'B|MbA DECISION
SET FOR TUESDAY
Judge to Decide in BIasphemy
Case-Arguments Are
Completed.

| By the Associated Press.
BROCKTON, Mass, February 27-
Whether Anthony Bimba, young
Brooklyn, n. Y, editor, is guilty of
blasphemy under a statute 229 years
old and Of seditious utterances, will
be decided next Tuesday by Judge c.
Carroll King.
Arguments in the trial of Bimba
were completed today.
Harry Hoffman, Bimba's attorney,
said he was perfectly willing to ad-
NIT that his client denied the existence
of God and that he hoped the bias
phemy charge would go to higher
court, so he would have a chance to
prove the ancient statute unconstitu-
tional He vigorously denied hts
client had urged the overthrow of the
Government, which charge l. Manuel
Rubin the prosecutor, stressed in his
| case for the State.
Should Judge King decide that BIN
ba is guilty of either or both OF the
charges, the case would be heard in
the Superior Court of Plymouth Coun-
ty, probably in June.
Opposes Technical Victory.
Hoffman just before court was dis
missed declared, with a bang of his
| fist on the counsel table, that he
would rather have Bimba found guilty
| than freed on a technically of law
Judge King had pointed out that there
| had been nothing in the evidence to
show that Bimba had urged the over
| throw Of the Massachusetts State gov
eminent, which is the only govern
ment mentioned in the statute.
'I'U concede he meant the State
| government If he meant anything"
1
| freed on "a technicality, not by a Ions
shot"
Bimba's lips twitched into a smile
occasionally while he listened to
| Rubin denounce him as a man who
| had come to SOW the seeds Of hate
| among the Lithuanian shoe workers
! of BrocktOn. His unusually solemn
| face lighted up now and then as
| Hoffman declared the time Cf all
concerned in the case would be well
| spent if it brought about the reah-
| cation that the Constitution of the
| United States guaranteed free
| speech. Bimba's wife, who has been
present throughout the trial, which
started Tuesday, busily took steno-
graphic notes as the lawyers talked.
Testimony Is Attacked.
Both lawyers attacked the testi-
mony of opposing witnesses, which
was contradictory concerning the
statements Bimba was said to have
made on the night of January 20,
| when he addressed a group of Lithu-
anians in Lithuanian National Hall.
Rubin asserted that while Bimba
had not used the words force and
violence" in his speech, he never
theless had urged his listeners to
join the Communist party and that
other courts had held the use of those
words was not necessary to cause
crime.
There has been no evidence to
show what the Communist party
stands for" said Hoffman. Even if
Bimba had urged his audience to
join such a party he would have vio-
lated no statute"
