DAYTON, Tenn, July 10 A
goodly share of the crowd of Day
tonians that CROWD the Scopes trial
courtroom daily is there solely to
hear General B. G. Mckenzie
match his wits with Clarence Dar-
row.
The General" so the natives as
sert, is goin gtc "a ltsn,aht thai Oar
row fellah" before this trial is over.
Mckenzie has a Tennessee reputa-
ton like that of Marx Twain and
Chauncey Depew combined
He's chief of the prosecution
forces-with the possible exception
OF William Jennings Bryan-and
he's famous throughout the state for
his homely wit, his lazy drawl and
lis uncanny legal acumen.
The town is still chucking over
the snappy comeback that Mckenzie
unleashed when barrow arrived.
Darrw, with one thumb tucked
Enthusiastically behind suspend
er strap, leaned over and snapped
the galluses of the uncoated senior
member of the Dayton prosecution
staff.
"Well, I see you wear suspenders
down mere in Tennessee" laughed
barrow.
yeah" drawled the general,
1--WE keep our pants up heah, just
LAX they do in Chicago"
All Of his life Mckenzie has lived
in and around Dayton.
He is a picturesque figure, with
his linen coat and straw hat drawn
well over his forehead, and with a
face that is marked by many
humorous lines.
He won his Tennessee fame
through political speeches made in
many a campaign. Few villages or
cities but have heard him.
In many trials, it is, recalled, he
has swung many jury without a
single reference to the case-an arr
that helped Darrow to establish his
reputation.
