Association Scholarships. Recipients from 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.

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.
