SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 29.--Four days ago a man called at -the Central Emergency hospital and. said he had forgotten his identity. He has since been detained, under the name of John Meyers, a small Episcopalian Bible in' his pocket bearing that name. The man thinks that he is a native of New York and that he lives somewhere up the Hudson river; also that he Is a graduate of Tale, and that he may at one time have been engaged in literary work, either as an illustrator or a writer. This is borne out bv his con- versatlon, and he drew a character picture pic-ture and down in the corner placed a signature "P. C W ,04." In his pockets when he came to the hospital was a small memorandum book containing the address of parties in Spokane, Wash., and Butte, Mont He also had a card of the Rev. H. B. Collier, San Francisco. The Rev. Collier Col-lier called on the man, but was unable to place him, and Meyers was unable to recall the minister. A peculiar feature was that the card he had was one that was printed seven years ago. |
