Television reporter finds body United Press International CORPUS CHR1ST1 — A tele vision reporter preparing a fea ture on transients found a homi cide victim’s body Thursday in an abandoned downtown house. Karen Boudrieu of KZTV told police she was looking through the front door of the house, which is frequented by transients, and spotted the body lying in a pool of blood. Police Lt. Rodney Hohle identified the victim as John McDonnell, 58, believed to be from Massachusetts. McDonnell died from a blow to the head, police said. Police searched the house and found a man in his 20s hid ing in the attic, but Hohle said “at this point there doesn’t appear to be any connection.” Attorney Allen Yafe, whose ofHffe is across the street from the vacant house, said another body was found there a year ago. The house had been used as a meeting place of Alcoholics Anonymous as recently as two years ago, Yafe said. ffiais up FRIDAY horticulture club :There is a pecan sale today a,m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Pomology Lab {across the trachj, HELLENIC STUDENT ASSOCIATION:There wiliu movie about the island paradise of Rhodes at 6 p.ra. inj Rudder Tower.

College Ma Drug charges dropped Representative cleared United Press International WASHINGTON — Six-term Rep. Charles Wilson, D-Texas, was cleared of cocaine use on Capitol Hill Thursday by the OT TH MSC NOVEMBER SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY House Ethics Committee, but he refused to answer questions ab out an allegation he used cocaine in the Cayman Islands. The House panel cleared Wilson, 50, and Rep. Donald Dellums, D-Calif., of using drugs in their official capacities but found “substantial evi dence” of drug use by three for mer congressmen and among congressional employees. But Wilson appeared sur prised when a reporter told him the report revealed that he re fused to answer a question dur ing an Oct. 3 deposition. “That must have been a ques tion my lawyer told me was out side the scope of what they were taking,” he said. “I can’t possibly answer every question that was raised.” The Justice Department said in July it found insufficient evi dence to warrant prosecution of Wilson. The House committee said Wilson refused to talk about the ' Cayman Islands charges made by Elizabeth Wickersham, a for mer model who is now an Atlan ta cable television talk show host. Wickersham told the commit tee she took a picture, which she no longer has, of him using cocaine while they were alone during a 1980 summer vacation Wilson has vigorously denied the cocaine allegations for nearly a year and has blamed them on former friend Paul Brown.
