BY WILLIAM J. LOSH
UNITED Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

DAYTON. Tenn, July Is. A
quaint Old Tennessee county lawyer,
with his glasses on the end of his
nose, touched off some verbal fire
works at the resumption of the
Scopes trial today.
Dudley Field Malone of New
York, one of the defense attorneys,
leaped to his feet in angry protest
when General Ben Mckenzie, To-
cal character, who is assisting the
prosecution, referred dryly to the
apparent inability of "these here
New York lawyers to understand
the anti-evolution law of Tennessee,
Which is so simple Is year old
Rhea county school boy gets it."
Malone Indignantly demanded
defense against contemptuous re-
ferences to himself and his col
leagues and Judge John 7. Raulston
smoothed things over by apologize
ing and saving perhaps the "for-
eign'' counsel didn' understand
General Mckenzie as well as the
home folks did.
The outburst came during an ar
gumcnt over Il motion by the de-
fense to dismiss the Indictment
against John T. Scopes. Attorneys
Neal and Hays spoke for the de-
Tense.
The latter stirred up a hornet s
nest by humorouslv introducing am
indictment, couched in the terms of
that. drawn against Scopes. citing a
law which forbade anyone, under
penalty of death, from teaching any
rheoty except that which held that
the earth was the center of the
universe and that the sun moved
around it from east to west.
