Mystery of the man who was solved in Chicago
In Chicago on June 5 the brother and sister confirmed their mother’s identification of the enigmatic "I. C. RR" as her son. The mind-impaired man, whose voice is paralyzed, showed affection for his mother and recalled eight years of memory. Mrs. H. E. Pitkin identified Earl W., a mining engineer in Nevada, as her son by a former husband, though siblings initially doubted due to his age. The man vanished in 1906 and later appeared in Rochester, Minnesota, where surgeons attempted to restore his mind.
