Beards, Other Signs, Show
Bryan Set For Centennial
Beards have been ci’opping up
in Bryan, along with ideas for long
dresses and the works as local
residents obey preclamations from
Mayor John R. Naylor to get
ready for the June 23-30 Hood’s
Brigade Centennial.
Sheriff J. W. Hamilton will head
the 3,000-5,000 members of the
“Brothers of the Brush” who are
to be organized into groups of 15-
25. Members of each chapter will
grow mustaches, sideburns, goa
tees or full beards and wear offi-
cal derbies, top hats and other old
fashioned appai'el.
Area women will establish the
“Centennial Belles” on April 17.
The “Belles’ 1- will wear traditional
frontier costumes of bonnets, long
dresses and parasols. They will
sell souvenirs, circulate wooden
nickels and sell cosmetic permits
which will legally enable local
women to wear makeup.
One evening each week the “Bell
es’’ and “brothers” will sponsor
promenades through area shop
ping centers. Small German bands
will play for these occasions and
“Keystone Kops” will also be on
the scene.
Another pre-centennial activity
scheduled for the month of April
is the re-enactment of the histor
ical ride from Bonneville to Milli-
can by Company “I” of the 21st
Texas Cavalry Regiment, the only
Civil War unit to be organized
from Brazos County.
Over 90 riders are expected to
travel the same route that the
Company “I” troopers took in
April 1862.
Estes Cohort’s
Death Proved
Not Poisoning
EL PASO, Tex. (A 3 )—A coroner
said Thursday night that an ac
countant who handled some ac
counts for farmers involved in the
Billie Sol Estes case was not killed
by carbon monoxide as first be
lieved.
S. Roberts, a rancher, found the
body of George Krutilek, 49, an
El Paso certified public accountant,
in an automobile Wednesday night
near Clint, Tex., southeast of El
Paso.
A hose led from the exhaust
pipe into the car, and authorities
killed himself with carbon mon
oxide.
But Dr. Frederick Bornstein, El
Paso County pathologist, said
Thursday night that Krutilek “cer
tainly did not dit from carbon
monoxide poisoning.”
Bornstein said the badly decom
posed body was in such a shape
that it would be difficult to as
certain quickly just how the ac
countant died.
The El Paso Times said it had
learned “beyond a doubt” that
Krutilek was questioned by agents
of the Federal Bureau of Investi
gation on Monday, the last time
anybody saw Krutilek alive. Mrs.
Krutilek, the dead man’s wife, said
she talked to him by telephone
Monday but did not know where
he called from.
The Houston Chronicle earlier
said Krutilek had been questioned
in the Estes case, but a govern
ment source, who asked not to be
identified, said he was not aware
that the man had been questioned.
Estes, troubled West Texas agri
culture financier, was indicted on
eight counts Thursday by a federal
grand jury meeting here.
