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.
