New York police mailed to colleagues all over the world 10,000 circulars, like those advertising criminals wanted, with Judge Crater's photograph and description prominently displayed: "Age, 41 years; height, 6 feet; weight, 185 pounds; mixed grey hair . . . thin at top, parted in middle, 'slicked' down; . . . brown eyes; false...
