LAS VEGAS, New, Hank Greenspun, Brooklyn-born pub fisher with a touch of western maverick in his editorial makeup, was free of a federal charge of mailing matter tending to incite the murder of Sen. Joseph Me Carthy R-Wis).
 A jury of six men and six wo- men acquitted the 45-year-old publisher and columnist of the Las Vegas Sun Monday after 2 hours 45 minutes deliberation.
 The jury foreman said there was never any doubt in our minds" that Greenspun's fiery column posed no threat to Nc Carthy's life The jurors, however, had to wade through long list of technical instructions.
 Greenspun, stormy petrel of Nevada journalism, hailed the verdict as an affirmation of free dom of the press.
