icules W. J. B.
NEW YORK, June 11. (By Asso
ciated Press.) Metaphorical goats In
stead of monkeys have figured lurge
ly in the closing hours of the New
York visit of John T. Scopes, high
school teacher who goes on trial next
month at Dayton, Tenn., for violating
the stule law uguinst the teaching of
evolution.
In an address last night to sympa
thizers. Scopes told of his pleasure
over being the "goat" In a fight for
Meanwhile Dudley Field Malone,
freedom of thought.
New York lawyer -who had been dele
gated to assist by research work, an
nounced that he would not . be a
"gout";: that he would assist actively '
In the case or not at all, so he wus
accepted ns one of the active counsel.
Is Guest at Dinner
Scopes, who leaves for home to-:
day, was a guest at a dinner of the
civic club last night. He said he wus
embarrassed in addressing the distin
guished group of liberals and radicals
first because he was young and in-:
experienced, and secondly because,
while an automobile had been sent to
get Clarence Darrow, one of his coun
sel, he had to walk- to the club and
got lost.
"Being a goat is not unpleasant,"
he said. "If you aro going to be a
gout you want to tuke thought as to
whether you are to be a big goat or
a little one. I really and truly think
this is a fight for freedom of thought.
This trial is not to Judge whether 1
arn a criminal."
As side lights of his New York visit
Scopes said:
"I found New Yorkers the most
lovuble people in the country, with
the most greedy hotels and restau
rants und the most selfish people
.those reporters who wanted to mo
nopolize all my time and not even let
me see the Follies."
Theatre Puts on Skit
If Scopes did not go to the Follies,
he did find amusement at another
theater in a bkit forecasting the com
ing evolution trial. There were three
characters, William Jennings Bryan
as prosecutor. Scopes and a monkey
as a witness.
John Randolph Neal, chief counsel
for Scopes, who visited New York
with him, hns announced a revision In
associate" counsel. As now planned,
they will he Clarence Darrow, Bain-
bridge Colby, Dudley Field Malone,
Arthur Guilicld Hays, eastern man
ager of the LaFollettc campaign last
fill and Charles W. Thomas, former
senator from Colorado.
Malone was re-instated as an active
trial associate after he gave notice
that he would not do mere research
work.

LONDON, June 10.-A. P.) The
Wont minuter Gazette in an editorial
on the forthcoming evolution trial at
Dnyton. Tenn., today terms the atti

CHICAGO. Juno 11. (A. P.) Stren
uous effort by tho defense to have
JudKe Thomas J. . Lynch limit the
opening statement of Robert K.
Crowe, state's attorney, opened the
trial of William Darling Shepherd,
who faced a Jury charged with fatally
administering typhoid germs, to his
foster son, William Nelson McClln
took. When court opened 35 minutes
after the hour set, William Scott
Stewart, chief of defense counsel
sought to have tiie state's outline of
its case strlppod of any reference to
the deaths of Mrs. Emma Nelson Mc
Clintock and Dr. Oscar Olson, or
autopsies over them, hut Mr. Crowe
successfully resisted the defenBe wish
to limit him. Judge Lynch ruled that
it would be improper to object If the
stute Bought to introduce anything
not allied with the death of young
McCUntock, but allied with whut has
been charged by Judge Harry Olson
was a plot by Shepherd to obtain Mc
Clintock'B $1,000,000 estate by slaying
those who stood between him and it.
. The defendant, his wife, who sat
across the aisle from him, and nearby
spectators turned startled eyes upon
young Mr. Stewart when at one point
in his argument, he said:
"But, Judge, we do not want
the Jury to hear anything they
should not hear. Instructions
to them to remove It from their
.. minds then would-to no good. It .
would bo in their, minds like thd
blood on our hands."'
He did not elaborate on or explain
the statement and It apparently was a
misapplied figure of speech.
Miss Isabelle Pope who awaited
with a marriage license to wed young
McCUntock when he lapsed into his
lust coma, appeared In the oourt room
for the first time. She was accom
panied by her attorney, John II. S.
Lee.
After the witnesses had been ex
cluded from the court room und the
Jury recalled upon completion of the
arguments, state's Attorney Crowe
began his opening statement In a low,
conversational voice that could not be
heard a dozen feet away.
shepherds Panhandlers '
Prosecutor Crowe referred to. Shep
herd and Mrs. Shepherd as "pan
handlers," who had lived off Mrs.
McCUntock for yinrs before her mys
terious deuth and since had lived off
her estate.
Shepherd, the prosecutor described
as a man who never had eurned more
than $16 a week.
An extensive study of chemistry
was ascribed to the defendant by the
prosecutor who referred to study In
the Indianapolis, Ind., high .school, a
western drug store owned by Mrs.
Shepherd's father and In a private la
boratory hidden In a secret closet at
the McCUntock home in Kenllworth,
a North Shore suburb of Chicago.
Tho prosecutor did not have regard
f6r tho pre-statement objections of
the defense and detailed the manner
of Mrs. McClintock's death, said
Shepherd was elated when he heard
the news and remurked that he would
"come out of .It with his ' pockets
filled."
Crowe said Shepherd had drawn up
n will for Mrs. McCUntock but did not
know that shortly before she died she
had made a new will.
A Shyster Lawyer
Shepherd was referred to as
police court' hanger-on at Indlanapo
lis, where Crowe said, he practiced
without a license. r - J
The prosecutor detailed the rela
tions of the Shepherds with Mrs Md
Clintock after she obtained the $1,
000.000 estate from her husband, say
Inir the friendship between Mrs. Mc
CUntock and Mrs. Shepherd dated
back to school days in Kansas.
After the Shepherds came to Chi
cago for a visit, which lengthened to
a life time,. the prosecutor said. Shep
herd planned and schemed to obtain
the fortune.
The mind of the McCUntock boy
was poisoned ' against Alexander
Relchmann, co-guardian with Mrs.
Shepherd under . McClintock's will
said Crowe, as part of the Shepherd
plan to obtain domination over the
child and retain It until he was 81
and then force him to make a will In
Shepherd's favor, a plnn that worked
out as formulated.
"Unethicnl." was the prosecutor's
term for shepherd in having drawn
up the will of his foster son. He also
ermed It of doubtful value. ,
Crowe referred to the Intended
marriage of young McCUntock and
Miss Pope as an obstacle to the
Shepherd plan which had to be re
moved so that the Shepherd plan nf
seventeen y'-ars could atlnln fruition.
