pursued In the til ill. ' .
The narrow pui'pose," of the Tie
fenscfwill be Jo nrotj Srtfp'os Innocent
of any violation otthe Tenneusee antl
etfolulioif teaching HtAt ut."
I Air, Malone started npvaklng Immo
diftteljf after the attprney general hud
addrHeO the.courffp'r but a moment.
The attorney general .aahi that the
state simply would contend that the
defendant waa guUty of violating the
Tennessee . statute prohibiting the
teaching of evlution in the. public
schools of the ijlato. .V
Mr. ; Malone, marina: the opening
statement of the defenHe, ppencd hi?
remarks with the declaration that
' "the dfena believes that. 'God la a
Spirit and thiat they that worship. Him
irVast' worahip Him In spirit And .in
truth.'." .
The defendant, John; T. Scopes,
has been indicted for ' the . alleged
violation of an act gamed by the, .Ten
rieka -tegiatatnre which prohlblts'the
teaching of the evolution. theory in all
'the, universities, normal vhooU and
public schools of Tennessee, "which
hiay be supported in whole or .ft part
0 the pubHc funds of the state,'1 he
bUid. r . f . ' . -. . ,
Malone tHtn read -the -first 'section
of the act making it "unlawful to
teach -in state schools "any theory'
that denies .the story of divine crea
tion of man as taught in the Bible,
and to teach instead 'that man 'de
scended from-a lower ordejr of ani
mals.' After reading the second section
providing a penalty f not less than
$100 nor more' than fS00 for each
violation of the act, he declared .thai
before the nrosccutlon court convict
Scopes of a violation of the act, the
prosecution .must prove .first- th'at
Scopes taught a theory that 'denies the
story of the' Divine creation of man as
taught in tb'e -Bible, .and second, "that
Instead, and In the place of -this
theory, he taught that man is de
scended from a lower order of ani-
; mals." .
"The defon.se contcmls that o cqn-,
vlct Scones the prosecution must'
eory gf evolution, but t-hat he also
id at the same-time, denied . the
theory of -creation' as set .forth in the
Bible," he asserted,
"The defense contends the prosecu
tion" must prove that he defendant,1
Scopes did these two things and that'
.what he' taught was a violation of the
' statute. .
"We will prove that whether this
statute is constitutional or unconstitu
tional, the defendant Scopes did not
and could not violate it. We maintain
that since- the defendant Scopes- has
been Indicted under a statute which
prohlbks the teaching Jf evolutionary
theory, the prosecution must prove
as part of its case what evolution is.
"So that there shait be no mis
understanding and that no one shall
be able to mis-interpret or mis-reprc-Sent
our position, we wfsh to state at
the beginning of this case that the de
fense believes there Is a direct Con
. fllct between the theory ot evolution
and the theory of creation as set forth,
in the Book of Genesis." 1 -
