after noting all the people impli
cated in the death were dead.
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.”

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

she said.
