Iowa Attorney General John M. Rankin announced the state will not appeal the dismissal of conspiracy cases against five former Eldora State training school officials and employees. He said further appeal would only seek a legal ruling, as the grand jury’s indictment was already rejected and the Fort Dodge district judge had dismissed the indictments for insufficient evidence.
