ANTLEVOLUT|ON
LAW HELD VALID,
BUT SCOPES WINS
Defendant in Famous Case
Gains Reversal of Con-
ViCtiOn.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Jan. 15.-
Constitutionality of the law which
prohibits teaching in public schools
of Tennessee the theory that man
descended from a lower order of ami
NAL" was upheld today in a de-
cision handed down by the State SUI
preme Court. The test case was
taken before the Supreme Court by
Johno Thomas Scopes, Dayton school
teacher, convicted for violation of the
law.
Although the law was upheld, the
verdict against Scopes was reversed
on the grounds that he was illegally
fined 500 when the maximum penal
ty fof a misdemeanor in this State Is
$50.
I'VE are not able to see how the
prohibition Of teaching the theory
that man was descended from lower
order of animals gives preference to
any religious establishment or mode
of worship" said the decision.
"All Of us agree" said Justice
Green. who read the verdict, that
nothing is to be gained by prolong-
ing this bizarre case"
Justice Mckinney, who dlssented
on the part of the decision which
upheld constitutionality of the anti
evolution law. held that the law
should be invalidated on the grounds
of uncertainty.
Justices Cook and Green held the
law to be constitutional and inter-
preted 1t to mean that the teaching
of any theory of evolution even as
a theory is prohibited.
Justice Chamless, in his opinion,
said the law was constitutional, and
that only teaching of 'materialistic"
theory of evolution is unlawful I'M
der its provisions.
