DALLAS — Texas conman Billie
Sol Estes Wednesday was found
guilty on charges of fraud and tax
evasion in a scheme involving non-
existant oil field equipment clean
ers, but was declared innocent on
other charges in the complex federal
case and’the jury said it could not
make a decision on yet other
charges.
The jury, which began consider
ing evidence last Thursday, said
Estes was guilty of one count of mail
fraud but was innocent of three
other fraud counts in that indict
ment. It also ruled Estes and co
defendant James K. Horton were
guilty of tax evasion.
After reading those partial ver
dicts the jury resumed deliberation
on the remaining fraud charges, re
turning a short time later to an
nounce it would not be able to reach
a decision.
Judge Robert Hill declared a mis
trial on those charges and set sen
tencing for the fraud and tax counts
for Aug. 6.
“We are convinced we cannot
reach a verdict. Every member of
jury made honest effort to reach
verdict,” said jury foreman Ernest
Cotton. “We’ve been over every
scrap of paper in there (jury room). ”
Hill said the jury had worked long
enough on the case and dismissed it.
“I have no choice but to declare a
mistrial,” he said. “I don’t think I’ve
ever had a jury that approached a
case more seriously and more con
scientiously than this one.”
Estes, 51, remained impassive as
the trial came to an end but his two
daughters, who had testified to the
family’s poverty, cried when the
verdicts wece returned. Estes’ mar
ried daughter, Pam Teflec, fainted
in women’s room of courthouse be
fore she knew the jury had returned
deadlocked on the final charges.
There were a total of 22 charges
lodged against Estes and Horton, a
business associate. The government
claimed the two leased oil field
cleaning equipment to oil com
panies but that the cleaners did not
exist.
The jury ruled Estes and Horton
were guilty of evading $10 million
worth of taxes and that they had
used the mails to promote their
scheme.
But it was unable to reach a deci
sion on the heart of the prosecution
case — whether Estes and Hm
had bilked three leasing compn
out of $600,000 through lease* united F
nonexistent steam cleaners. L^hInC ’
