Mother Thanks
Papers for Facts
In Murder of Girls
CHICAGO W)—A broken-heart
ed mother expressed thanks to
newspapers yesterday for their
relentless digging for facts to
support her claim her dead girls
were good—not drinkers on
Skid Row.
Mrs. Loretta Grimes, who from
the first defended her daughters’
honor against the statements of a
Skid Row vagrant who can nei
ther read nor write, wrote to the
Chicago Sun-Times, thanking “all
the papers who helped to clear
my daughters good names.”
Edward Lee Bedwell, known as
“Bennie the Dishwasher,” along
the strip of honky tonks of West
Madison St., on Sunday gave
authorities a statement that he
and a friend had dumped the
bodies of the Grimes girls, aged
13 and 15, into a road after living
with them in seamy hotels.
Mrs. Crimes challenged Bed
well’s confession as a pack of lies.
Yesterday, Bedwell himself re
pudiated it. He testified one of
the sheriff’s officials “beat and
kicked me.”
Sheriff Joseph Lohman denied
Bedwell was beaten and said
Bedwell lied on the witness
stand. He said he still considers
Bedwell the prime suspect in the
case “even more so now than
when we first took his confes
sion.” He did not elaborate.
