Please forward this to everyone you know in the local area and within driving distance whether you can come or not. Tell them to do the same to everyone they know.
Dr. Clark, just yesterday, was given approval to be in Ft. Collins this week. She is speaking Friday at the 10th International Forum on New Science.
*The Forum is taking place now from October 21-24, 1999. For additional information, call (970)-482-3731. More information on the Forum is available at www.newsciences.org.
Dear Friend,
The following is a letter I received from Dr. Clark:
Dear Bonnie, October 9, 1999
Thank you, again, for doing such a fine service to your readers. I am overwhelmed with expressions of kindness from them. But it is more than kindness. I can see a determination to hold on to the truths so far uncovered by my research — not to have them squelched by "authorities" as has befallen others before me. It is to these "others" that I dedicated the new book, because when I read about the imprisonment of Royal Rife, I could have cried for 1000 hours without stop. And about others whose court involvements were disabling.
With your commitment to stay empowered through communication, we will prevail.
Best Wishes,
Hulda R. Clark
This is Bonnie again . . .
Linda and Frank Jerome hosted an Open House for Dr. Clark on Sunday October 17, 1999. Sixty-eight people came to give their support and testimonials. Dr. Clark was presented with roses and a birthday cake for her 71st birthday. The press recorded many testimonials.
Update from Geoff Clark, October 18, 1999: "Subject: Sunday, Date: 17 Oct 1999. By all accounts, the Open House yesterday was a huge success. People were there from IL, KY, OH as well as Indiana. Testimonials galore. Birthday cake. Thank you to the Jeromes for hosting it!
"Dr. Clark has decided not to ask to leave Indiana for at least two months* in order to work with her attorney and prepare her defense. She does not believe, six years ago or now, that her activities constituted practicing medicine without a license. She believes that if the law says her non-invasive, non-prescription actions require a medical license, then the law should be fought!
"Frank Jerome had similar thoughts as I have attached below."
*Dr. Clark will ask to go to Colorado next weekend as she is being honored as "Scientist Of The Year" at a symposium for Alternative Science.
Geoff has a new email address, healthy@shrc.net and Home Page, http://www.shrc.net.
The following are some places to send emails in support of Dr. Clark:
"Those who nobly set out to be their brother’s keepers sometimes end up by becoming his jailer. Every emancipation has in it the seeds of a new slavery, and every truth easily becomes a lie." — I. F. Stone, American Journalist (1907-1989)
Last night my wife Linda and I had the pleasure of seeing The Sound of Music starring Richard Chamberlain (a first rate production). In the second act there is a scene at the music festival. It opens with an empty stage and suddenly three huge Nazi flags drop from the ceiling: three huge red flags with huge black and white swastikas. I was raised in the 1940’s so anti-Nazi propaganda was common, but I was not ready for the visceral reaction that grabbed at my heart. If I could have gotten out of the row without stepping on a dozen people I would have left. I tried to calm myself telling myself it was only a play I had seen dozens of times (I produced an amateur production once.). It didn’t work. I was very upset.
A few minutes later when the play was over and Linda and I were walking to our car, I asked her if the scene had upset her. She said it had. I asked her what it reminded her of and she answered "Dr. Clark." I said that was how it had affected me.
What we have seen happen to Dr. Clark over the last month is just like the Nazi’s Gestapo storm trooper tactics that were portrayed in the play — the use of force to intimidate those who do not share their viewpoint. The "thought police" in action. The only choice is to submit or flee. There is another way — YOU CAN FIGHT!
I started to think about who is it that is telling us, telling Americans, what they can think and how they can act. It is not the practicing medical doctors who must struggle to do their best under the growing insurance bureaucracy who are behind these tactics. It is the medical establishment made up of state medical boards and medical schools who first want to control these very doctors. As an offshoot they want to control anyone else who might wish to treat ill people.
To control medical doctors they can stop them from having hospital privileges, which can force them out of a community. If that tactic fails they can attack their license. These are very strong economic pressures that usually work to keep medical doctors in line. To control non-medical doctors they had to create laws that fit their needs. They wrote the laws they wanted and had legislators pass them. They used the argument that they are concerned that non-medical doctors may hurt people. It did not hurt their cause that they gave generously to the legislators’ reelection campaigns. After passing these laws state by state, the medical establishments took total control of "real doctors" and have the laws to attack anyone else. All this has taken place in less than 100 years.
