Two lines on back page of RW of 4 Apr under the heading 
'Corrections and ammendments':

"p. 273  Peal at Newcastle St. James -- delete all detail."

No further explanation is given, nor is a name or initials 
to the deletion, which is very curious.  I would at least 
expect a brief comment about it being false, a hoax, a 
duplicate, or whatever.  Do you recall the story, Sue?

I don't have easy access to 1950s RWs so can't look up the 
other one.
