fined him $100, when the jury failed
to fix fine. The high court held
that only jury may fix q fine OF
more than $50 under Tennessee law.
While obviously disappointed over
the action of the court, counsel FOR
Scopes pointed to certain features as
indicating partial victory for the
opponents of the law. Expressing
satisfaction with the dissenting
opinion of Justice Mckinney, they
viewed as favorable also a part of
Justice Chambliss' opinion, whicn
differed in one phase from the ma.
jority decision.
Justice Chambliss, while agreeing
with Chief Justice Green and JUS
tice Cook as to the organic sound
ness Of the law declared his beiiet
that the act only prohibits the
teaching Of the naterialistic theory
OF evolution, which denies the hand
of God in the creation OF man.
Commenting on this opinion, Henry
Il. Cotton, attorney for the Tennes-
see Academy OF Science and an asso-
ciate in Scopes counsel, asserted that
this view was not opposed to the
known position of many recognized
Scientiests everywhere.