Who are these people anyway? Would it shock you to find out that they are white men? Almost all doctors until very recently have been white men. They work with other white men at the insurance companies many of which the physicians formed (Blue Cross/Blue Shield). Only reluctantly did the white men allow women and minorities to become doctors over the last few decades. The real power at the top is still held by white men.
They say they want this control to protect the public. There is another way to see it, i.e., a way to maintain their control over the trillion dollars spent on the medical treatments. If the system really worked no one would have a complaint, but it doesn’t work. Just the creation of HMO’s over the last decade shows that there are real management problems that are getting worse. The death rate of cancer growing from 3 percent in 1900 to 33 percent now (1100 percent increase) shows there is something very wrong. The tripling of the rates of diabetes, Alzheimer’s (AD), and asthma in the last 20 years show that the doctors are not getting any better at solving the people’s health needs. Examples of the inadequacies of the U.S. medical cartel are rampant and getting worse.
The medical establishment in America is the strongest monopoly we have. It has gotten fat and inbred so that it is incapable of changing to find real answers to help people with their health problems. The situation is not hopeless because there are thousands of people, some medical doctors and all kinds of others working very hard, under extreme pressure, trying to help make up for the medical system’s inadequacies. Are they rewarded for their efforts? No, they are attacked as the old failing system tries to maintain its economic control. The losers are the people.
In fifty years this will all work out. That is the lifetime of the people in control. It is also the lifetime of the rest of us. Do you want to wait for fifty years before you can get freedom in selecting your own healthcare? I bet you want help now. After all, the root word of health is HEALING, not profit or control.
There are times we can use the help of medical doctors. The rest of the time, we want the freedom to choose how we want to be treated. We want to be able to find the people who can best help us and not the ones whom we are told to see. This is America and we want and deserve the right to be in control of our own lives. The statistics are showing that Americans are using alternative healthcare more and more every year. If the old system was as good as they think it is then this would not be happening.
The medical establishment is scared and will become more frightened as people exercise their right to choose. They will attack anyway they can, not to protect the public but to protect themselves and their money. More and more Gestapo tactics like putting Dr. Clark in jail for 16 days in conditions she is reluctant to describe. Such a display of power is to send a message to everyone who does not hold with their monopolistic power. Everyone who believes that we have the right to choose our own destiny must stand up and say "No more Nazi tactics." No more attacks like when the armed men in Gestapo black raided Dr. Jonathan Wright’s office. He was even a medical doctor but that did not stop the medical establishment from being so afraid of him to sponsor a baseless attack.
The people through their representatives give the power to this medical monopoly. It is time we send the message that their day of rule by intimidation is over. We want our freedom back. All we have to do to get it back is to stand up for our rights. Vote at the ballot box and vote with your money. It is time to take back control of our own health! — Frank Jerome, D.D.S.
Dr. Clark’s new book, The Cure for All Advanced Cancers, with a 21 Day Cancer Curing Program, has been flying out the door! PBS’s Tony Brown show, "Can Parasites and Chemicals Cause Cancer?" will be advertising the book — some stations have the first of four parts listed to be shown on Sunday, October 24, 1999. This means that there is a very strong possibility that the book will be sold out soon after the 24th. Order your copy today and have it sent by Priority Mail for only $21.95 plus $3.00 postage. Call us at (800) 651-7080.
Love,

Hot topic: Hulda Clark
Letters to the editor
Real issue is fear
To the editor:
Arresting Dr. Hulda Clark in Brown County is as ridiculous as putting Mother Teresa in jail.
The charge "Practicing medicine without a license" is an archaic umbrella law that urgently needs to be updated. Hard to believe this witchhunt could happen in 1999. Dr. Clark is helping people cure themselves of cancer and other so-called "incurable" illnesses, and her books belong in every household.
My mother, father, mine, and many friends’ lives, have been improved or saved by Dr. Clark’s knowledge — astounding many doctors. My mother’s dramatic improvement from bone cancer prompted Hospice to say we didn’t need them anymore. My father’s bleeding intestinal ulcers were cured from Clark’s books — the list goes on.
Don’t be fooled. The real underlying issue is the fear of the established medical and pharmaceutical industry losing control, money and power over the now extremely lucrative commodity of health. Yours, mine, and our family’s.
How dare they try to take away our right to choose our own health care? What business is it of theirs how we choose to take care of our health and our family’s? What tyranny!
