DOCTOR LOSES IDENTITY FOR THREE DAYS AND RECOVERS INSISTS HE IS ANOTHER MAN WHO “REPAIRS AUTOS FOR HIS LIVING MLE, GENEE, DAINTY DANCER, Dr. Frank Masar Is a Victim FAVORITE OF MANY RULERS of a Strange Lapse of His Personality. Dr, Frank Masar, “who lives at the Angelus, 1110 Fourth av., lost his personality last Tuesday afternoon and did not recover it until Friday evening. During this time he ceased, as far as he was concerned, }to be Dr. Masar, and became for the time being William Kel | logg, a repairer of automobiles. During this time he was under the care of his friend, Dr. W. T. Wooley, who has offices in the Seattle National Bank building. This is the first and only case recorded locally of a mam | losing his personality and identity. It is not a rare occurrence, however, as there are several authenticated instances, but none | where the victim recovered so quickly as did Dr. Masar. While Dr. Masar has entirely recovered, he knows from his medical experience that the lapse is likely to occur again }at any time, and has made arrangements for turning over his physician and taking a long rest.
