Wisconsin graves opened verify Gein tale says official
District Attorney Earl Kleen says excavation of two Plainfield cemetery graves supports the confession that Ed Gein looted graves for body parts. Gein, held for observation at Central State Hospital, admitted killing two women and robbing nine graves, including Mrs. Bernice Worden. Authorities plan further exhumations if Wisconsin's attorney general agrees.
