Mental Exam Ordered For Heirens In 1945 Chicago case
Chicago charged youth William Heirens, 17, who confessed to three murders, will undergo a psychiatric examination. Judge Ward set hearings through Sept 4 with Dr. Haines for the prosecution and Dr. Hoffman for the defense to decide if a sanity hearing is needed. Heirens sought books in jail and a razor blade was found in a book during the seizure of his dormitory possessions. The grand jury indicted him for the murder of Mrs. Josephine Ross, as the case advances toward possible life imprisonment.
