Enron's Baxter Didn't Mention Company in Suicide Note to Wife By Margot Habiby Sugar Land, April 11 (Bloomberg) -- Enron Corp. former Vice Chairman J. Clifford Baxter apologized to his wife in a note that didn't mention Enron before he committed suicide in January. Sugar Land, Texas, police today released Baxter's suicide note after the Texas Attorney General's office determined it should be made public. In the handwritten note, addressed to his wife, Carol, Baxter said, ``I have always tried to do the right thing but where there was once great pride now it's gone.'' ``I just can't be any good to you or myself,'' he wrote. ``The pain is overwhelming. Please try to forgive me.'' Baxter, 43, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Jan. 25 in Sugar Land, a Houston-area suburb. Police there declined to reveal the contents of the note until the attorney general ruled. Baxter resigned in May after a decade with Enron. The company is the subject of numerous shareholder lawsuits, as well as congressional and criminal investigations, after a December bankruptcy filing that was the largest in corporate history. Baxter was Enron's vice chairman before leaving the company, and his estate is included in a suit filed by former Enron workers. Enron spokesman Eric Thode said the company wouldn't comment on the note. ads.bloomberg.com@Position1"><IMG

The police never looked over Baxter's car for finger prints!!! Perhaps, Enron was a big contributor to the Police Department and the Police Department's charities.

Hi Chris, This "suicide" has a lot of the hallmarks of assasination and coverup. Not at all unusual in Texas. It reminds me a lot of the Henry Marshall assassination in the early 1960's. ennuimagazine.com oaoa.com Baxter knew too much, and was entirely too honest to be trusted in the upcoming Enron investigations. Someone concluded he was a loose cannon that needed to be silenced. ********************************************************** The Marshall murder was mentioned on C-SPAN last Sunday by Rober Caro, who was discussing his multiple books on the life of LBJ. Caro has not quite gotten to the 1960's in his work, but he was familiar with the allegations that LBJ was involved in the murder of Marshall. And he was not in anyway denying the possibility. Texas is a most interesting state. Remember the Alamo, forget the rest....... -Ray
