authorities Convinced figure in Slain Case - tr Three Suspects Said To Be Under Surveillance Franklin, Tex. -".- One of the hignest sources investigat ing the death of agriculture official Henry H. Marshall said today authorities are now convinced that Marshall was murdered, and that three sus pects are now under constant surveillance. The source said there is a possibility that the slaying was connected with the Billie Sol Estes case, with a motive of either revenge or silencing of a threat. The three suspects have been under surveillance since the grand jury was first called last week, the source said, and one has been questioned at length. The suspects were not Identified. "I believe Sheriff Howard Stegall also now believes that it was murder," the source said. Suicide Insisted Stegall has in the past in sisted that the verdict of sui cide was correct. Stegall, Justice of the Peace Lee Farmer, who returned the suicide verdict, and Deputy Sheriff E. P. Elliott were the first three witnesses before the grand jury today. A preliminary report by a pathologist Tuesday indicated that Marshall, 82, the Agricul ture Department official who first began checking agricul tural deals of Estes, was mur dered. Dr. Joseph Jachimczyk, the pathologist who is directing the autopsy on Marshall's body, said it appears he was shot once In the back and four times from the front. Other Injuries Manley Jones, a funeral di rector who had suspected murder instead of the official verdict of suicide when Mar shall was found dead In a field last June 3, said there was evi dence of other Injuries. "There were indications that there had been' quite a struggle," Jones said. "This had not been brought to light. There were wounds like blows from something . . . there were indications of body and facial lesions. "There is no doubt in my mind that Henry Marshall was murdered." FBI on Case Texas Rangers and the FBI, aimed with the latest report from Jachimczyk, resumed their investigation of Mar shall's death - the latest phase of the mushrooming Estes scandals. The autopsy was conducted Tuesday to help a grand jury investigating the case to "clear the air" and find any connection, if there is any, with Estes. In Washington, Sen. John McClcllan (D - Ark), chair man of the Senate investiga tions subcommittee which is now inquiring Into the Estes case, said he was "not at all surprised." Republican National Chair man William E. Miller said Ihe tentative ruling by the pathologist further empha sized the need of a thorough investigation of tile case. Nine Holes Visible "We need a thorough. Im partial and non-political In vestigation of the whole sorry mess - no matter who is hurt by it," Miller said. Stegall disagreed with Jachimczyk about Marshall being shot in the back. There were nine bullet holes plainly visible In the body. Jachimczyk said he as sumed that Marshall was shot five times and that four of the nine holes were made by bul lets that went all the way through the body and came out The bullets were never re covered. Slig;ill said Ihe shirt that Marshall wore had two holes in lis back. He said two of the bullets must have been nearly spent and did not "have enough steam left" to punch through the clolh. One of the holes is what causes the dis agreement. Stegall said threads around the hole were "pulled out" in such a way as lo indicate an exit wound. Jachimczyk said It was an entry wound. Jachimczyk said he hoped to finish his examination of Ihe body and be able to give Ihe grand jury a complete re port Thursday. Widow Relieved Mrs.' Marshall, who hired a privalp investigator because she did not believe that hrr husband had killed himself, was relieved. "I hope the truth has been found out," she said. "I want ed to know the truth from the beginning." Secretary, of Agriculture Orvllle Freeman said last week that Marshall took some of the socrels of the Estes case lo the grave with him.

As you enter the main amphitheater, the house lights dim and you experience the feeling of being in space as you view the backdrop of shimmering stars, glowing planets and twinkling galaxies. Before you, images appear and disappear, while words and music trace the exciting evolution of communications from the first earthbound, whispered word to tomorrow's communication by satellites deep in space. In the short space of five minutes, thousands of years of telephone science have flashed by. The lights are raised and you move away from the amphitheater to explore other communications displays throughout the building. You'll see how it is possible to talk over a light beam - use sun rays for electrical power - see the telephone office of the future - test phones of tomorrow - watch machines "talk" to one another at incredible rates of speed. Other exhibits portray thrilling new aspects of communications research and development. E3 A portion of the Building is devoted to colorful scenes of the Pacific Northwest. Here you will find a seating area where you can relax in an entertaining and restful atmosphere. The complete free tour has taken you about thirty minutes.
