THE RESOLUTION TREE.

Behold the resolution tree,
Lugubrious to view;
1t stands 80 straight It backward
leans,
And all Its leaves are new.
1t does not glitter in the gloom,
No cheerful CLEAN invites,
There Is no chance for jollity-.
The lid Is on Its lights.
And though alluring articles
Festoon 1t round about,
The branches are entirely hung
With things to do without.

NEW TRIAL MAY BRING
NEW DEVELOPMENTS
This IS the Prediction of Miss
Lave if the Bacon Case IS
Heard Again.

According 10 Philip l. Garrett, argu-
ment for a new trial IN the case of David j.
II Bacon. found guilty III Court Of Cen
eraI Sessions on " edneSday on charges of
bigamy. will come before Judge Rice next
Monday. Nh Garrett declined TO state
on what grounds the argument will be
based
Miss Joe Rue Lave of jacksonville,
Florida, whom Bacon Is alleged 10 have
married last May, while he had legal
wife residing in Roselle hear Wilmington,
declared yesterday that If new trial Is
brought in the case. new evidence Will
probably be introduced. She says that in
the recent trial no witnesses were brought
here to s1bstantiate her claim but if there
is second trial. she will bring southern
officials TO this city 10 testify IN that
behalf
She declared that TO her knowledge
Bacon never drank anything stronger than
ginger ale. She disputes his story that he
did not meet her in 1919 She also disputes
other statements of the defendant, hence
her reliance on witnesses not heretofore
called.
Her motive in prosecuting Bacon Is
what she terms a Southern pride and
a desire to make the man pay for the
suffering he has brought to her.
Her expenses to this city are not paid
by the State, she said, and she estimates
that prosecution of the case has already
cost her over 81 900. She says that if
necessary the aid Of her relatives in Florida
can be enlisted in the case if it goes
further
She expresses sympathy for the two
children Of Bacon, Bacon, Miss Lave
affirms, was well liked in Jacksonville.
Miss awe, who came here alone, will
return TO Jacksonville when the case is
settled. She is 10 years old
