DELAY IN TREE" CASE
JUSTICE GOULD NOT PREPARED
TO RENDER DECISION.

The historic trees of the Botanic Gar
den will be spared, at least until after
the new year dawns. Justice Gould, who
is the arbiter of their fate, announced to-
day that he is unprepared to decide the
question presented by the application of
Attorney C. H. Syme for an injunction to
prevent the destruction of the trees. 1t is
expected that his decision will be rendered
January 2, or may be not until a week
later.
Arguments on the injunction were made
last Friday before Justice Gould. and he
had expected to give his opinion this
morning, but the stress of other judicial
matters precluded the consideration Of
the tree controversy. The court will
probably write an opinion, in which he
will deal with all the points raised in
favor of the trees. as we'll as those favor
ing their removal. Col Bromwell, in his
answer. dsclaimed any intention to de-
stroy the trees, but said it was his pur-
pose to transplant them.
Attorney Syme had no objection to
make to the delay consequent upon the
failure of the court to decide the matter.
He declared to a Star reporter that the
object of his bill for an injunction was to
preserve the trees until Congress con-
vened. and he expressed the hope that ac-
ton would be taken by that body to pre-
vent the destruction of the Crittenden
oak and the Beck elm.
