DAYTON. Tenn, July lS.-Thc
~ amazing Scopes trial is all over
but the shouting, and that will be
done by the lawyers. 10 the jury, who
will have to determine the law and
the facts from the shouting. espc.
cially that of Mr.. Bryan.
what lie says in this vicinity is
both tho law and the gospel. He
conducted campaign against evolu-
ton by speeches In churches and pub
lie places for nearly a week before
the trial started.
What the jurymen learned about
evolution they got from Bryan be.
fore they became jurors. Except for
the few moments II took for the
prosecution to introduce its evidence,
tho jurymen were absent from the
courtroom thru the eight days of
trial.
BY the courts orders they could
not listen TO the loud speakers in
the courthouse square or attend any
meetings Anybody else in the coun-
try might attend court and learn
something about evolution from at.
torneys for the defense.
But the jurymen who must pass
upon the law and the facts and de-
termine whether evolution is in
conflict with the Bible were legally
bound 10 remain deaf, dumb and
blind.
Mr., Bryan has absolutely domi-
mated the situation. The moment
the defense undertook TO prove what
evolution is, he took personal
charge and directed the bitter fight
of the attorney general to keep out
the evidence OF noted scientists, edu-
Gators and clergymen, who see no
conflict between science and the

Evolution Trial Is All
Over but the Shouting
And Bryan, With His "Silver" Tongue,
Holds Dayton Under a Spell

One Of the purposes OF keeping
out the testimony Of experts was to
shut off attorneys Cor the defense
from even arguing about evolution
to the jury.
Boldly announcing. days before
the opening OF the trial, that this
was 10 be duel to the death be-
tween science and religion. and
that the monster of evolution WAS
TO be dragged out into the open so
II could no longer work its devilish
purposes in the dark. Mr.. Bryan
proceeded TO lock evolution intolli-
gence and learning in a technical
hoosegow and the jury was parked
out of sight and hearing.
The nature of the case, from the
beginning, has been pointed out in
this correspondence. The attitude
of the defence was indicated by
Darrow's remarks TO the court in
Fridays proceedings. 1t was also
shown in Malone's refusal TO be
photographed with Bryan and Judge
Raulston. when Malone told Raul
ston he and barrow were thru
with pictures, and Raulston could
go have his picture taken with
Bryan and the prosecution.
That's that. But the people OF
this country may as we'll under.
stand that this is the beginning OF
long fundamentals fight, led by
Bryan. which will move on to
other states.
Dayton will stand in history only
as the spot where bitter fight
against science, learning. knowledge
and liberty was started II is no
monkey.comedy. 1t is a solemn and
dangerous tragedy. The scientists
