Scopes Changed Man
Since Charge Filed
BY CLARK KINNAIRD
Central Press Staff Correspondent

DAYTON, Tenn, July 14.--John
Thomas Scopes is sick Of it all. He
wishes the trial was over He is tired
of the role Of martyr. Each day adds
to his discomfort. Reporters, often
called stony hearted. are beginning 10
pity him.
Sometimes Scopes must envy men
on trial for murder. When court ad-
journs they have q nice. lonely cell
to go back to, and solitude in which
to bathc their souls and nerves.
Scones is free to go where he likes.
But there is no place he can go for
peace. He waaders in the streets,
stared 1t or pursued.
His temper is short His attorneys
anpear to be veXed with him at times.
Naturally\ all this excitement has
changed him in some respects He is
accused of being 'up stage" This
is not true. In spite Of these changes,
he still is John Thomas Scopes, high
school teacher, uncomfortably play
ing a role quite beyond his histro-
mic capabilities.
Lives in Meager Quarters
He lives in the Bailey boarding
house, in Market street, two blocks
from the courthouse. He rented the
room when he came to Dayton in late
August, 1924, fresh from a university.
1t is on the second floor and its
triple-framed window looks out
through oak and naples at the court
house tower. The room contains an
iron bed, washstand and his trunk,
He keeps his clothes in closet. The
closet is in disarray There is no
table in the room. There was one.

"At this time, Captain Lans-

the maneuvering valves opened
