We do not possess even fairly accurate

COMO, Italy, June 11.-The
murder of Mary Crittenden Cas-
nee Scott, of San
Francisco, became an intemation-
al problem today when the police
appealed to the authorities at
Rome to institute a worldwide
search for Porter Charlton. the
young American who married
Mrs. Castle three months ago.
Porter Charlton was younger
than his wife by 10 years. He
was staying here under the name
of Charlton Porter and was pos
Ing as his wife's nephew. These
circumstances have led the local
authorities to suspect that CharI-
ton became tired of his wife and
murdered her.
While the death OF Stella Reid
who mutilated body was found in
the Bay of Naples. still remains a
mystery, the local police profess
to see connection between the
two crimes.
