Miami, F la —The fight of William
Jennings Bryan against "unbelievers"
will be carried on through a provision
the Commoner made In his will, which
was filed for probate here.
The fundamentalist leader who died
after a strenuous defense of the Bible
on the scene of the Scopes evolution
trial at Dayton, Tenn., left 8100,000
to various institutions for promotiob
of “Christian education.”
Although Bryan was reputed to have
made vast sums in Florida real estate,
he was worth actually only 8600,000,
his will revealed. One third of this
amount goes to the widow, after which
one fourth is to be spent for Christian
education and the balance divided
among relatives and servants.
The will Is a long document written
on both sides several sheets of legs:
paper in Bryan's own hand. In spite
of his care in designating bene
ftclarles. he failed to name an execu
tor. but the probate court ordered
the widow to serve in this capacity
