THE YARRA MYSTERY.
». ANOTHER IDENTIFICATION HOAX. [PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Melbourne, 29th December. A further development has taken place as to the Tarra mystery — concerning the discovery of the nude body of a woman in the Yarra river a fortnight ago wrapped in old sacking, and enclosed in a box, with every appearance that death had occurred after the inhalation of chloroform, which her condition suggested might be for the purposes of an illegal operation. v To-day a lady identified the body as that of Mary ODea, who has been missing from the Dandenong district, 20 miles south-east of Melbourne. (Received December 30, 9.10 a.m.) > Melbourne, This Day. Yesterday's identification turns out to be a mistake. Miss ODea, of Dandeuong, has been discovered alive and well. [This is the second time within a few days that mistakes have been made in the identification of this body.] .
