COl'UT BOOM; DAYTON, Tenn.
(By tho Associated Press) The
state made a formal motion nt the
Scopes evolution trial today to ex-
elude the testimony of experts on
the subject of evolution und Its
relation to the Bible. '
William Jennings Bryan, ' Jh,
opened the argument for tho stute
lie wus, followed by Arthur Hays
f(jr the defense, with Attorney
Gtenernl white closing tho argu
ment. During his son's speech
William Jennings.-. Bryan, listened
Intently to every word. Young
Bryan churucterlzed expert .testi

the "weakest." most, cupuble of
ubus und most dangerous."

testimony of Dr. Maynnrd M. Mct
ir. "test witness." Is still absent
today. Metealf, u zoologist, yestir
dny gave testimony to show the na
ture of the evidence tho defense
would Insist upon.
Young Bryun sutd thut Clnrenee
Durrow had declared during the
Loeb-Leopold cuse that experts
were "purveyors of perjury." Brynn
contended tho only hwue for the
buy to decide upon was whuthor
Scopes violated tho law. "To per
mit testimony by experts would be
to substltutn a trlul by exports for
u trial by Jury," he said.
Counsel responding for tho de

ted Scopes taught what tho stnto
said he tuught. "Not thut ho vlo
