1'hene 213 EL PASO, Apll A co-ordinated effort to solve the week-end robbery-torture slayings of Mrs. Weston O. Frpme, 46, and her 23-year-old daughter, Nancy, was started today. Peace officers set up a bureau of information and dele- gated to Sheriff Chris Fox of El Paso the task of handling the records and, data. Spurred by offers of $2,000 rewards officers held six persons for questioning in three states.

The latest arrests were at Laredo, where constable Ed Wormser held a 23-year-old salesman and his 19-year-old wife for questioning. They said they lived In Berkeley, Frames' home town; that they had been in the lame social circles with Nancy Frome and that they knew the mother and daughter planned a trip to South Carolina to visit relatives. At Rankin, Sheriff W. C. Fowler said he did mot believe that a 30-year-old man arrested at McCamey was implicated directly, but that a bag found in his possession fitted the description of some of the Frome luggage.

Fowler said the rp 1 1 was held at Cordell, by Sheriff Oscar Doran. The arrest waa made at the request of Alamogordo, officers, who were holding a man described as a Fort Sill, Okla army deserter. The; Cordell man said he had traveled with the man held at Alamogordo. Deputy Sheriff Ben Kratzberg Jailed man' at Blsbee. after the man had acted irrationally.

Hurry up. get through with me. I've got to be going because they're lying face down and I've got to bury them," the deputy said the man muttered. El Paso officers said they were seeking at least four persons with criminal records known to have been in this vicinity shortly prior to the disappearance of the Ftomes last Wednesday. A mysterious blonde woman was one of the four sought for questioning.
