after two Ineffectual attempts were
mnde to rescue him in which two
other men were overcome. Though
the third attempt was successful and

made to resuscltato the man, they
proved unavailing.

first effort to bring ou Reddekopp,

: the witness stand concerning the Chl
..tcago lawyer's religious views,' William
:: Jennings Brj"an administered the c
aminatlon through the medium of a
- statement. Nino questions were pro
uounded and these were answered
shortly afterward by the Scopes de
; fenso attorney. ' -
. :f 'Mr. Bryan's questions were precod.
t ed :by the following statement:.-
V "In accepting the invitation of "the
-'ft defense to testify, I did so on conui
tlon that I might question the nttor-
r neys on the other side in tho same ,
way.1 ' ... I
"When the court reached the con-
elusion that, such .testimony was In- J
competent and expunged it from the
' j record, I was precluded from asl ing
questions which I had preparod. i
--"The questions are as follows: ' 1
Mr. Bryanr-Po.you belleyft-Jn the
'. existence of God, as described in the
. iplble?
i "Mr. Darrow I donot know of iny
' is description of God in the Bible. We
f are Informed, in the first part of the
' Bible, howeevr, that God is a spirit.
' If Mr, Bryan will describe what ho
' - means by God, I probably could tell
: better whether or not I believe in
i God- Mr. Bryan said.' In effect, that
'- God Is like a man and is fashioned in
' the image of man. I do not believe In
-' this kind of a God. As to the origin
'J. of the universe or who or what is
. :' back of It, I do not pretend to know. '
V "Mr. Bryan Do you- believe that
' tho Bible is the revealed will of Ood,
Inspired and trustworthy?
m "Mr.' Darrow I think that there
Is much that Is of value in tho Bible.
I I jo not believe it was written or
Inspired by God. I believe it should
j bo taken likeevery otherklnd of, book,
' and that the portions that are sublime
i are like such portions of any great
book as much inspired as, say, 'In
a His .Image.' .
; -"Mr. Bryan. Do you believe In the
' supernatural Christ, foretold In the
Old TcBtament and revealed In the
'. New Teseament ?
"Mr. Darrow I do not believe that
i. any supernatural Christ was foretold
4n the Old Testament or revealed In
Vl i New Testament. I believe that
! tho Christ prophesied in the Old Tcs
v lament was ot great- Jew who should
' deliver his people from their physical
bondage and nothing else.
"Mr. Bryan Do you Relieve In the
W miracles recorded in the Old and New
ft Testaments? If you believe in some
hut not all of them, please name a
' few of those which you accept and
, those you reject with the reasons for
"i the same. Do you believe that Christ
was conceived of the Holy Ghost
" anl born of the virgin Mary, as re
4 corded in Matthew and Luke? Do
tf you believe that Christ rose from the
t dead as described In the four gospels?
"Mr. Darrow I do not believe In
i" miracles. I believe the universe acts
1 and has always acted In accordance
:: with an immutable law, and that
whatever may be back of tho universe
has never violated these laws.
"Mr. Bryan Do you believe In the
' t Immortality of the soul? '
"Mr. Darrow I have been search
' Ing; for proof of this all- my life, with
, the same desire to find it that is
Incident to every living thing, and I
" i! have never found any evidence on the
subjeot. ''
. W "Mr. Bryan If you believe In evo
lution, at what point in man's desoont
r 'from the brute is he endowed wlt.1
f hope and promise of a life beyond the
;. grave?
,v "Mr. Darrow I have no knowledge
on the question of when man first be
- lreved In life beyond tho grave. I am
. ndt at all sure whether many other
V animals have not the same hope of a
future life that man has. The origin
" of this belief may have arisen In vivid
J dreams concerning the return of the
1 dead, or, for all I know, from actual
' evidence of the return of the dead,
j! ' "I have never tried to Impose my
Reviews on religion on any' human be-'.-.
Ing- I have a right' to my own views.
. and I try as hard to protect the right
i o every other man to his views as I
? da to protect my own."
