Dayton, Tenn.. July IS—Excited as small boys on circus day. Dayton'» iu- ■ habitants transient and permanent, answered the awakening scream of the old sawmill whistle across the valley today and moved enmasse to the little ivy-dad Rhea county courthotise where the trial of Professor John T. Scopes for teaching evolution, was to begin. Envied by all their fellow townsmen the thirty farmers and townsfolk from whom the jury was to be chosen, were ready to go to Iho courthouse Several hundred citizens tok up their places in the ball park, where loud speakers through which the pro reedings to be Broadcast, wore in stalled. The first comer reached the court room at 6:45 a, in..—two hours and a quarter before the trial was due to start. He was H. V. Tuttle, of Osceola. Mo., farmer, who started ent to "hoof it” but got lifts with such good success that he was only half a day behind the train. He is an ardent evolutionist. C. E. Keep, Scotia, NebT also a farmer, was next* Ho took a seat just one removed from Tuttle iu the second row. He is an ardent disciple of the Bible and foil into au argument with Tuttle. Mrs. Mary E. Gibson of Five Points, near Dayton, was the first woman to arrive. She came at. 7 a.m. "I believe in the Bible.” she said. "1 was brought up that way. Maybe I’m wrong.'' William Jennings Bryan last night climbed a little clay mountain above the beautiful Tennesse valley and in a setting that could not have been better devised, with thunder growling in the distance and occasional lightning flashes streaming* the horizon spoke to the. people of bis hope of a great religious revival that would sweep the country. As the trial opened, however Bryan had to share his monoply of the town’s interest with Clarence Darrow, noted lawyer, who is assisting in Scopes’ defense. Darrow arrived late yesterday and at once went into conference with his associates and the young school teachers. The proceedings today were to open with the selection of a jury after which Judge John R. Neal, chief counsel for Scopes, was expected to ask permission to make preliminary state ment. “The principles involved are so diverse that we may regard it necessary to outline them as they appear to. the defense.” Judge Neal said. Iu this case, an immediate reply from the prosecution. possibly a speech by Bryan, who is keyed up for

what h* considers the start of the ■greatest battle of my life”, may ensue. The dofaiua was also expected to move to quash the Indictment on the grounds that the Tennessee law torbidding the teaching of evolution violates the 14th amendment of the youslitutiau of the United States. To everyone's relief, the day of the trial dawned clear and cool . Daytoh hud "tidied tip” for the greatest event In its history. The streets were neatly swept, gay bunting was displayed in shop windows and hewly painted benches were arraigned outside the courthouse for the benefit of those wlw could not get inside. > Thus priiu iples of the case pre pared leisurely for the opening of the trial which Judge llaulslou fixed at the regular hour of uine despite reports he would begin at 10.
