Estes Indicted on 14 Counts by Grand Jury
The grand jury indicted former county commissioner Estes on fourteen counts including obtaining false pretenses and related charges. He was arrested by Sheriff McAfee within minutes after the verdict was returned. The period covered spans from November 1900 to October 1900, with the grand jury adjourned after presenting the case. Some Republicans blame factional fighting while others hope the proceedings lead to court-house reforms and greater public disclosure of county expenditures.
