Alfred Josef Slawik, a former aide of Adolf Eichmann when the latter was in Budapest to direct the deportation of Hungarian Jewry to Nazi death camps, was freed today by the Vienna Provincial Court when the court dismissed charges he helped Eichmann murder a Jewish boy in Budapest during World War H.

Slawik was arrested last June after he was implicated in the crime during the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem. Eichmann, who was sentenced to death for the murder of millions of Jews, was acquitted by the Jerusalem court on the charge of murdering the boy.
