JUDGE IN TEARS.
ANTI-EVOLUTION SENTIMENT. EFFECT OF DAYTON TRIAL., CHICAGO Aug. 10. Mr. Clarence Harrow, who defended Air. j. T. Scopes, in the anti-evolu-tion case in Dayton, Tennessee, on his return from a holiday after his strenuous labours in th© case, declared confidently that the trial would keep other States, from passing anti-evolution laws. Curiously enough. Air. Darrow returned here on the same day that Judge Raulston, who presided at the trial, reached Chicago to assist tlio Bryan, memorial movement, and in doing so he severely criticised Air. Harrow.
Moved sometimes to tears, Judge Raulston denounced “the agnostic” lawyer who tried to destroy Bryan.’’ “Bryan did not .believe in evolution,” declared the Judge,” and I don’t believe in it, either. I don’t believe that God made a miserable monkey, and then let Nature do tlio rest. I believe in a God that can answer prayers—a real God. and not a wooden one.” School children in every State are being asked to contribute to a Bryan memorial.
