Nancy says her count is innocent. Back in New York after a week's visit with her mother in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Nancy Oakes De Marigny defended her husband before reporters today (19th August). The pretty, 19-year-old girl whose husband, Count Alfred De Marigny is charged with the murder of her father, Sir Harry Oakes, in the far-off Bahamas, said that her husband hadn't seen her father since last March, four months before the murder occurred. She also spiked the rumour that her father, disappeared over her marriage, had disinherited her. 19 August 1943
