1%-Year-Old Case Believed Closed

By ROBERT BLOEM Four top officers of the Staté Police Department were free to-| day, of conspiracy charges that have been held over them for| “DoTE thaR “a yeur. Special Judge Frank B. Russell quashed both counts of an indictment against the officers in| Montgomery County Circuit Court at Crawfordsville late yesterday. Although a new indictment was| Jeganty possible, it was generally! believed the action ended what turned out to be one of the BIATK:] est and most complicated episodes in state police history.
