Verdict in the libel suit of Deputy Isaac Greenbaum against the editors of the Polish anti-Semitic papers, “Gazeta Warszaw-ska”, “Rzeczpospolita” and “Roswoj” was rendered today. The accused editors were acquitted and Deputy Greenbaum is obliged to pay the expenses of the trial, according to the decision.
This decision of the court caused great astonishment among Jewish lawyers here in view of the fact that the statements made by the anti-Semitic papers, charging Deputy Greenbaum with action against the Polish State were not substantiated in the evidence submitted, but rested entirely on the imagination of the writers and the assertions made by the anti-Semitic papers.
