EVOLUTION CASE
REHEARING ASKED
(Associated Press)
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 16.—Hold-
ing up the formal dismissal of the
Scopes evolution case by agreement
today, attorneys for the defense an-
nounced that they would file a mo-tion
for a rehearing at once. Another
movement was getting under way to
ask the present legislature to repeal
the famous statute.
This coup of the defense, executed
by agreement with L. D. Smith, state
attorney general, was made possible
because actual dismissal of the case,
al-though requested by the attorney
general and agreed to by the state
supreme court, had not been placed
formally on the minutes of the tri-bunal
at Knoxville, from which grand
division point the case was trans-
ferred.
The court held yesterday that the
anti-evolution law was constitu-tional,
but reversed the case and recommended
that it be nolle prossed.
