 Representative Pope styled the theory of evolution as rotten stuff" Representative McCrory. speaking before committee, said if he was de- seconded from monkey he was ashamed of it. but didn't think he was. He said he believed God creat- ed man and monkeys entirely separate and he didn't believe they had ever mixed and hoped they never would"
 Representative Covington said the only thing wrong with those two Chi cago youths, Loeb and Leopold. is that they went 10 schools and colleges where they were taught pagan philos- ophy. IT those old alienists told the truth they would tell that too" He ooih ne uluu pclleNe wagon lOan Of mud could be left in the road and by its own inherent evolutionary powers become something "all dressed up and running for the leg islature."
 Do you think il would have to oNolute far" asked Chairman Ed- CTS. Judge Co>iugton did not reply.
