Charlotte, April 21—Efforts were being continued here today to ascertain the identity of a man about 60 years old suffering from the loss of memory, who was brought to Charlotte yesterday by an automobilist, who picked him up on the road from Columbia, S.C.
The man spoke intelligently upon many subjects, but who could not recall his name or home, said he came to himself 18 days ago on a road in Florida, and had been making his way since then toward Richmond or Baltimore, where he felt he would find friends.
Reports that a man named Norris had been missing from Baltimore were called to his attention and he named a Baltimore hotel, saying “If I could see the register of the Emerson Hotel, I believe I could recognize my name.”
The man was sent to a hospital for observation last night after being taken to dinner.
