Was it Amnesia?

On February 14, 1930 the Los Angeles Times reported on the strange case of Harry Stone. Stone, proprietor of the Rubidoux auto camp, located just west of the Rubidoux bridge, turned up in Yuma, Arizona suffering from amnesia. Meanwhile, his wife claimed that he had left town with a considerable amount of money and the couple's automobile.

Stone claimed that the last thing he remembered was entering a Riverside bank with $250 dollars he planned to deposit. Four days later he wandered into Yuma with only $10 on him. It was not known what happened to the rest of the money. Yuma police identified Stone based on papers he had on his person because Stone could give them no useful information. It was this lack of information that made authorities conclude he had amnesia.

Stone was held in the Yuma jail while the Riverside County Sheriff decided whether or not to bring him back to face charges in the theft as claimed by his wife. Stone was said to be calling incessently for "Ann," which was thought to be the name of his wife.
