Trial opens as Scopes case jury picks proceed
Dayton Tennessee July 10 two men chose to try John T Scopes on a charge of violating the state ban on teaching evolution in public schools. The day saw the first legal clash over admitting scientific testimony on evolution. Twelve of twenty jurors examined were accepted with few state questions. The defense asked many questions and used two peremptory challenges. One rejection due to age left four possible jurors. No session tomorrow as defense seeks time to confer on points. The issue, to be argued Monday before Judge Kaueston Rawlston, centers on whether scientific testimony can show evolution and Bible creation need not conflict. Court opens at nine, recesses at 11:30.
