In the courthouse Clarence
ro'| Harrow, of Chicago, attempted
to eliminate the prayer with
which Judge Rawlton habitual-
ly open his Court. This move by
the celebrated Chicago attor-
ney probably comes as a result
of his belief that his client is
certain of conviction and fore-
shadows an appeal on the
ground that the religious at-
mosphere created in the court
room prejudiced the cause of
the defendant. Of course this
is absurd.
The trial furnished interest-
ing newspaper copy during the
hot spell, but afforded little in-
formation of real value. View-
ed from this distance, the asso-
ciation of Darrow, the agnostic
did not help the Scopes de-
fense, although the conviction
was certain before the trial
commenced.
