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.
