Billie Sol Estes Violates
Bond Terms; Is Jailed
DALLAS (&) — U. S. marshals
put convicted swindler Billie Sol
Estes behind jail bars for about
two hours Monday after Federal
Judge Sarah T, Hughes ordered a
$10,000 bond forfeited because he
violated its terms.
Estes was released to bis law
yer in the court room and Judge
Hughes then granted a new $10,-
000 bond with more liberal stri-
cutres than the previous one.
It allows Estes to travel freely
within Texas but specifies that he
must get the court’s permission
to leave the state. Judge Hughes
remitted $9,000 of the previous
bond to the sureties, keeping
$1,000. She gave no reason.
Estes, convicted of selling mil
lions of dollars worth of phony
fertilizer tank chattel mortgages to
lending companies, broke the
terms of the old bond each time
bp left northern Texas.
jJudge Hughes said: “This de
fendant has thought he could be
treated differently by the court.
This case will be handled just
like any other. I remand the
defendant to the custody of the
U. S. marshal.”
Judge Hughes ordered the bond
forfeited at the request of U. S.
Attorney Barefoot Sanders, who
charged that Estes had taken a
“cavalier attitude” toward the
court by traveling outside the
100-county jurisdiction of the
Northern District of Texas.
Estes, a fast-rising West Tex
as agricultural tycoon until his
arrest by the FBI March 29, 1962,
was under the $10,000 bond on an
indictment charging that he made
false statements to the Commodity
Credit Corp. He has not come
to trial on this indictment.
He has appealed state and fed
eral fraud and conspiracy convic
tions that resulted in prison sen
tences of 23 years. His appeal
bonds total over $100,000.
Estes, smartly dressed in a black
suit and white shirt and wearing
his heavy, black rimmed eye
glasses, was led from the court
room by a marshal.
He was lodged in a tiny “hold
over” cell in the federal court
house and was brought two sand
wiches and milk for lunch.
Estes had been free of physi
cal confinement since his first ar
rest at Pecos, Tex., more than two
and one-half years. agq.
His arrest and subsequent con-
ti’ons stemmed from; ibis vast grain
storage—fertilizer complex that de
frauded prominent financial houses
of more than $20 million.
Estes testified Monday that he
had traveled to Denver, El Paso,
Austin, Huoston and New Orleans
recently. All these points are out
side the northern district, he ac
knowledged, but added that he
made the trips either to gain em
ployment or to handle legal mat
ters.
The $10,000 bond signed by Estes
specifies in writing that he is
not to leave the district without
court permission. Estes said he
had never sought such permission
but had traveled with the approval
of his lawyers.
Defense attorney John D. Gof
er argued that the only grounds
for forfeiture of the bond would
be failure to appear at the court’s
direction.
Sanders said he had sent a letter
in September to Estes and his at
torney warning that he would seek
forfeiture if Estes left the dis
trict again.
Estes has lived in Abilene since
October 1963.

Man Claims
5 Murders
In 10 Years
BIG' SPRING (A*)—Officers grew
skeptical Monday of the story of
John M. Peters, 27, who asserted
he killed five persons in 10 years.
Peters told his story Saturday
to officers here. He had been in a
Big Spring jail since late in Sep
tember, charged with burglary.
Big Spring officers quoted Pe
ters as saying he beat three women
to death in a Chicago park in 1960.
Officers said he told them he beat
a woman to death in Marshall in
1955 and shot an unidentified man
to death near Ruidoso, N.M., last
June after an argument.
Illinois officers left Big Spring
Monday after questioning Peters.
They 's&id'they had no record of a
crime in Chicago as described by
the man.
Marshall officers who questioned
Peters recommended that he be
given a psychiatric examination.
New Mexico offiicals still looked
for a body in a canyon near Rui
doso where Peters said he left it.
No trace of a body has been found.
