ACTORS GATHER IN DAYTON FOR SCOPES TRIAL (Continued from Page One) its trial- away, by long distance telephone last night from Chattanooga. There was no demons!Ation, only a feeling of vast relief. John Thomas Si opes, the defend ant, was due back here today with his counsel, Joi n R. Neal; Clarence Darrow and his asoeiates are expected Thursday. Four witnesses were subpoenaed today, all students in Scopes' class at the local high school. They will testify against him as they did when Scopes was indicted. The panel of jurymen chosen yestesday to furnish the 12 men to try Scopes was generally regarded as being pretty well fundamentalist in their leanings. The greater number of them are Methodists with Baptists next. Cooksville. Tenn., July 7. — (United Press.) —Cooksville has had its hour in the limelight and Dayton’s fame—and probably its money—have been saved. At the proceedings late yesterday which drew attention to this hitherto obscure little town. Federal Judge John J. Gore refused to grant an injunction against trial of the Scopes evolution case in the state court al Dayton. By this ruling he assured the opening of the Scopes case at Dayton—, which means so much to the little town —and opened and closed quiet Cooksville’s hour of public attention. In making his ruling. Judge Gore advised attorneys who asked the injunction to apply in a court which had definite jurisdiction over Dayton —the federal court at Chattanooga Judge John R. Neal, counsel for Scopes, said such an application would be made. Gore based his ruling on two grounds—one that the federal court could only interfere with state court cases in certain proceedings involving bankruptcy and the other that his court was not in the district with jurisdiction over Dayton. The proceedings were brief. Two petitions for the injunction, which was sought as a preliminary to the removal of the trial from Dayton were presented. One was from Scopes and the other from a private citizen, alleging the law under which Scopes was accused deprived them of rights guaranteed by the federal constitution. Judge Neal of the Scopes defense personally presented the petitions.
