The complaint in the action,
which was drawn by Mrs. Thaw's
attorneys, Reed, Smith, Shaw &
BeaI, of Pittsburgh, and sent here
for filing, is brief. 1t says that
the money sued for was given to
the defendant on January last,
because she believed that he had
spoken the truth when he said he
had been Disseminated against in
his fathers VIII, and that his state
ments had succeeded in imposing
upon her trust and confidence.
The complaint reads
In violation of trust and conf
dence and in spite of her infirmi-
ties the defendant, by persistent
discussion, and by untrue and par
tally true statements, induced her
TO believe the defendant had been
unfairly Disseminated against in
his fathers will" and that the
amount he was to receive from his
fathers estate would be inadequate

On Sidewalk

Traffic Director M. o. Ed
ridge has found it necessary to

sioners as a proposed amend
ment to the traffic code.
Strange as it may seem, Mr..
Eldridge found that there have
been numerous instances Of cars
parked on the sidewalk. Perusal
of the traffic regulations re-
vealed the fact that they con-
tanned no provision which spe-
officially dealt with such a situa-

which stipulates that vehicles
must be parked within six inches

COURTHOUSE, Dayton, Tenn,
July 2I.-The Tennessee anti-ev0-
luton case with its violent con-
flict between fundamental religion
and science over the creation Of
man came to an abrupt end today
when a jury convicted John
Thomas Scopes of violating the
law prohibiting the teaching OF
evolution in the public schools.
The Washington times., 1925-07-21
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON,
international News Service.


HOUS E, DAYTON,
Tenn, July 21.-Attorneys for
John Thomas Scopes, young high
school professor, today entered an
agreement in open court to have
their client found guilty by the
jury in the anti-evolution trial.
The decision wiped out the last
vestige of the Scopes defense, be-
cause it barred all religious testi-
n1ony from the trial. With their
scientists excluded last week, the
Scopes attorneys closed their case
and the jury was called in to wind
up the trial.
Given No Hearing.
"Our defense witnesses are ex-
cluded, we are denied the right to
cross-examine the States witnesses.
said Dudley Field Malone. There
is no need Of going on, so we close
our case"
The agreement came after Pre-
siding Judge John T. Raulston bar
red all the defense's religious wit
neSses from the stand, excluded
their scientists and expunged the
testimony given yesterday by Will
liam Jennings Bryan. 1t virtually
ended the case, as opposing attor-
neys waived their summing up
speeches. The judge instructs the
jury to bring in a verdict.
In sensational effort to end
the conflict between science and re-
ligion, Judge Raulston expunged
the spectacular testimony of Viii
liam Jennings Bryan from the
record of the trial.
The court said this action was
taken because Bryan's defense of
his faith in the Bible had no bear
ing on the issues of the anti-evolu-
ton trial.
Hatred Checked.
The court made his unexpected
ruling as the result Of personal
appeal from Attorney General A.
Thomas Stewart. head of the prose-
cution, who told newspapermen
he would move to expunge the
BRYAN testimony If the judge did
table. during the proceeding, eager
to resume the stand and more
eager to examine Clarence Darrow
as was agreed upon at yesterdays
session. The judges ruling in
ferentially barred barrow from the
stand.
An exception to the order was
taken Immediately by defense coun-
sci, barrow told the court the
testimony was germane to the de-
tense contention that the Bible can
not be interpreted literally.
That brought Bryan to his feet,
holding his fan. He addressed the
court with great seriousness.
