WILL WAIT UNTIL
AFTER ELECTION

Topeka, Kansas, Oct-Presecu-
ton of an custer suit against Sher-
if Madden, or Ford county, on charge
of being derelict in his duties, was
practically abandoned today. 1t was
currently reported that Attorney
General Hopkins had been so advised
by Governor Allen although neither
official had made and direct state
ment.
An investigation started several
weeks ago by the attorney general
into he conduct of Sheriff Madden's
office was based on allegations that
the sheriff had failed to enforce
the prohibition aw. The approach
of election is believed to have caused
leaders Of both parties to seek the
dropping of the case.
