Henry, 54, who is charged with operating the racket with her for five years from a series of hotel rooms across the country. The daughter was not named in the complaint because of her age.

He did not indicate whether they began with pictures of Mrs. Henry's daughter, who would have been only 12 years old at the time. Mantzoros said Henry took the nude pictures.

Mantzoros said replies brought an average of $125 each. The original complaint in the case was made in 1952 or 1953 by John A. Kelly, Portland, postal authorities said. Since then the Henrys have kept one step ahead of the law, leaving each hotel home as soon as the mail brought a . fresh check or money order, Mantzoros said.

Mantzoros said Mrs. Henry said she came originally from Salt Lake City. The mother, a thin woman of about 5 feet 4 inches, with a soft voice, said she could not put up bail. Hearing was set for April 19.