Present medical industry profits, from cancer victims, run into the hundreds of thousands, and still they often die. Dr. Clark’s non-invasive, no-side-effects remedies cost less than $200, and really work. What does that tell you? Any question where the real issue lies?
Historically, medical pioneers such as Pasteur, Sister Kenney, and a host of others have been tormented and persecuted because of their knowledge. Dr. Clark is also being targeted.
It’s the medical industry profiteers who should be charged and jailed for killing the sick and exploiting the dying. Stop this madness. Free Dr. Clark now!
Arden McConnell
Change the laws
To the editor:
It’s a sorry day when a grandmother, Dr. Hulda Clark, is arrested because her writings have violated the laws of this fine country. Our laws have created a monopoly for the medical doctors who are now the only ones who legally use words like diagnose, cure, heal, etc., when they have a very sorry record in the cases of cancer, AIDS, HIV, etc. There are other natural modalities of help such as nutritional supplementation, essential oils, acupuncture and chiropractacy that have true value for suffering humanity.
Dr. Clark’s books have helped a friend of mine become totally free of cancer. My friend now has a strict diet, makes her own soap and shampoo and has radiant health. I’ve built my own "zapper" and our family members use it to help overcome colds and flu.
Our national laws need to be changed to allow gifted researchers like Dr. Clark to continue their work to help humanity without the interference of suppressive laws.
John Mooney
Support Hulda Clark
To the editor:
My father and I were both patients in Dr. Hulda Clark’s clinic in Mexico for a period of six weeks and know she has helped us and many others using safe and effective methods.
We need to support people like Dr. Clark who dedicate their lives to helping others. She is helping many, hurting no one, and should be rewarded for her efforts. She does not claim to be a medical doctor and her patients were all aware that conventional treatment was available, but they chose to travel from all over the world to take advantage of her methods and returned home with improved health.
America’s citizens should have the right to choose how they wish to treat disease. Perhaps the laws should be on trial, not Dr. Clark.
Carolyn Anderson, Cary, N.C.
Voice suppressed
To the editor:
I was appalled to read of the recent arrest of Dr. Hulda Clark. I am currently treating my mother according to Dr. Clark’s parasite program. I would certainly not be using the program if I didn’t firmly believe in her discoveries.
I find it funny that her discoveries and case history cures are based on a very simple concept. Parasites and toxic elements. It wasn’t long ago that it was a common practice to "worm" your children, but we have abandoned this practice for some odd reason. Our "product" — oriented culture, I’m sure, is gasping at the mere suggestion that our loveable products are causing parasites to live in an un-natural state in our bodies. This sounds like something from the ‘X Files’ almost, I know, but does it not threaten the billions and billions of dollars generated by the health care system?
Save Dr. Clark
Jon Boatwright, Arkansas
Get the facts straight
To the editor:
Your credibility as a newspaper goes down when you don’t get the facts straight (which seems to be a problem with most reporters/newspapers).
Dr. Hulda Clark has written three books. They are: The Cure For All Cancers, The Cure For All Diseases and The Cure for HIV/AIDS.
What else is wrong in that article I can only imagine.

Clark not swayed by charges
Author, 70, plans to continue doing research, sharing alternative theories about treating disease
By Steve Hinnefeld,
Herald-Times Staff Writer
Former Brown County resident Hulda Clark talks about additional research she has conducted over the past three years that she says supports her suggestions for health care. Clark faces Brown County charges of practicing medicine without a license.
Hulda Clark said she doesn’t plan to let a criminal prosecution slow her effort to learn about the causes and cures of cancer and to publish what she finds.
"I’ll be 71 next week," she said, "and I’d like to spend the rest of my working days doing my research."
Her latest book is out this week, and its title is uncompromising: The Cure for All Advanced Cancers.
At the same time, her forced trip to Indiana to fight charges of practicing medicine without a license has interrupted her work as research consultant at a Tijuana, Mexico, clinic where cancer patients are treated.
Clark, who lived in the Bloomington and Nashville area from 1965 until 1993, was charged six years ago in Brown County. She was arrested last month in San Diego, Calif., and returned to Indiana to face a possible 2 to 8 years in prison.
Her case has drawn attention all over the world. Clark and her family have received more than 200 messages of support from throughout the United States and from Sweden, Germany, South Africa, Japan and Australia.
