Charlotte, Sept. 18—An aged white man, apparently an amnesia victim, was picked up on the streets here today by the police and is being held while the officers try to secure a clue as to his identity.
The man apparently is about 65 years of age, neatly dressed in plain clothes. His shirt is blue, trousers gray and coat black. In his pockets 97 cents in change, a knife and five stamped envelopes with no address were found.
The only evidence on the man’s clothing that might possibly serve as an aid in finding out his identity was a piece of very cheap writing paper with directions written out. The places mentioned that he might be from, or going to Atlanta.
The note read: “Catch a College Park-Haperville or East Point car, get off at Arlington Avenue at the store in Oakland City. Call at Hamilton’s pressing club and someone will show you.” At the bottom was a telephone number. West 0590 W.
