July 28. (By the Associated ' Press.) "The Tennessee rase." an-address prepared by Wliliitin Jennies Bryan in defense of the Ten nessee anti-evolution law which iho lute 'commoner was prevented from delivering at the Dayton trial because of an early termination o fthe case, was made known lo the world toduy by Mrs. Bryan. - "A sudden decision of the defense lo submit the case without argument and p permit a verdict ;of.uilty. prevented the delivery of the speech, says an In troductory nolo to Mr, Bryan's nd drosB. A-. .' - - "As it presents the Issues Involved mid the requirements of the law pro hibiting tho teaching In public schools of any hypothesis that makes man a descendant of any lower form of life. It In printed for the information of the general public." Mr. Bryan declared In the address that the case was no longer local but It hnd assumed the proportions of a battle-royal between unbelief that at tempts Jo speak through so-cnlled sicence and tho defenders of the Chris tian faith speaking through the legis lature of Tennessee. 'It Is for the Jury to determine whether this attack uuoti Christian re gion shal he permitted in the public schools of Tennessee by teachers em ' ployed by the state and paid out of tho public treasury," was a conclusion drawn. No Within Vkilnlcil AsertlnL' that "this law does not vio late any riKltts guaranteed lv any con stitution to any individual," and was not an interference with freedom of conscience, Mr. Bryan indicted ovolu 1 tlon on five brqad counts the first of which "Is that It disputes the truth of I tho lBblo account of man' erentlon i end "hakes man's faith in tho Bible as the Word of God." "This indictment we prove by coin paring the processes described in the evolutionary theory with tho text of Genesis." he said. "It not only con tradicts the Mosaic rocord as to tho beginning of human life, but it dis putes the Bible doctrine of reproduc tion according to kind the greatest scientific principle known." "Our second indictment." the ad dross said. "Is that the evolutionary hypothesis carried to Its logical con clusion disputes every vital truth of the Bible. Its tendency, natural If not Inevitable, is to lead those who really accept it first to agnosticism and then to atheism." Darwin Is lUTuU'd Hero Charles Darwin was referred to to Illustrate what was meant by this charge. - "I did -not In the least doubt the strict and literal truth of every word In the Bible."
