Texas Court Of Appeals Upholds Estes Conviction

AUSTIN, Tex. UPI — A Texas court of criminal appeals has upheld the conviction of Billie Sol Kstes on swindling charges and ruled he must serve eight years in the state penitentiary. The three-judge court upheld the verdict of a jury at Tyler, Tex., in a 22-page unanimous decision. Kstes, former agriculture tycoon from Pecos, Tex., was f h ;od specifically with swindling a farmer, T. J. Wilson, in a ■'!>4.G00 deal involving anhydrous ammonia fertilizer tanks. E tes. now living in Abilene, Tex., also is under a 15-year-sen-tence by a Federal Court on his conviction on fraud and conspiricy ch rges. The federal conviction is under appeal. Estes and Wilson signed a contract on March 2, 1961, involving 75 tanks of 500 gallon capacity, along with mobile mounting and npplicating equipment, and for 65 similar rigs of 200-gallon capacity. Wilson agreed to pay Estes '121,850 and made a down payment of 527,350 that left a balance owed by Wilson of $94,500 payable in monthly installments of 51,575. I'he state charged that Estes falsely represented to Wilson thit he was buving the property and it was to be security for the mortgage, in much the same manner t h a t a person buys an automobile. The state said, however, that Wilson was in fact not purchasing the property and it was not security for the debt. A state court jury took 127 minutes to convict Estes on Nov. 7. 19*12. after Prosecutor R B. McOowen warned, “If you acquit Billie Sol Estes you are doing one more thing to turn our way of life over to the crooks and hucksters.” Tho trial lasted 17 days and the sentence was two years less than the maximum. Estes, now 39, was freed In bond awaiting appeal of the de-

cision. Estes still has pending against him four more federal and state indictments containing more than 30 counts of theft swindling, mail fraud, false statements and criminal anti-trust violations.

Baby Burping Disrupts Court HOUSTON UPI —Percy Foreman, a burly defense lawyer, jarred proceedings at a pre-trial murder hearing Wednesday in di-

strict court.

He swung a 19-day-old infant into his arms with the deft handling of a mid-wife and burped it over his shoulder. District Judge Sam Davis, to whom Foreman had just said: “Judge, I’ve got to burp the baby,” sat open-mouthed, apparently too stunned to reply. Foreman was in court arguing with other attorneys whether

Mrs. Scott White, 16, should be forced to appear before the grand

jury.

The infant was Mrs. White’s, and Foreman had asked Davis to invalidate her subpoena. She was brought to the hearing on a stretcher, and fed the baby from a bottle while lawyers argued. Training Plan Hits A Snag INDIANAPOLIS UPI—A plan to provide vocational training for about 600 persons in a state-owned building in Indianapolis has run into delay.

Hatchett advised the commission that the budget committee had recommended that the matter be turned over to the Indiana Vocational College Board

for final recommendation

lawmakers on costs.

Total expense would be $357,UOO, but $240,000 would be paid by the federal government as support for vocations training of under-employed and jobless per-

sons.
