trial swung into its first stage to-
day.
Opened with an exhortation by
Rev Courtwright that God might

the semblance> of carnival spirit as
townsfolk and mere curious mingled
in the huge court room while new
grand jury retired for a time to

Then, when this jury of Is sturdy
Tennessee farmers, miners and mer-
chants had returned new bill, al
eging the same criminal offense
against Scopes but drafted in more
meticulous legal phraseology, the
earnestness with which all approach
ed the trial returned.
The new indictment was merely a
formality but it served to delay the
actual beginning of the legal battle.
Judge Raulston felt there might be
some doubt as to the strict legal lity
of the first indictment charging
Scopes with violating the anti-evo-
luton law of Tennessee, so he ord
cred new indictment. 1t took the
new jury but an hour to bring in the
new bill.
