KARB0NlCK FREED
 IN HANDBILL CASE
Judge Convinced Man Was
 Ignorant Of "Red" Attack

"On the theory that he did not know what was contained in the bills, l will suspend judgment this morning but he must realize that he must not violate the law again" Judge M. D. SaXc said in police court today, disposing of the case of Mi chaol karbonick. 40. of IT Hart ford avenue, charged with breach of the peace in distributing handbills advertising communist meeting at Ukrainian hall on Erwin place, and crticizing the police and court off cials.
 karbonick was arrested by Officer William J. Mccarthy on Sexton street Tuesday night and denied in police court the next morning that he had left handhils on doorsteps on Beaver street and vicinity. He claimed to have been handed a package Of bills by a man whose name he did not know, and he said it was his intention 10 bring them home and burn thcm.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney w. -h. liTfCllSltlu lbli llf court dI 'Hdt time that the bills, in his opinion. contained offensive matter and for that reason he charged karbonick under the breach of the peace sta tute rather than the city ordinance forbidding the pcddling of advcrtis- ing pamphlets. It was hoped that the poli>> might be able to learn the identity of those responsible for the printing of the bills, but they were unable to do so. The meeting was held Thursday night and police were in the hall but took no action against the speakers.
 Attorney Albert A. Grocnbcrg, who appeared for Karbonick today, said he believed the latter did not know | the nature of the subject matter in l the handbills, in fact. he doubted ! that he could read them. He was ar rested because of the attitude of the police towards handbill distributors : during the past few weeks, but there
 was absolutely no breach of the peace proven. tbc attorney said Prosecuting Attorney Woods made ! no comment. and Judge SaNc ob- served that karbonick had good record and he was willing to give | him another chance in view ot all l the circumstances.
