Buxton September 1927
When one of their guests started to behave a little strangely, the management of a Buxton hotel wasted little time in calling the police. When questioned, he seemed to be suffering from loss of memory. He thought that his name was Arden and believed that he worked for a cable company in Buenos Aries. He had no idea of how he came to be in Buxton nor of his friends or relatives. He was described as 35 to 40 years of age, 5ft 10in tall, and clean shaven. He appeared to be well educated and of good appearance. The response of the police was to incarcerate him in the Chapel-en-leFrith Union Workhouse !
