Abruptly Ends the Investigation Of
Denver Election Frauds.

Denver, Colo, Oct. 12-There will be
no official investigation of the frauds
perpetrated at the last election or the
registration preceding it. Judge
Booth Malone called a halt today in
the grand jury proceedings which had
been started in the criminal division
by excusing the jurors who had been
summoned, from further attendance
and delivering an opinion which pre-
vents further probing into the alleged
theft of the charter election. Judge
Malone not only overruled the motion
of the representatives of the league
for honest election to remove the sher-
if and the coroner from the duties of
drawing grand jury and to appoint
three others, but decided that there
shall be no investigation at all.
