ETHEL BALDWIN, WIFE OF M.A. BALDWIN married Jan. 23,1924, McLennan
County, TX (see attached) (ADD PDF OF MARRIAGE CERT)
The readers should be reminded that Bob Denison had no money. John had
control of all the estate monies. The act John Denison committed when he
caused Bob’s Aspermont house to be foreclosed on set into motion ruined
credit for Bob. Less than $3000 was owed on a property that Ida Denison
had been making the payments on for 20 years. She used the house for tax
purposes as a rental. It was a deliberate act by John Denison to ruin
Bob's credit. The State of Texas was experiencing their 2nd real estate
recession, properties were being foreclosed on. But the Aspermont house
should never have been subjected to that. Bob's profession as Realtor
came to a halt. He had lost his home in '97 in a divorce. Fortunately he
became close with me as fellow Realtors. We were friends. When he lost
his home to his ex-wife, Bob moved into a rural motel in Stamford, TX so
that he could be closer to his parents in Old Glory.
By May '97 Billy Wayne Denison, Bob's step father died during day
surgery for repair on his vocal cords that had been damaged when he
choked on some food at a local restaurant. Billy Wayne could barely
speak above a whisper. Billy Wayne was 68 years old.
Strong evidence proved that Ida Denison was addicted to prescription
drugs and was under psychiatric care. She had not driven for 15 years
prior 1997. Billy Wayne and she had doctors scattered around that would
prescribe prescription drugs for her. After Billy Wayne died John
Denison immediately took it upon himself to become her caretaker,
managed to get her will that was identical to Billy Wayne's in which Bob
and John were named Co-executors changed to John Denison as the executor
and Bob's half put in trust to be managed by John Denison.
Because Billy Wayne ran the ranch so poorly it was hard for Bob to stand
by and watch him refuse to sell very, very old cattle. Bob told how many
of the older cows were toothless. They were unable to eat well and would
keel over and die. Bob finally managed to convince Billy Wayne to
purchase some new seed cattle in 1996 and he put Billy Wayne in touch
with a gentleman that had some cattle to sell. Bob was close to getting
his degree in Agriculture and had completed a year long course in Ranch
Management at Texas Christian University, his mother’s and grandfather’s
alma mater. See attached
It was this herd that John Denison secreted away, kept concealed from
the bank and kept for himself.
In order to justify John's treatment of Bob and to explain how he
managed to get the will changed, John began to tell people in the
community that Bob had killed their parents. It was a method that John
and Castro used repeatedly over the years. They had Sheriff Mullen
attend all the hearings as an 'officer on duty'. When John sold the
ranch at auction (wink wink) to Boone Pickens unbeknownst to Bob who was
not present at the sale, because he didn't KNOW about the sale, John had
security guards present. All done as a ruse to create the illusion Bob
was violent. Nothing could have been further from the truth. Castro knew
it, John knew it, Bobby McGough knew it and Sheriff Bill Mullen knew it,
but together they wove a tale of deception, all in the name of greed.
Billy Wayne was Bob's step father. Bob 'came with the package' when
Billy Wayne married Ida. Billy Wayne often bragged, "You can marry more
in five minutes than you can earn in a life time" Billy Wayne resented
Bob's relationship with Ida's father 'M.A. Fuzz Baldwin' the man who had
made the ranch what it was. A man who was well respected in the
community and was in the Sports Hall of Fame at TCU. Bob was groomed
from birth by both Fuzz and his wife Ethel Baldwin to be a cattleman.
John was Billy Wayne’s son, Bob was Fuzz Baldwin's grandson. Bob and
Fuzz were very close and Billy Wayne and John Denison both resented this
relationship. Billy Wayne met with Isaac Castro to set into motion the
making of Bob Denison as a trustee and not as a co executor. This is my
opinion, Jackie Keenan
When Ida passed away, Johnny immediately replaced the ranch's attorney
Charles Brownfield with Isaac Castro and they were off and running. |
