Estes Investigation Links High Officials in Washington
Investigators say evidence in the Billie Sol Estes case points toward individuals "pretty darn high up" in both Kennedy and Eisenhower administrations. A related probe questions Henry Marshall's death in Texas, suggesting murder rather than suicide, as Marshall had investigated Estes cotton allotments. The case widens with congressional subcommittees and grand juries examining Estes operations as federal fraud charges and a Texas indictment proceed. The Agriculture Department will remove about 42 million bushels of government grain from Estes connected storage, affecting creditors owed claims.
