Krutilek was one of four men connected with Estes who died during the investigation and whose deaths were ruled suicide, the Dallas Times Herald reported Wednesday. Estes, at one time called Texas’ most famous young “wonder boy” businessman, was convicted in 1965 in U.S. District Court. Testimony in the trial, which took place in El Paso, showed a widespread scheme in which non-existent anhydrous ammonia fertilizer was sold to farmers and ranchers through out Texas. When asked by the Robert son County grand jury if there was any connection between the deaths of Krutilek and Marshall, Estes reportedly told the panel, “I wouldn’t tell you nothing that would send me to the penitenti ary or the electric chair.” A hose was found leading from the tailpipe to the window of the car in which Krutilek’s body was found, the newspaper said. However, an autopsy showed no trace of carbon monoxide in Krutilek’s body. The official cause of the death was listed as “severe coronary heart disease.” Marjorie Krutilek, who lives in El Paso, said her husband was in good spirits and perfect health at the time of his death and that her husband’s doctor was unaware of any heart trouble. Two days before his death, Mrs. Krutilek sai husband told the FBI of his relationship with Estes, which she described as “a client relationship on the up- and-up.” She said her husband was in good spirits and perfect health at the time of his death and that her husband’s doctor was una ware of any heart trouble. “I would never believe George committed suicide,” she said. “But I had nothing to go on except my knowledge of him and his personality.” Mrs. Krutilek said she has never had any reason to doubt the death certificate she re ceived, listing heart disease as the cause of death. “I really don’t know what to think, but I had no reason to doubt the certificate,” she said. “After all, they did an autopsy and I presume the pathologist knew what he was doing.” Mrs. Krutilek said the possi bility of foul play “never entered The Battalion SPREADING THE NEWS THE UNDERGROUND ^ Sblsa Basement Potato Chips Special Friday 3/23/84 — Thursday 3/29/84 All Varieties 890 RegularPrice $1.38 OFFER GOOD TO THE LAST CHIP “The Best Food.

There was no reason to think that. He had no ene mies, and his dealings with Mr. Estes or anyone else weren’t the kind that would make anyone want to hurt him.” She said her husband’s accountant business was largely with farmers and ranchers, causing him to spend much of his time in West Texas. “He had many clients in Pecos, and Mr. Estes had a farm there, and my husband did some accounting work for the farm,”- she said. Mrs. Krutilek said the El Paso County Sheriffs Department contacted her Tuesday and an investigator is due to interview her “sometime later this week.” She said at the time of her hus band’s death she was not sure if any sheriffs personnel came to see her because she was in a state. of shock and her memory was hazy.
