Demented and Wandering the Streets
A middle-aged woman, barefooted and dressed only in her night clothes, was found wandering the streets of Camden yesterday night by policeman. She said her name was Maggie Hopkins and claimed to have been robbed of $800. She was apparently deranged when the policeman took the woman and her ten-year-old boy, who accompanied her, to the Homeopathic Hospital, where they were kindly cared for.
