Court Reporter's Record For Accuracy Renowned

By GERARD Mi-XETIL

QUEBEC tCP' —- Oscar Bot...- joly shatters the image of in; courtroom reporter as an unoh trusn-e figure.

His spectacles are adjiiistel by his choice. so that he can hunch a few inches from his notebook as he takes up it 273 words of testimony a mm‘c‘e.

i'sually. all that can be seen of him is his brown hair on the horn rims of his spectacles. out when s e v e r a 1 persons legin talking at once he has a ge tiirc that stlences even judges

He springs erect, hands i i .‘e Ihis head his long black can looking as if it might spit it- ning at the first person to :tcr I soon .'

During the Brossard royal commission inquiry into the (lof- fin murder case. Mr. Boisjoly's magic gesture sometimes stopped savage fusillades tween witnesses and lawyers.

That was the effect he had on the commission, and it made him a memorable figure in the panorama of striking personali- ties in the case

The effect the acrid inquiry had on him was that for the, first time in his 20-year (‘at‘t‘t‘l‘ he had a tape recorder :niltL‘ to back up his own record of the testimony.

Careers hinge on this con‘ flit-ting record and the 45-year- old reporter though! his accu- racy might be questioned at some point

It wasn't.

TOPS IN FIELD

"We lived on our reputation for accuracy." he says.

Errors are sometimes iiiadc. particularly since court report~ ers must cope with dozens oi at» ' cents and inflections and the oc- casionally rambling testimony of people who are nervous or evasive.

There has the reporter who thought the jury foreman said 'rnille," the French word for thousand. instead of “nil” in an» nouncing damage in a civil suit The jury had to be called back to swear it had aiiardcd nothin: instead of Milo".

Despite any tears frcc-lan-er Boisjoly may have. his repiita for accuracy is unclial

Recognized as too in his field. he usually major asignments such the Brossard inquiry, thi- rnyal commission on St. Law- rence pilotage and important murder cases.

To ease tension while working and to avoid the professional hazard of writer's cramp. he i. constantly tells himself "Dont ' squeeze the pen"
