DAYTON, Term.. Juhr
1 0. A jury to try John T.
Scopes for teaching evolu
tion in the Tennessee pub
lie schools was selected this
afternoon. It was composed
of nine farmers, one school
teacher and farmer, ona
fruit grower and one ship
ping clerk.
DAYTON, T.nn., July 10 A new
Indictment, based upon the evi
dence responsible for the old docu
ment was returned against John
Thomas Scopes by a Rhea county
I (rand Jury here today. The Indict
ment chanted violation of the re
! cently enacted Tennessee law pro
hibiting the teaching of evolution
theories In the public schools.
The technicality Involved was
the question of elapsed time be
tween the summoning of the spe
cial grand jury in special session,
and the meeting of the body. Thir
ty daya should have separated tha
two. Re-lndlctment today remed
ied this defect, it was 'Bald by at
torneys. On motion of the attorney-ten-era
I, the former indictment against
Socpes waa quashed .having been
superceded by the second official
document in the case. '
The indictment alleged that
Scopes' "did unlawfully and wl! tal
ly teach in Tennessee schools, cer
tain theories that deny the story
of the divine creation of man aa
told in the Bible." It charged,
that he taught that man waa des
cended from a lower order of .ani
mals. This alleged teaching -the
accusation set forth, was "against
the peace and dignity" of the state.
Clarence Darrow, speaking for
the defense, told the court that bis,
side hsd a number of scientists It
expected to call to teatify and it
would like to get an Indication
when It might be possible to call
them as they were busy men and
it waa hoped that they would ,bo
able to testify with a minimum ot
effort "
Competence Science Questions!
Judge Raulston .inquired of the
state how long It waa like to tak.
to get a Jury and the attorney-general
suggested that it would re
quire a abort time. - . -
.Mr. Darrow said he expected It
mlsht take some time. He added
that he considered aclentlata com
petent within the case. Judge
Itaulston Indicated that he woulu
1 go into thn matter when a Jury
I was sworn.
Judge Raulston made another
sugtestlon, that the state advise
! If It was ready for the trial and
I then the statemnt would be In
order from the defense. A confer
ence of atlorneys for the prosecu
tion and defense followed.
8tags Short Skirmish.
This preliminary skirmish wss
regarded as a possible effort by
the defense to ascertain It the
state would admit the competency
of scientific testimony.
