Sanity Hearing? Too
Murder Counts Set
I n Horror Killings
WAUTOMA, Wis., —</P)— A 51-
year-old bachelor farmer, who ad
mitted during- two days of ques
tioning at the State Crime Lab
oratory that he killed two women
and looted graves for the cadavers
of at least nine more, faces a mur
der arraingment and sanity hear
ing “as soon as possible. 5 ’
Waushara County Dist. Atty.
Eai’l Kileen said yesteirlay he
would file the murder charge
against Edward Cein today if the
crime lab’s ballistics report was
ready by then.
“I will m,ove immediately for a
isanitray hearing when he is ar-
rainged,” the prosecutor said.
This count will charge Gein with
the shooting and subsequent mu
tilation of Mrs. Bernice Worden,
58-year-old operator of a hardware
store at Plainfield, five miles from
Gein’s isolated cehtral Wisconsin
farmhouse.
A statement given newsmen at
Madison by Charlie Wilson, direc
tor of the crime lab, said that the
frail-appearing little man whose
closest acquaintance had described
him as a “nice little guy who likes
kids, but often talked about wo
men,” admitted that he killed Mrs.
Worden last Saturday.
Gein also admitted, Wilson said,
that he killed Mrs. Mary Hogan,
54-yeai'-old operator of a tavern
at Bancroft—six miles from the
horror farm—in December 1954.
The statement, issued on behalf
of five district attorneys in coun
ties which retain on their books
major unsolved disappearances,
cleared Gein of any connection
with three widely known cases.
These were:
The vanishing of pretty, 15-year-
old Evelyn Hartley from a baby
sitting job at a college professor’s
home in La Crosse in October 1953;
The abduction of Georgia Jean
Experts Voice
Varied Opinion
On US Missiles
WASHINGTON, — (JP) -
Rep. Mahon (D-Tex) charged
last night the United States
is “seriously behind” Russia
in developing an intermediate-
range ballistic missile, but a Pent
agon expert said, “I don’t believe
so.”
The disagreement was voiced
after Mahon’s House Appropria
tions subcommittee launched a sur
prise inquiry into the U.S. weapons
program and spent the day taking
testimony behind closed doors.
“We have lagged behind the
Russians in the intermediate-range
ballistic missile—IRBM—and we’ve
got to come from behind and come
abreast as soon as we can,” Mahon
told newsmen. His subcommittee
handles all the Defense Depart
ment’s money requests.
While disagreeing with Mahon’s
assessment of the IRBM situation
William Holaday, the Defense De
partment’s missile director, said
it might he true of the 5,000-mile
intercontinental ballistic missile-
ICBM.
Secretary of Defense McElroy,
one of the first witnesses sum
moned before the House group,
emerged from the hearing with
a statement that the U.S. missile
progi’am is in “good shape.”
