I recently saw an airing of the secret tapes made by Billie Sol Estes, a known associate of LBJ, who made the tape to protect himself from “dying suddenly”. These tapes indicated Johnson gave the order, but not necessarily that he was the Kingpin. This piece provides plausible analysis that he was.

As I recall good old billy sol was the reason an investigator for the US Ag Dept committed suicide by multiple shots to the heart with a 22 cal pump rifle in remorse for exposing the good ol' deacon estis of fiddling ag. loans.

Henry Marshall was shot on his farm in Robertson County near Waco. As I recall it was a bolt action 22 cal rifle. And the five shots would be impossible to be self inflicted. I don't remember the Duval county grand proceedings but it was a LBJ stronghold. And Duval county is close to 300 miles from Waco.
