Simply 'Phone 552 Objection Taken to Publicity At the opening of the Inquest into the death of Betty Anne Draper held in City Police Court Friday afternoon A Boddy KC speaking for Mr and Mrs George Draper 38 Brock Lane said clients feel very strongly in connexion with the newspaper articles which appeared on or about November 7 They feel that they should not have received this publicity until such time as a public inquest was held if one was felt necessary are especially Incensed because they state that a certain reporter told them that he had the police story and if the Drapers did not give him their version of the story he would publish the police story and It would be much better for them if they had their story published It was only on these grounds that any statements at all were given to the press and any photographs were given (Sir Boddy stated afterwards that the reporter referred to waa not a member of Tho Expositor reportorlal staff) feel that this coroner's Jury should be advised by you Mr Coroner that they should disabuse their minds of anything which they have heard or read with reference to any subject on this inquest and any verdict they bring in should be brought in entirely upon evidence which will be taken at this inquest clients cannot understand why any statements in connexion with the subject matter of this inquest should have been made public as far back as Nov 7 1947 and are anxious to ascertain what person or persons are responsible for the said unfair WINDSOlTplicE HERE FOR YOUTHS Windsor police officers arrived here today to pick up
