CHICAGO. July 17. A new lease
on life for one week has been giv

for tht murder of Joseph Maurer, a
druK store clerk In a hold up.
Six hours before the time set for
the execution of the erstwhile
Canadian miner. Governor Small,
Liovtd by a mysterious message
from Detroit, granted a reprieve.
It came when all hope had been
abandoned by Scott and his wife
and aged father, who had worked
for weeks to save him.
The Detroit message signed
''Hubert Scott," confessed the kill
ing and promised surrender, urg
ing that the hanging be delayed.
It had been given to a messenger
boy on the street by a young man,
investigation developed. Scott has
maintained that Robert, his broth
er, vae the slayer.
The 30-year-old condemned man,
whose colorful career has lncfUded
vnudtvllle acting, authorship of
books on business methods and
ethics, promotion of million dollar
enterprises and finally bootlf gging,
was prepared for 4-th when news
of the reprieve came. He had
bade farewell to his father and ask
ed that the Inscription: "Murdered
by the state of Illinois" be placed
on his tombstone.
Covet nor Small's action came af
ter Scott's relatives early this
week had been unsuccessful In ef
forts to obtain a reprieve or com
mutation. Business men and friends of
Scott, who three years ago was
rated as a millionaire in Windsor,
Ont., addressed an appeal for
clemency to President Coolidge.
Several reprieves previously had
been granted while the supreme
court of Illinois passed on the case.
Maurer was shot and killed April
2, 124, In the basement of a drug
stui. Scott maintained his broth
er 1m. I fired the shots during a
quand at a drinking party, but the
prosecution contended a hold up
had been staged by the brothers.
Russell Scott, arrested the next
day, pleaded guilty to murder, but
when the court indicated a death
ennce would be Imposed, his at-lu-nev
burst Into tears and pleaded
for mercy. Through a technicality
th" pleh was withdrawn and Scott
waj'rled and sentenced by a Jury

COITRT ROOM. Dayton, Tenn.,
July 17. Judge John T. Raula
ton announred this morning that
he had decided to exclude acien
tiflo -testimony from the trial of
John T. Scopes.
The decision was regarded as
having a vital bearing on the
length of the trial. Yesterday
was devoted entirely to argument
on the question of competency o(
expert .testimony.
ihe judges decision was an
nounced at 9:61. After reading a
genoral review of the Judge's con
clusion of the Intent of the state
as passed by the legislature, the
defonse at once noted an excep
tlon to Ihe court's ruling, and the
Judge ordered it placed on record.
In presenting the defense ex
ception. Arthur O. rays declared:
"It Is denial or Justice to permit
the stnte to make the case on tta
own evidence."
"It Is contrary lo every prln-'
clple of Anglo-Saxon Judicial pro
cedure." Mr. Hays said.
The defense then announced
that It desired to place lta pro
posed testimony Into the court for
the purpose of placing It before
a higher court.
In reply to a question from
Judge Raulston, Hays said the de
fense had about six branches of
science represented by witnesses.
"I think you are entitled to
have in 4he record a sufficient
amount of your proof to show the
appellate court what your proof
would have been," said the Judge.
The defense contended, bow
ever, that It also has the right
to argue before the court that the
law was unreasonable and to put
on evidence to Inform the court.
In the absence of the Jury. If
the evidence he permitted, Mr.
Hays suggested that 4he court
would be benefitted by euch evi
dence. Should the court be convinced
that It Is In error, then he will
reverse hla opinion. Judge Rauls
ton said.
Attorney-fleneral Stewart said
that the defense wishes to con
duct a campaign of education of
theories of evolution through tho
medium of this trial.
The elate offered no objection,
he said, lo permitting the defense
to offer the substance of the tes
timony In affidavit form.
Dudley Field Malone denied
that a campaign of education waa
he)n conducted, although he said
he thought tho way In which the
defense had conducted the case It
was educational. He said that the
defence was meeting propaganda
stnrted bv "a distinguished mem-,
her of prosecution counsel."
Judge Rnulston snld he was not
inclined, after having given an
opinion, to hear testimony to
shew that the opinion was wrong.
Clarence parrow heatedly said
that if such witnesses are ptrt on
stand, It would not be proper to
cross-examine them. It would be
the purpose of such testimony be
said, to show what the defense
expected to prove.
"If the defense wishes to put
Its proof In the record In the form
of affidavits It hss that privilege
of so doing. If It puts witnesses,
