BALL PARK URGED FAR SCOPES' TRIAL Seek Large Place to Seat Visitors Expected for Evolution Case. B7 the Assocated Press DAYTON Tenn. A Rhea County grand jury, 9 of whose 13 members were farmers, took one hour to decide that John T. Scopes, high school science teacher, should be' in- cted for vielation of the Tennessee law against teaching evolution in the public_schools With the preliminaries of the famous case out of the way and a spe- clal term of the Circuit Court ordered to convene July 10 to try Scopes, in- terest here now centers the ques- tion of where the trial will be held. A large place is sought to accommodate the expected influx of visitors. Suggest Ball Park. Suggestiony to the committee in charge have ranged from erecting a huge tent to placing a roof over the base ball park, with some holding to a plan to crowd every available inch of the county courthouse with seats. The coufthouse can be made to seat approximately 1,000, it was stated. Judge John T. Baulston, who will preside, has expressed & willingness to convene the court “in any dignified place made available by Dayton citi- zens.” * Committees have been ap: pointed to raise funds to conduct the case and to prepare the city for its expected host of visitors. William Jennings Bryan, who will aid in the prosecution of the case, wired from Columbus, Ohis date set for the trial was to him. A change in the pros Mne-up, by which a foe of the theor of evolution will act as prosecutor in place of a proponent, was announced. George W. Rappleyea, who obtained the warrant for Scopes’ arrest, has withdrawn in favor of Walter White, superintendent of schools, a funda: mentalist. A feature of yesterday's grand jury hearing was the testimony of seven boys, members of the science classes taught by Scopes. In explaining Scopes’ views, some of the young wit- nesses said they had told the grand Jary that Scopes believed in evolution, tut did not believe that man descended from a monkey. Preceding the testimony, Judge Raulston read the Ten: ee statute covering evolution and also the first| chapter of Gen prosecution, i ewart, attorney gen ayton assoclates, S. K. Hil W. C. Haggard, H. E. Hicks . G. McKenzie, today issued a statement, prompted, they declared, by lack of information in regard to the | evolution test and its development here. “While we have no desire to try the Scopes case through the press, we thin hat, in justice to the peo- ple of Dayton, the full truth of the prosecution of Prof. Scopes should be known and hence make the following statement: rluding A. T, | eral, and four ression has gone out in that the prosecution of ase was nothing more than a ffair, so far as the trial of is concerned, and that the ldea originated in the minds of Day- ton people for publicity purposes. “Nothing $a’ urther from the truth. The defendamy, 7, “.. Scopes, who was HMigh School of Rhea County, at Davion, was, before the passage of the law in question, as well as after the passage of this law, teaching to the students of Dayton and Rhea County Darwin’s and other theories of evolution. According to statements in some of the school n, he taught: ‘That man orlg- inated as a small one-cell animal, liv- Ing first in the seas.’ He taught that man came from the ‘lower animals.’ Aroused Resentment. “Some few days before he was formally arrested on this charge the| matter of his teaching evolution was being discussed publicly about . the istreets and in the business houses of Dayton. As this report became more videly spread the people almost as a Thole began to express resentment at ch a condition and, although the mrrant for the arrest of Prof. Scopes BS sworn out by a friend of evolu- »n, for the purpose of testing the . it would have in the course of iday or so been issued upon the mplaint of other citizens of the Wn and patrons of the school for % purpose of preventing the teach- I} ‘of such doctrine in the public s00ls. IThere is not a person in Dayton W had the slightest idea that the apst and indictment of Prof. Scopes Wid cause any such publicity as it i The purpose of his indictment wito protect the school children and (drevent the teaching of a science carary to that given to man by Gorl. 'he prosecution of the case upon thronvening of the grand jury was asmed by Prof. Walter White, su- pejtendent of public instructions of RR County, and is being prosecuted byjim for the good of the public schis s em."” N Scopes declined comment aft| the indictment, other than to sayhat he was not surprised, as he hadxpected to be indicted. to Walter F.
