Levinson, a lawyer of the same town, was found not guilty in Superior Court today. The warrant against Vause also charged profan ity, but that charge was dropped when Judge Allen decided that tho municipal ordinance under which Vause was indicted was void because it was not specific enough in the penalty feature.
