An Astonishing Statement
SERIOUS CHARGES MADE BY A WOMAN. [Per Press Association. — Copyright.] Melbourne, Sept. 23. A woman Riving her name as Clara Parker has surrendered to the gaol authorities, and made a statement of an astonishing character. She professes to have been repeatedly and continuously drugged by people whom she names, and while in that condition travelled to Brisbane. She was quarantined during the recent small-pox outbreak, and was afterwards taken back to Sydney, then sailed to Sin Francisco, being accompanied as far as Auckland. On arriving at Honolulu she realised she was doing wrong and returned. The woman Parker was before the Court in June, charged with perjury. She was bailed out, and some time after turned up at Albuty, whither she said she had been taken when drugged, though her solicitor denied this was the case. After that she again mysteriously disappeared.
