Handcuffed Edward L. (Bennie) Bedwell, 20, a suspect in the slaying of teenage sisters, Barbara, 15, and Patricia Grimes, 13, on a lonely road near a Chicago suburb last month, talks with Sheriff Joseph Lohman, holding a 14-page "confession" signed by the youth. Bedwell today took Chicago and Cook County police on a re-enactment of the last hours of the sisters before their nude bodies were dumped into a culvert. Another man, identified only as "Frank" by Bedwell is being sought in connection with the double crime.
