B—8 #x» TEACHER DENIES EVOLUTION GOUNT Waynesburg, Pa., Woman Testifies She Told Pupils It Was “Joke.” By the Associated Press. WAYNESBURG. Pa., August 11.— In a hot. gas-lit country school jammed with overall-clad farmers | and ginghamed housewives, a dis- charged school mistress testified early today she had told pupils evolution was a “joke.” Mrs. Laura Elms Morris, charged with cruelty and incompetency, ad- mitted she struck a 14-year-old stu- dent with a 3-foot board. A hearing on the charges turned | for the second time to an investiga- tion of the teaching of Darwin's theory after counsel for the Whiteley Township School Board recalled four | pupils to “get at the bottom of this| monkey business.” A student testi- | fied at a session last week that Mrs. | Morris taught “men came from mon- | keys.” | Testimony w ompleted after mid- night, but the board of farmers and a State higway department mechanic . reserved until Friday their decision on whether to re-employ Mrs. Morris. Jack Jones, a stocky, sun-tanned scverith grade student testified Mrs. Morris discussed evolution while ex- plaining a picture of a man who was “covered with hair.” “She told us he was a man who Just lost his tail and by losing his tail he changed from a monkey into a man and started to live in a cave,” explained the boy, a brother of| Held at Belzoni, Miss., Bar- Eugene Jones, who Mrs. Morris said| 7€tt, 50-year-old tenant she paddled with the board. farmer, was charged with Red-haired Kathleen Dods, 14, an-| murder following the discov- other witness, asserted Mrs. Morris| €Y 0f the decomposed and talked of evoluticr “every other week.”| decapitated body of his 11- Mrs. Morris, testifying in her own| ¥ear-old son, Jordon.
