APPEAL DENIED.
scou AWAlTS
HlS EllidlllON
CHICAGO, July 16.—~(AI’). De-
nied his final appeal for a. reprieve
or commutation. Russell Scott. rat-
ed a few years ago as a Canadian
millionaire. awaits his execution set
for tomorrow.
The 30 year old author of books
on business ethics. who was sen-
tenced to hang for the murder of
a drug clerk, protested his inno-
cence today. He said his brother
Robert. who has never been appre-
hended. did the killing.
“Some day they'll discover
mistake they've made." he said.
Tomorrow is the seventh birth-
day of Scott's oldest son. llobert.
His wife and father yesterday ap-
pealed to the state board of ap-
dons and paroles in the hope of
saving him from the gallows, but
the board declined to recommend
that the Governor interfere.
Scott, once head of a promotion
concern in Canada. first pleaded
guilty on a murder charge. When
the Judge indicated he would im‘
pose a death penalty. Scott's attor-
ney threw himself on the floor in
suppllcation for his client's life.
Through a technicality Scott was
permitted to withdraw his plea. and
stand trial. A jury imposed the
death penalty. Canadian friends
staged dances in his home town to
raise money to aid him in appealing
the case. The Supreme court main-
tained the Judgment of the jury.
the
was brought into the courtroom af-
ter an extended period of exclusion.
A plea of "not guilty" was entered
for John T. Scopes by one of his at~
torneys. the jury was sworn and at
last was actually a. part of the case.
The jurymen heard Walter White.
superintendent of schools. two
school boy students of Scopes and
I" .13. Robinson. chairman of the
Board of Education testify for the
state. “A Civic Biology" by George
W. Hunter. and a. Bible were intro-
duced in evidence. The state rested
and the defense called Dr. Metcalf.
At the first mention of "evolution"
objection came_.fro'tn the state as to
the admissibility of such testimony.
Mr. Metcalf told of his years of
study and work as a teacher of
zoology. He recounted his degrees
and connections in scientific work.
After this detail Clarence Darrow
asked:
"Are you an evolutionist."
“Surely," replied the witness as
the attorney general semed ‘about
to inter-pose an objection.
“Do you know any scientific men
who are no evolutionists?" was Mr.
Darrow's next question and Mr.
Stewart's objection was in this time
before an answer could be made.
Answe- Is Whisper!!!
The court instructed the witness
to whisper his answar to the court
stenographer and admonished that
court attache not to permit the
press to get it. The 'answer was
whispered and entered in the record.
Then Dr. Metcalf was asked to
give his definition of evolution.
Man Among Primates.
Man. said the witness. is classed
among the primates. He is not so
highly developed in his body as
some other animals. His hand is
not so skillful as the claw of a bird.
Primates include monkeys. tailed
and taillese. man and others of
which fossil forms have been found.

Fundamental proofs of evolution.
Dr. Mett'alf declared. are found not
in man so much its in ldwcr animals.
Various proofs found throughout
the universe make a tremendous
probability in favor of evolution of
man.
li‘ivc school boy witnesses and F.
E. Robinson and Walter White were
sworn in en niasse after Judge
Raulston had overruled the defense
motion to quash the indictment, Mr.
White. the prosecutor. was the first
witness to take the stand.
Robinson said Scopes had told
him he could not touch biology
without violatan the anti-evolution
law and that the law was unconsti-
tutional. This statement was made
during the course of a. conversation
between George W. Rappleyea and
White, the witness testified. '
“He admitted he had taught the
theory of.ovolutlon as expounded in
the text of Hunter's Biology and
said that he could not teach the
book without violating the law."
White testified.
Darrow on cross examination
brought out the testimony that Rob-
inson. chairman of the school board,
was selling the text book. _ .
, Defense Objects. 1
The attorney general then an-
nounced his intention of introducing
the biological text book and a. Bible
into the evidence. This brought a
vigorous protest from Arthur Gar-
field Hays. of the defense. who de-
clared that the prosecution must
prove what was the theory of the
creation taught in the Bible before
they could convict Scopes. e
“Where in the law do you find
that the prosecution must prove
that. Scopes. violated the law by
teaching a theory in conflict with
the King James version of the Bl-
bld'?" he asked. declaring there were
several different versions of the El-
ble. .
“Why must they not call some
one to the witness stand to prove
what the Bible is." he asked. He
cited several cases in an effort to
prove his contentions. Whiteha-
tened stolidly as he continued his
argument and the jury leaned for-
ward expectantly.
After a brief argument between
the defense attorney and the attor-
ncy general the state resumed its ex-
amination of the witness. After one
question which brought a. reitera-
tion of previous testimony the wit-
ness was turned over to the defense
for cross examination.
Darrow brought out first the fact
that the book was the oaicial text
book adopted'by the Tennessee Text
Book commission and that Scopes
taught it because it was the odlcisl
book at that time.
“You never said anything to him
about it or any other teacher, did

"No, I had no instructions to do

The witness said ho was fourteen
years old and hud‘attended the Rhea
County High school last year re-
ceiving instructions in science from
the defendant. About the second
of April the witness said "he taught
us that animal live evolved a one-
celled animal-which eventually be-
came man." This theory which the
boy said the teacher had taught by
relating that man in th ebeginning
came from a. germ which through
the evolutionary process came up on
dry land as a. living cell. He as well
as the book classified men in the
same category with cats. dogs and
other mammals the boy said.

row the youth said he had not

ed laughter several times.
“Dld he tell you anything else that
was wicked 1’" he asked.
The boy slowly shook his
and answered in the negative.
Shown one of the text books the
boy read a list of mammals includ-
ing monkey and man. Darrow then
read an excerpt from the chapter of
mammals. relating the method by
which animals feed their young and
some outstanding examples which
ended with the classification. ‘mon-
key and man."
He was followed by Harry Shel-
ton. a biology student who testified
that Scopes taught that life first ex-
isted in a cell. Few questions were
asked by the state before the stu-
dent went to Darrow for examina-
tion.
Shelton said he only remembered
that the teacher had said life come
from one cell.
"You didn't leave the church

FORD FAVORS OLD FASHIONED

DETROIT. July 16 tAP).—-The
Detroit Free Press in a published in-
terview with Henry Ford today cred-
its the automobile manufacturer
with saying that the United states
is on a sound economic basis but also
brings out that Mr. Ford continues
his advocacy of old fashioned danc-
ing. and his own efforts to master
the old quadrille squares.
"The old dances are in the blood
of the "American people." he said.
“and they will never die. It is only
necessary to let the people see them.
and these dances will come back
into their own. There is no style
or grace in the tango, the Chlcm
om -step and modern dances. said .
Foxd. '
in one corner of his Dearborn la-
bm'atory Mr. Ford has canvassed ha
a. ball room and hired Benjamin
Lovell. a. Massachusetts dancing
muster. to teach classes. which Mr.
Ford himself often joins. Contin-
uing. the paper says:
“Costume and barn dances are be-
ing staged by the motor magnate
frequently for his guests and the
classes of Professor Lovett. of which
he is possibly the best pupil. The
world‘s richest man. best known in-
dustrial chief. is an excellent dancer.

town police last night. that on July
14 he had struck Elmer McGuin.

driving a Ford truck in that street.
He stated that he took the boy
home and that an examination by a
physician revealed only a. slight cut
on the boy's leg.
No arrests were made by the po-
lice. Mr. La Moria said that he was
