Toto Tembo. a five-months-old elephant, left Indianapolis by air today, after an overnight visit here, to continue his flight half way across the continent, from New York City to St. Louis, where he is to make his home permanently. Toto Tembo. who has shown no decided aversion to air travel despite the fact that his plane was forced down once between here and New York, is hoisted into the plane (upper) just as he was hoisted onto a ship in Africa and hoisted off again in New York. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson, highly-publicized African travelers and hunters (lower), who brought him to this country and sold him to the St. Louis zoo, travel with him as does Twagnnski, a Swahili boy, who comes from the same part of Africa as does Toto Tembo. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, who say that Toto Tembo is traveling in a plane because trains would upset him. but who are suspected of having an eye cocked toward publicity for a coming book, acquired Toto Tembo when he was three weeks old. Toto Tembo. whose name, appropriately enough, means Little Elephant, was orphaned when an Englishman shot his mother in --'f-defense.

JUDGE GRILLS CITY BURGLAR ONJjAMBLING Prisoner Says He Accepted Stolen Car for Gaming Loan. Gambling conditions in Indianapolis received somewhat of an airing today in criminal court when Judge Frank P. Baker quizzed a burglary defendant at length, before pronouncing sentence. The defendant, Ray Hill, 40. of 844 North Capitol avenue, received one to ten years in the Indiana state prison on the burglary charge. Virgil Hart, 33, same address, was discharged. William Ball, same address, an alleged accomplice, is in jail on another indictment. The three men were arrested in a stolen car Sept. 8. Hill, under questioning by Judge Baker, explained possession of the stolen car by saying that be obtained it last Labor day from a man he knew as Albert Price, Detroit. Lost at Gambling Joint Price, according to Hill, lost money in a gambling joint at Ohio arid Delaware streets, and borrowed $25 from him on the car. Later, he let Price have sls mqre, Hill asserted. Judge Baker was exceedingly skeptical about this. “It's been my impression that the gambling gentry are too smart to take a car without a certification of title,” he asserted. The court then questioned Hill about alleged gambling joints in Indianapolis. Forgets Addresses, Names “Was that place at Ohio and Delaware streets run by the same people as the one which operated just a little south of there where a policeman stood out in front?” Judge Baker asked. Hill said it was. Further questioning by Judge

Baker brought from Hill the statement that he ’’forgot" addresses and operators of other places or merely knew the gamblers by their first names. Hill admitted on the stand he is a professional gambler. Sergeant Claude Kinder, the complaining police witness who arrested the trio, made copious notes in his notebook while Hill answered Judge Baker's questions.
