Today is the first day of the Scope's trial and there are a lot of people here to see the court trial. The court room is absolutely packed and is so crowded you can hardly breath. The closeness and claustraphobia of the room is made even worse by the fact that there is only one window. The judge just came in and the whole room is now quiet and, after we prayed, the bailiff introduced Judge Ralstin. The Judge is filling Darrow with contempt of court, so he either goes to jail or he has to pay a $5,000 fine. Darrow has just apologized to the Judge for being disrespectful and is beging for forgiveness from the Judge.
-William Jennings Bryan
