WOMAN FALLS INTO RIVER
Unable to Give Coherent Account of What Took Place INCIDENT AT HAMILTON SUFFERING FROM SHOCK
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) HAMILTON, To-day.
A person was seen to fall from the Hamilton railway bridge into the Waikato River about 6 o’clock yesterday morning and was later identified as a young woman, believed to be mentally afflicted.
Late yesterday the woman was admitted to the Waikato hospital suffering from shock, but otherwise she was physically fit. It appears that she cannot give a coherent account of what took place. The police stated this morning that they did not know how the woman emerged from the river, but it is possible that she swam to the bank.
