Adonis, whose real name is Jo seph Doto, is under bond in New York and New Jersey on gambling charges. Committee sources said that because of this he may claim his constitutional Immunity against self-incrimination and refuse t o answer questions. Some of the other witnesses sum moned by the trime committee Salvatore Moretti, Arthur Longano snd James Lynch are also free on bond under warrants of con spiracy to violate New York and New jersey gambling laws. The New jork City warrants charge all four with conspiracy to violate the laws by keeping a gam bling place in New Jersey and per suading persons in New York to visit it. Each is free under $20,000 bond. New York, however, has agreed that they shall be tried first in New Jersey on charges of conspir acy to violate the law by operating a gambling casino at Lodi, N. J. Each is under a $15,000 bond in New Jersey. Chairman Kefauver, in announc ing today's hearing, said Adonis has a record of association with the underworld which goes back many years and "involves some of the top names in the American cal endar of crime." But he observed that Adonis never has been sentenced to prison despite a record of arrests for kid naping, -extortion and assault.

Suspect's Story Of Sex Murder Appears False DKTROIT UP) Detroit police said today a former Kalamazoo man, arrested here in connection with a burglary, has confessed the sex slaying of Carolyn Drown, 18-year-old freshman co-ed at West ern Michigan college.- But police Sgt. Lambert F. Ar nold saivl there were reasons to doubt the man's story. Sgt. Arnold said the confession was made by Robert Hunkins, 23, a former resident of the Kalama zoo area, while he was being ques tioned following his arrest for in vestigation of a hardware store break-in. Police still were trying to clear up discrepancies in the man's story. . Carolyn disappeared in a snow-' storm the night of Dec. 3 near the Western Michigan college cam-1 pus in Kalamazoo. A week later j her ravished body was fountl in a melting snowbank in , a cornfield not far from the city. , Newspaper clippings on the gill's slaying were found in Hun-' kins' possession. But officers said they were not convinced he was : telling the truth. Arnold said that Hunkins told of meeting the co-ed outside a Kal- amazoo store and offering to drive her home, He was driving a stolen car. At her refusal he forced her in to the car, and drove off. When the girl resisted his ad vances in the car, he struck her on the head with a wrench, knock ing her unconscious, and then raped her, Sgt. Arnold quoted him as saying. Arnold said Hunkins told of ty ing Carolyn's babushka around her neck and stranyling her, then leav ing her body in 8 field "by a barbed wire fence." Arnold said he had Uoubt of the account in view of discrepancies such as the fact .there was no barbed wire fence at the place where the girl's body was found. Also, he said, Hunkins named two "intersecting" streets in Kal amazoo. There is no such inter section, Arnold said.
