Estes Probe Is Failure in Pecos Tex Case
Atty. Gen Will Wilson pressed a seventh Pecos court of inquiry into Billie Sol Estes seeking links to others in the financial downfall. Nine witnesses testified as Wilson noted the Estes operations were partly funded by political influence. Foster, Estes Enterprises general manager, said Estes owned seven eighths of the firm and a brother held the remaining eighth. Investigators explored whether others financed Estes after witnesses described calls by Estes to high-level officials and politicians.
