Common Pleas Judge Bernard C. Brominski today denied a motion by the parents of Mary Jo Kopechne to dismiss a petition for an autopsy on their daughter's body. In making his ruling, Judge Brominski scheduled a hearing for Oct. 20 on the petition of Mass. Dist.

Atty. Edmund Dinis to show cause why the body of Mary Joe should be exhumed for an autopsy. SHI I i 1 Mi "It is the opinion of this court that the interests of both the public and the Kopechnes would be best served by developing the facts at a hearing to be held without delay. This would give the court the benefit of all the information available from both parties in arriving at the ultimate disposition of this matter." The court also rejected the request by the Ko-pechnes to delay the autopsy hearing until after an inquest is held. The 28-year-old Mary Jo drowned on the night of July 18 when a car driven by Sen.
