STRANGE HALLUCINATIONS
Melbourne, Sept. 23
A woman giving her name as Clara Parker has surrendered to the gaol authorities, and made a statement of an astounding character. She asserts that she was continuously drugged by the people whom she names, and while in that condition that she travelled to Brisbane. She was quarantined during the recent smallpox outbreak, and was afterwards taken back to Sydney, and then sailed to San Francisco, being accompanied as far as Auckland by a certain person. On arriving at Honolulu she realised that she was doing wrong, and returned.
The woman named Parker was before the court in June charged with perjury. She was bailed out and some time after turned up at Albury, whither she said she had been taken when drugged, though her solicitor denied that this was the case. After that she again mysteriously disappeared.
