TO STAND TRIAL
AFTER 13 YEARS
WILL ESTES SAID TO HAVE CON-
FESSED TO KILLING WIFE
AND BOB AYCOCK IN 190B.
(Arkansas Gazette,
After enjoying undisturbed liberty
for over 13 years, happily married
and with a family, unsuspected by his
friends and acquaintances of being a
fugitive from justice and equally un-
suspected by his wife. William Estes
must stand trial for a double killing!
in Lonoke county committed in 190G.;
Under his assumed name of Brown,!
Estes might have continued to enjoyj
his liberty indefinitely but for a trou-j
bled conscience which he had to quiet!
by confessing.
Deputy Sheriff J. B. Jackson of'
Lonoke county arrived in Little Rock
yesterday morning in charge of Estes.1
wanted on a charge of killing his
wife and a man named Bob Aycock
in Lonoke county on May 29, 190(1.
Estes escaped to the mountains near
Harrison, Boone county, where he
changed his name to Jim Brown. He
homesteaded a farm there, married
and has two or three children by the
second marriage.
Third Killing Charged to Him.
Last July a man named Bill Jones
was killed near the Brown home and
Mrs. Brown admitted firing the bul-
let which killed him. Last week, how -:
ever, Brown or Estes, surrendered to
the Boone county authorities and con-
fessed that he had killed Jones and
that his wife was innocent. He then
admitted that his name was not
Brown but Estes and said that he had
been a fugitive from justice from Lo-
noke county for a little over 13 years,
having killed his first wife and a
man of whom he was jealous. He said
that his conscience compelled him to
make a confession and that his pres-
ent wife had never known of his
change of name nor of the Lonoke
county killings. -
Sheriff Johnson of Harrison got in-
to communication with the Lonoke
county officials and Deputy Sheriff
J. B. Jackson, who knew Estes, wast
sent to Harrison Friday. After con-
ferring with Circuit Judge Shinn and j
Prosecuting Attorney Greenwall it
was decided that the deputy sheriff
take Estes back to Lonoke county to
stand trial for the double killing. j
The Lonoke county double tragedy
occurred on the Chapline place, four
miles south of Lonoke. Estes, his'
wife and Aycock were farmhands.
Estes was jealous of Aycock and
would not allow his wife to go to
meals at the same time Aycock ate.
On the clay of the tragedy Estes had
been to dinner and returning to the
field about 2 o'clock, found Mrs.
Estes and Aycock working close to-
gether. He immediately drew a pis-
tol and shot Aycock. Mrs. Estes
started to run and Estes fired on her,
the first bullet entering the neck
and causing instant death. Estes ran,
almost before the other workers in the
field understood what had occurred.
Sheriff House organized a posse and
started in pursuit and expressed the
opinion that Estes could not remain
long at liberty. However, without
leaving the state he remained at lib-
erty more than 13 years.
Deputy Sheriff Jackson lodged
Estes in the county jail yesterday
and will take him to Lonoke this
morning.
