In her suit, Ms. Mendenhall, an editor with Cable News Network, said she went so far as to schedule an April 1, 1989, wedding at Mount Vernon Baptist Church in Sandy Springs. Among the damages she is seeking is reimbursement for the wedding gown she never got to wear. The suit portrays Mr. Garvey, whose reputation in professional baseball earned him the nickname "Mr.

Clean," as a juggler of relationships with several women, while he maintained to Ms. Mendenhall that he was seeing no but her. Mr. Garvey has admitted the Eossibility that he impregnated oth Ms. Mendenhall and a San Diego woman, but has said that "in both cases, I was led to believe that I wasn't responsible for birth control."

Mr. Wilson said the alleged victims' families were "delighted" by news of the arrest "They've been very supportive of our effort," he said.

Mowat was being held without bond Monday at Pentonsville prison, Mr.

Wilson said. Although no official indication, has been given, he said, there is some possibility he will waive extradition, he said. Extradition papers are on their way to the Justice Department for relay to British authorities. Mr. Wilson said he believes the Rev.
