DAYTON, Tenn.,-July 10. (A. P.)
new indictment, based uuon the .
evidence responsible for the old docu-1
ment, was returned against John !
Thomas Scopes by a Rhea county
graflll Jury here today. The indict-
ment charged violation of the recently
enacted Tennessee law prohibiting the:
r-teachlng of evolution theories In the
'public schools.. The, technicality in-
voivca was toe question of elapsed
time between the summoning of the
pedal grand jury In special session
and the meeting of the body. Thirty
uays snould nave separated the two.
Ro-indictment today remedied this
defect, it was said hv attorneva.
On motitfh of the attorney-general
the former indictment against Scones
was quasnea, naving Deen superseded
by the second official document fn the
case. i.
Mr. Bryan, returning to the -courtroom,
was shown a caricature repre
senting him as an ape. - He laughed
heartily and exclaimed:
"That's a work ot art." .
Judge Raulston was shown the
picture and called to Bryan:
"Colonel, they certainly have you."
Bryan inquired if the aftlst had not
similarly portrayed Darrow. The
cartoon was passed from hand to hand
around the counsel tables and aroused
general merriment. Mr. Bryan salt he
dlernot regard It as "a pei-rect like
ness." While attorneys for both Sides were
