Racketeer Adonis
Given 2 to 3 Years,
And Fined $15,000
HACKENSACK, N. J. </P)—Big
shot racketeer Joe Adonis was sen
tenced to two to three years in
state prison and fined $15,000 yes
terday for violating New Jersey
gambling laws.
It was the first jail sentence
ever imposed on the 49-year-old
Adonis, who was named by the
Senate Crime committee as one
of the nation’s most notorious
gamblers.
Superior Court Judge J. Wallace
Leyden, who imposed sentence,
also suspended an additional five
year prison term.
Receiving similar sentences were
four New Jersey associates of the
dapper, Brooklyn - bom under
world figure, Salvatore (Solly
More) Moretti, 46, of Demarest;
James Piggy Lynch, 46, of Pali
sades Park; Arthur Longano, 46,
of Englewood, and Anthony Guar
ini, 58, of Hasbrouck Heights.
All five were accused of operat
ing a plush $1,000,000 north Jersey
dice gambling parlor.
They each faced a possible sen
tence of 18 years in prison and
$18,000 fine.
Adonis, whose real name is
Joseph Doto, and his four lieu
tenants elected to plead no de
fense to four gambling conspir
acy charges last Monday rather
than face the publicity of a trial.
“Joe Adonis is the victim of the
most vicious, rotten presecution
that ever existed,” his attorney
told the court.
Theer are business offices de
voted exclusively to the business
of promoting and managing con
tests.
Arkansas Janitor Refuses
Fly Flag on Memorial Day
LITTLE ROCK, (#•)—The Am
erican flag on Little Rock’s city
'hall flew only briefly Wednesday
—a day set aside to honor war
dead — because of a custodian’s
scruples.
Police Sgt. N. J. Talbert noticed
the flag wasn’t flying. He asked
custodian John H. Kimball why
and said that Kimball replied
only that he didn’t intend to put
up the flag.
Finally Mayor Sam Wassell,
who’d been busy at a Memorial
I Day service, was reached.
He telephoned Kimball. Kim
ball, Wassell said, told him he had
refused to raise the flag because
he didn’t believe in glorifying
#
war.
The flag went up, but Kimball
didn’t raise it.
It flew for about an hour be
fore it was lowered again at sun
down.
LOS ANGELES, (/P) — Actor
Sonny Tufts, whose wife sued
him Tuesday charging that he
drank too much, was booked at
dawn Thursday as a drunk.
Jailed with him was Luukiana
Kaelo'a, 28-year-old Hawaiian act
ress, who complained:
“I paid the bill and now I’m
in jail.”
Officer A. D. Hedrick said
Tufts, 41, was picked up outside
an all-night cafe, arguing with
the owner over a $5 bill.
Mrs. Barbara Tufts, suing for
separate maintenance, alleged that
for more than a year Sonny has
been “addicted to excessive use
of alcohol” and has been dis
sipating their funds. They have
been married 13 years.
