Gein enters hospital
Associated Press · November 23, 1957
Fifty-one-year-old Edward Gein (right) of Plainfield, Wis., paused for a photographer to take his picture today as he entered the Central State Hospital for the Criminally Insane and a 30-day mental examination. Gein is the man who admitted slaying two women and dismembering their bodies. He also told authorities that he robbed graves. Sheriff Art Schley of Waushara County turned Gein over to the hospital authorities. Schley headed the investigation of the macabre slayings.