"I get e-mail every day and letters every day," she said this week in an interview at a friend’s home in Bloomington, where she is staying.
Clark, citing advice from her attorney, Steve Dillon, declined to answer questions about the charges against her. But she readily explained her ideas about disease and health.
She says cancer is caused by a combination of parasites and toxins in the body. "It’s that simple, but in detail it’s complicated," she said.
She uses an electronic device, called a Syncrometer, to determine whether cancer-causing agents are present in various tissues of the body. She recommends low-level electrical charges, often using a device she calls "The Zapper," to kill parasites and herbal cures and other methods to cleanse the body of toxins.
"I want people to be able to find their own cause of illness for the first time," she said.
The ideas are explained in Clark’s books, which include The Cure for All Cancers, The Cure for HIV/AIDS and The Cure for All Diseases. She said some readers are put off by the word "cure," but she argues it’s an accurate description of what happens when the cause of a disease is discovered and removed.
Her current book, Clark said, provides the "hard evidence" that her critics have called for. It runs 600 pages and includes more than 50 case histories of cancer patients who used her methods.
Clark’s supporters include hundreds who say they have been helped by following her methods, and alternative health sites on the Internet have buzzed with outrage over news of her arrest. But many mainstream medical professionals scoff at her claims, and they are also making their views known.
Stephen Barrett, a retired Allentown, Pa., psychiatrist and author, derides what he calls "the bizarre claims of Hulda Clark" on a Web site called Quackwatch. Steve Dunn, a cancer patient who runs the CancerGuide Web site, also dismisses Clark’s theories.
Both make the same argument: that the case studies in Clark’s The Cure for All Cancers aren’t valid because there’s no objective evidence about the cancers before and after Clark’s treatment.
Terri Ades, director of health content for the American Cancer Society in Atlanta, said Clark and her theories are well-known in alternative medicine circles. Ades said she has read The Cure for All Cancers.
"She makes a lot of claims with little scientific evidence," Ades said.
Clark’s invention "The Zapper" includes two electrical probes wrapped around the wrists that are connected to a pocket-sized device that sends out an electrical shock every few minutes. She says it kills bacteria and parasites in the body.
Clark isn’t a physician. She has bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Saskatchewan and received a Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Minnesota in 1958.
She also has a doctor of naturopathy degree from the Clayton College of Natural Health. Naturopathy, a field that relies on using the body’s ability to heal itself, is recognized by licensing agencies in 11 states but not in Indiana.
Clark moved to Bloomington in 1965 to work at Indiana University. She began studying nutrition, influenced by the books of Adele Davis and a desire to do what was best for her children.
She became well-known in the Bloomington area, and people would travel to her office in Nashville seeking advice about allergies and other ailments.
David Lasocki, a head research librarian at Indiana University, said he saw Clark in 1992 for help with chronic fatigue, and other family members sought her help for asthma and allergies.
Clark advised him to eliminate sources of toxins from his environment and take herbal medicines, he said.
"I cleaned up my act in many ways, following her advice," Lasocki said. "Within a few weeks I felt much better. Within a few months I was back to normal health."
Lasocki said he is dismayed at the charges against Clark. "Instead of arresting her we should be giving her a prize for her imagination and dedication," he said. "That’s how I feel about it."
The charges resulted from a 1993 investigation by the Indiana attorney general’s office and the state Department of Health, which acted in response to a complaint. Two investigators visited her Nashville office, and one of them posed as a bisexual man who believed he had been exposed to HIV.
After testing him with her Syncrometer, Clark said, "You’re full of the virus" and "I can kill the virus in 3 minutes," according to a transcript of a tape-recording of the consultation.
The charges were filed in August 1993. By that time, Clark, who had been alerted that she was under investigation, had moved to California.
She said she had been planning to move all that year. She said a 97-year-old woman, whom she lived with and cared for, wanted to see the ocean again. And Clark herself had heard from a California publisher who was interested in her first book.
"And this event happened, so why should I delay?" she said.
Last month, an FBI agent in California contacted Brown County Prosecutor Jim Oliver and asked if he wanted to pursue the 6-year-old charges. Oliver gave the OK for extradition. Oliver said the agent told him the FBI was investigating a complaint from the family of a woman who had died from breast cancer after being treated at Clark’s Mexico clinic.
Oliver said he isn’t passing judgment on Clark’s theories.
