Famed Lawyer Max Steuer said he would raise the money if the Aldermen could not legally do so. 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...
