I always wondered about that too, even the first time I heard it back in 1985. I was not about to second guess Perry Mason though.
Also the context of the joke, Martin zinging the patronizing jerk, pretty much dictates that the info must be true, but I'm not sure New World could have been that bothered in scripting the inserts, and I'm a little surprised I'd never heard of the incident anywhere else.