"This is not about alternative medicine," he said. "It is not about whether her treatments are effective. It’s about an individual doing things that only a licensed physician can do."
Clark said she doesn’t practice medicine, nor is she trying to pick a fight with physicians. In a note at the beginning of her latest book, she says the methods she advocates "are not designed to be a replacement for other forms of conventional medical treatment." Rather, she said, her methods can be used in combination with conventional methods.
She said she welcomes scientific scrutiny. But until that happens, she said, she is obligated to make public ideas that she believes can relieve suffering.
She said she trusts people to make informed decisions about their health.
"They have, at least, the advantage of going to the Internet right now and finding opinions that are critical," she said. "That’s the way it should be.
"We can’t lead everybody by the hand into the right therapy. Nothing is going to work all the time for everybody."

Jailed for possession of herbs?
Health guru, 70, faces 8 years in prison
By Stephan Archer
A 70-year-old physiologist and researcher, recently imprisoned for more than two weeks, may be looking at eight more years in federal prison since her arrest by the FBI for practicing medicine without a license.
Dr. Hulda Regehr Clark, who has both a Ph.D. in physiology and a degree in naturopathy, has a significant worldwide following in the realm of alternative medicine. She is most noted for her popular health books with the outlandish-sounding titles, "The Cure for all Cancers," "The Cure for HIV and AIDS" and "The Cure for All Diseases."
At the heart of Clark’s methodologies is a device of her own invention called the syncrometer. This device, claims Clark, can be used to identify pollutants in food and other common products. When the device detects a pollutant, Clark advises people to avoid contact with the product.
Although Clark’s syncrometer may detect pollutants in food and other products, her later discoveries sent a shock wave through the medical establishment when she claimed to have found the culprit causing both cancer and HIV/AIDS. The source of these terminal diseases, Clark claims, is a human intestinal fluke that can be completely eliminated from one’s system using the right herbs. Her herbal recipes have created many true believers the world over.
So what is Clark’s crime?
Brown County, Ind., prosecutor James R. Oliver says Clark is being charged with practicing medicine without a license — a Class C Felony in Indiana — because state law says a person who is not medically licensed cannot diagnose or treat a patient, nor can they recommend or prescribe treatment to a patient. The statute further says it is unlawful for such a person to maintain an office for treating patients.
On May 11, 1993, Amy M. Huffman, then a deputy attorney general for Indiana, and Karl Milhon, an investigator for the Indiana Department of Health, Acquired Diseases Division, went to Clark’s Nashville, Ind., office undercover. Milhon posed as a bi-sexual who recently had learned that a former partner of his tested positive for the HIV virus. Huffman posed as a supportive friend.
During the ensuing conversation with Clark, which was secretly recorded, Clark tested Milhon for the HIV virus and declared him HIV positive. Before the test, she had Milhon sign a statement saying he understood she was not a medical doctor. Clark then directed Milhon to a local medical laboratory to have an HIV/antigen blood test to verify her preliminary diagnosis.
When Milhon and Huffman returned to Clark’s office later that day, Clark discovered that they were undercover agents. Even then, Clark insisted that Milhon see a doctor about his condition. Although neither side would confirm whether or not Milhon had ever actually been tested, Milhon, now working in a different state, told WorldNetDaily, "I am not HIV positive, nor have I ever been, and I was not cured by any zapper."
Explaining the reading of her syncrometer, Clark said, "An electronic test like mine is much more sensitive and would detect a much smaller amount of virus than would be picked up by a chemical test such as a lab uses. The syncrometer does not quantify. It only detects presence or absence (of the virus)."
"Of course, when you can’t quantify, you don’t diagnose," added Clark. "Thus, it isn’t a medical device. It’s a detection device."
Not wanting to be the target of an investigation, and already having made plans to move to California, Clark moved her office to San Diego and left Nashville a few days later. According to court documents, however, the warrant for her arrest wasn’t issued until Aug. 16, 1993. The warrant wasn’t actively pursued until last month, Sept. 20, when Oliver extradited Clark from California to Indiana following an independent investigation of Clark by the FBI.
"This case is not about alternative medicine, or whether Hulda Clark’s treatments are effective," Oliver explained. "This case is about an unlicensed individual diagnosing and treating patients. Only licensed physicians are permitted to diagnose and treat patients in Indiana."
Many, however, believe the issue surrounding Clark’s arrest goes far deeper than Indiana law.
