Who was the the prosecutor at the scopes trial?

It is widely believed - probably due to the part taken by the fictional Matthew Harrison Brady in the play/films of "Inherit the Wind" - that the famous politician and fundamentalist, William Jennings Bryan acted as the chief prosecutor at the Scopes trial. But this is NOT correct. The chief prosecutor at the real life Scopes "Monkey" trial was in fact Thomas A. "Tom" Stewart, Attorney General for the 18th district where the trial took place. Stewart headed a team that included a further 7 people (in alphabetical order): William Jennings Bryan (volunteer - assistant prosecutor) William Jennings Bryan Jr (volunteer - assistant prosecutor, W.J. Bryan's son) Wallace Haggard (volunteer - assistant prosecutor) Herbert Hicks (volunteer - assistant prosecutor) Sue Hicks (volunteer - assistant prosecutor, Herbert Hicks' brother) Ben McKenzie (volunteer - assistant prosecutor, retired district attorney-general) J. Gordon McKenzie (volunteer - assistant prosecutor, Ben McKenzie's son) (For the record, although he had qualified as a lawyer many years earlier, Bryan had not acted in a legal case for some 30 years before taking part in the Scopes trial.)
