Estes Proposes Liquidation Plan in Federal Court
Estes outlines a plan to operate his properties for profit to liquidate debts. He asks excess profits go to a 4-H farm youth trust while exempting his Pecos home car tractor and tools. Court reports show income of 148584.55 and expenses of 113177.78. grain rental contracts could offset the deficit. The case involves indictments for fertilizer fraud, with a grand jury ordered reconvening next week. The attorney general seeks to name Estes in an antitrust suit, and a stay order blocks further prosecutions without court authorization.