The National Health Federation, a non-profit educational and health freedom organization, is concerned that the prosecution of Clark may have more to do with medical politics — especially the billions of dollars earned every year by large pharmaceutical companies and the cancer industry — than with protecting the public.
"We are concerned that this may be the big issue," said a spokesperson for NHF who wished to remain anonymous. "She (Clark) is threatening the gigantic cancer enterprise."
Clark’s attorney, Steve Dillon, expressed similar concern that his client was the target of a selective prosecution.
"What I’m afraid is really behind this is the AMA (American Medical Association) wants to protect its right to the exclusive practice of any kind of medicine, and anybody who doesn’t have an M.D. degree gets in trouble in Indiana," Dillon said.
Although Clark is being tried as a criminal, that hasn’t stopped the hundreds of supportive letters from around the nation and world giving testimony to Clark’s discoveries and encouragement.
In a letter to the Brown County Democrat, Paul Rekstad of Loveland, Colo., said, "I am 68-years-old and a retiree who attributes my excellent state of health to alternative medical approaches including Dr. Hulda Clark’s important work. In my judgment, the persecution and arrest of Dr. Clark, by state and federal agencies for allegedly ‘practicing medicine without a license’ is the height of hypocrisy. This is especially true, given the fact that allopathic practitioners kill over 300,000 people a year due to medical negligence. Clark has helped countless cancer patients written off as hopeless by allopathic physicians. It is essential to keep treatment options open and not be held hostage by the traditional, drug-oriented medicine with more than its share of fraud, imperfection and incompetence."
Another letter from Susan Dembowski of Rayne, La., to Geoff Clark, son of Hulda Clark, said, "I have only recently begun Dr. Clark’s suggestions and I feel so much better about not poisoning my body as much as before — within a week of accidentally getting a copy of Dr. Clark’s old book, I was half through the parasite purge, had removed almost all the cosmetics and cleaners in my house and replaced them with the suggested hand-made items, and I noticed that without all the poison on my skin and in my body, I felt better, my skin was healthier, and a small spot where I believe cancer may have been returning went away."
Clark’s international following has also expressed its support.
"I’m indignant to see that such a visionary country as the USA still behaves in a restrictive way and promotes injustice, instead of justice towards the efforts of well-known researchers!" exclaimed a letter to Geoff Clark from Carla Fleischli Caporale, a journalist from Pavia, Italy.
Another letter to Geoff Clark from Mary and Walter Weber-Hausman in Germany said, "Dr. H. Clark has helped us so much even though no other medical doctor could help us. We have been ill for years with intestinal problems as well as heart and kidney problems. (Dr. Clark’s) herbal remedies are so powerful, they saved (me from using) adjuvant medication for my kidneys. Dr. H. Clark is a lady with a lot of empathy for her patients. She has a very high ethical and moral level like the ideal of doctors in ancient times such as Hippocrates."
A registered nutritional therapist named Sheriden Dixon working in Chesire, England, also wrote to Geoff Clark. In her letter, she mentioned she had two "zapper machines" made by a friend who teaches physics. At her practice, the device had been used to eliminate parasites. One entire family that had been misdiagnosed by their family doctor as having eczema, the letter claims, was correctly diagnosed as having scabies. Clark’s treatments, Dixon stated in the letter, cured the family of the scabies mite.
Regarding the rekindling of the six-year-old case, Dillon pointed out that the current prosecutor, Oliver, who was not the original attorney on the case, is now married to Huffman, one of two witnesses in the 1993 undercover investigation.
Oliver countered that there is not a conflict of interest here, either legally or ethically. However, he conceded that he is evaluating whether it poses an "appearance of a conflict" that he should do something about.
Dillon said he plans to challenge the constitutionality of Indiana’s statute on behalf of Hulda Clark.
"We believe it’s overbroad and vague. We believe it violates her right to due process of law. We believe there was an unreasonable delay in bringing her to justice because she really wasn’t a fugitive. You don’t stay in your same name and stay in the country if you’re trying to get away," Dillon said.
After Clark pled "not guilty" upon arriving in Brown County, Ind., and appearing before Brown County Circuit Court Judge Heather Mollo, she was released on bail for $10,000, which was reduced from $15,000. A pre-trial conference is scheduled to be held Jan. 24, 2000, and the jury trial is scheduled to follow on Feb. 2.
