r 1M Skid Row Romeo Quizzed Further In Death of Girls Chicago (UP) Authorities today questioned a Skid How Romeo and painstakingly tracked down scores of other tips in an all-out effort to find the killer of two teen-aged sisters. ? f son 4 S La Sheriff's police said a lie de tector test given Edward Lee Benny The Dishwasher Bedwell, 21, proved "inconclusive." He was held for further question ing and investigation. The nude and crumpled bodies of Barbara Grimes, 15, and her sister, Patricia, 13, were found Tuesday in a ditch on the city's southwest suburbs. Benny, who sports a duck-tail haircut and Elvis Presly side burns, has denied any connec tion with the slaying. At least three persons reported seeing the girls with Benny two days after they disappeared Dec. 28 after attending a Presley movie. The part-time dishwasher admitted taking two teen-aged girls on a tour of Skid Row bars then, but said he was certain they were not the Grimes sisters. Police checked out a report that the girls may have been alive as late as Jan. 14. eight days before their murder was discovered. Mrs. Wallace Tollstam said "frightened and depressed" Pa tricia telephoned her daughter early that morning. She said the caller, whose voice she recog nized as that of Patricia, asked: '"Is that you Sandra? Is Sandra there?" Mrs. Tollstam said her daugh ter Sandra, 13, and Patricia were close friends. She said she awakened her daughter because the voice sounded so frightened and depressed, but the caller hung up before Sandra reached the phone.
