G O Psychiatrists to End Tests on Gein Waupun, Wis. fl? Psychia trists at the state mental hospital today prepared to complete an examination of butcher-killer Ed Gein who has confessed to raid ing two more graves. The 51-year-old bachelor farm er admitted Wednesday at the state crime laboratory in Madi son that he pillaged nine graves instead of seven as had been re ported previously. Gein said he opeped graves at Plainfield, Han cock and Spiritland, Wis. The seven-hour lie detector test at the crime lab was termin ated when Gein complained of a headache. He was to be returned here so extensive tests could be conducted to find out if he is sane. Wisconsin law prohibits criminal trial of the insane. However, crime lab authori ties said they want Gein to re turn to Madison for another lie detector test after the mental ex amination to clear up unsolved portions of the case. They are looking into the possibility he may have had an accomplice in the moonlight grave robbing ex peditions. They found one skull that is" not accounted for either by his admitted slayings or grave thefts. Gein, a frail-appearing bach elor who lived alone in a "house of horrors" filled with parts of female bodies, has admitted killing Mary Hogan, 54, of Ban croft, Wis., and Mrs. Bernice Worden, 58, of Plainfield, Wis.
