ith murder ,in connection with the
filing oY five members of his family ^
ix years ago, will he tried for thelird

The order of Judge Bonham foliowd
the renewal of an effort on the part
f. defense attorneys to secure h
hange of venue' hack to Florence

loiiham, however* hejd that to change^
. <a . ....
he trial back to Florence -county
fuuld constitute.the revocation of the
tiling of anohter eircuit judge, which,
eaaid. he hud.no fight to do.
In granting the order for the brief
ontimiance, Judge Bonham, chiefly
awed his decision on facts brought
o his attention, us well as to the at-:
nation,of Solicitor' L. M. Gasque.'j
vhich were not brought out at the
caring of the motion this morning.
"There are conditions of a* peculiar
ature existing?now," the judge, said,
which seem to me to entitle the deendant
to have a period of time in this
asp. They are of sq delicate a ua-ure
and so peculiar a naturethat, in
on s (deration of the feelings of others,
Ijey have not been "declared . in the"
nf thin ??m l.av
een brought to the attention of the
tute*s attorney and of this court. They
re things of a temporal nature which,
n the course of. a little time "will hayg.^
IUSS ed away. To coitipel the oleffi.hdint
to go to trial todayr with these
hings existing would be harsh. unfair
ind unnecessary."
It was learned,' however, that the
natters of which thp> judge spoke 4n
to way .pertained to Bigham or his
fitnesses. . J
Ltiw. aio bni*n nil

he motion, Mendel L. Smith of Camlen,
defense jattnrney,- declared that
trictly as a matter of law the defendant
had ample grounds on Which to
?asf an appeal for continuance over
he spring term of coiirt. He produc-'
d a telegram recelvejd early today
rqm a physician *of Asheville declarng
that Mrs. Edmund Bigham could
lotv attend the trial due to the fact
hat she was suffering from Influenza,
tut Judge Smith did not make this
elegraphic-statement a basis for his
iroruimhit. He removed the matter
ntirely In his plea before the judge
ihd declared that the defendant JwUa
inxious for trial. This yva* an obvi- j
>us point both on the part of state
lefense. Both sides made themselves ,
lear that no unnecessary deljiy was I
rished. and that the public/ the detndants
and all concerned, with the
ase were anxious-for its disposal.
Judge Smith informed the court that
ie had been authorized by Phillip H.
trrowsmith ,of Florence to say that
fr. Arrowsmith, due to pressing legilattv*
business in Columbia, would be
nable'to attend "the trial<bf Bighnm,

today,
. Judge Bonham, immediately at the
close of the argument ruled ai* follows:
...'"This is.a niotlon on the part of the
defendant' for a change of venue "tn
this ?et8e. It* is supplemental L<f the j
mattershkh came before me a week.j
ago hpon a similar motion.
"I h?ve read and. listened with care >
to the reading of the affidavit of Mr.
J?i|ig ind of Mr. Henderspn. Tjhcse
nSUifii* <in nftt nri>?ASt a condition
:?7m from ttot prr?Mnt?V^to nrwj
-the other day. Mr. Henderson does
not himself say that ho does not be
lleve that the defendant can obtain it
-fair and impartial THa! in , Hcpfy
county. He does say that he haadieard
a-mimbi-r of people express the'opirv:
ion,that the defendant was guilty, but
it would be an idle thing to say -that,
what one ha.- heard is a general ex^
piession - of opinion of the county. I
'am not convinced by the showing made
[that this man ccuild not obtain a_fair
and impartial triaf^fti this county.
- "It is urged in-sxTguments that this
question, involved in this motion, j
should not be determined upon the con-'.
! sl itutional limitation of the right of
change of venue, but should, be consideu
cijrather in the light of a motion to
YeyoKe a former order made by a cir
cult juage oy wrucn toac
"nuived from Florence- to. this county.
I am firm In the conviction that I have
no r^ht.^oi set .aside- the order of ahoth?
r circuit judge. Therefore, , the
motion*.to change the venue upou,this
affidavit and upon the further ground
of revocation <jf the..order of the ' circuity
judge must be denied. '
"1^lt^-V|u?atit>n -has. presented Itself
whether this case should, be ordered
immediately to trial - at some other
timP. The trial is 1ixed to b'e held in
this county., When I assumed the do"
ties of a circuit judg? I expressed to
^ome friends this sentiment, who were,
kind enough to say kinder" things
have no desire to be rtmemberW when
I an*, gone tee^ gresV^afidl brilliant
judge/hut-1 do hope that when I have* |
laid down the duties of the office that'*
it canbc'truthfuUy and conscientiousj!ysard
of me that he wn*=wfair and (
impSrtlat judge. I conceive It to be
the duty of one occupying this position
to s<xe that justice be don? the state
and the defendant in this-coui-t of g'AP- ,
eral sessions in every'casb.
'Tht^e are- conditions of-a peculiar (
' .. .1. I.L >^IBM I rtV ill u |
nature existing now, v>u<t>i .?? ,
to entitle -the defendant to have a peHod:of

a nature that,-in coneidera^ion of the , ,
Cpellnjr of others they "have hot been i

tfoii of the~state's <dtoraey and<.tp the. ,
