DEFENSE CASE
Malone to Do Research

During Trial; Hughes
to Be Held in Reserve
tBy The Associated pressD

NEW YORK, N. Y, June 10.-As the
result of various conferences in New
York, Clarence Darrow, Chicago criminal
lawyer and Bainbridge Colby, former
secretary Of state, have been chosen tc
assist in the defense Of John L. Scopes
Dayton, Tenn. high school teacher
charged with violating the Tennessee
law prohibiting teaching of evolution in
schools.
Darrow and Colby are expected
lose the case in spectacular fashio
at first, preparatory to the state an
United States supreme courts passinl
on the constitutionality of the law.
Dudley Field Malone, who with Da
row first volunteered his services, wa
delegated to keep the home fires burn
ing in New York. With Samuel Roscn
sohn of the legal staff of the Civ
Liberties Union, Malone will engage il
research, digging up previous trials o.
scientists as far back, it was said, a:
Calico, who got into trouble by an
noufcing that the earth moved arounr
the sun.
Malone was not chosen as one of thu
assistants to John r. Neal, former dear
of the University of Tennessee, it wai
suggested, because he was brought VI
a Roman Catholic and because he re
married after divorce. Both Of these
circumstances advisers said. might pre-
judice him with Tennessee jury.
Charles Evans Hughes, also former
secretary Of state, will be held in re
serve in event the case reaches The
United States supreme court. Mr.
Hughes had been suggested by those
who feared Darrow's defense of LeopolC
and Loeb. murderers of Bobby Franks
might provide ammunition for William
Jennings Bryan. another former secre
tary Of state, who is to assist in The
prosecution.
The choice of DarrOw and Colby wa:
unanimous yesterday after a day ot
conferences between the principals anC
committee Of Civil Liberties Union
which is financing the cause. They vii
serve without paN only at the first
trail.
Scopes today was suffering from at
tack of nerves duel to the unusua
amount Of talking he has done and the
resultant publicity.
