King, who was killed by his wife at Pontiac yesterday, were brought to this place and buried at Wesley chapel cemetery today. Mr. King was horn and raised here. He served as policeman of the town and magistrate's constable for several years. He was married to Miss Ail- een Parrott, daughter of J. J. Par rott, about 13 years ago. He moved from here to Pontiac about a year and a half ago. He was the only son of Ben F. King, a highly respected farmer and citizen of this county. and she told him, “Oh yes we had to send for Edmond to come back tor protection” from Smiley, wbom he swears was addicted to the use of in toxicants and in his sprees was very dangerous. Bigham was brought back to Flor ence Saturday afternoon. He is now in the Florence county jail, whet'e his wife called yesterday afternoon to see him. When called upon this morning by a Times reporter, Edmond said: ‘ Well, 1 am like the litt.e boy was when the calf run over him—I don’t believe I’ve got anything to say,” On being reminded of the interviews which had been pub.ished in Columbia papers from him, he said they had reported a lot of things which he never knew of till he read the papers. He is looking in the prime of health. If he has worried over his sentence of death, he does not show it. He asked about having the Times sent to him and the rates. When told the rate for a year, he laughed generously, and asked what the reporter thought he would want with a paper for a year, when he might be somewhere else instead of here in that time. ( The finding of these letters was ex plained this morning for the first time in the affidavit of Mrs. May Bigham, wife of Edmond. She related that they had been packed in their furni ture when they moved from Georgia to Patnplfco. They were never un packed till the furniture later was shipped to Taylors, in Greenville county. There, in casual cleaning up of the fumiture, she found these let ters last winter and sent them to Mr. King. Mr. King said this morning that Ed mond had told him, during the trial, of those letters, but that they had been unable to find them and there fore did not mention them to the court. The letters were not taken care of and happened to survive dTerely through chance than for any other! reason, as Edmond says in an affidavit, j All the letters reflect a muddled con-1 di ion of affairs at the Bigham homej near Pampiico about the time they i weie written. Most likely the order of this case j wih ue lor tne motion fur a new trial. to oe made beiore the court resenteu-! iCo the defendant. In case of denial,! it Will be appealed, presumably. Should the court elect to resentence the prisoner fast, as is not likely, the motion would have the effect of slaying the order of execution by the court. In either procedure, quite | likely, unless the court grants a new 1 trial, whether Bigham must be electro cuted or will get a new trial under or der of the supreme court, will not he sett ed for several months. After receiving the notice of the defense in Bighani’s case to try for a new trial, the solicitor immediately associated with him a number of Flor ence attorneys, whom he has asked to assist him in handling the hear- 1 ing Friday of the motion. Fie lias in-! dicated that he will make the bitter-' est fight yet to sustain the vert let | which the state has procured against ’ Edmund. One of the attorneys. asso-J dated with Mr. Casque, made the fol | lowing statement this afternoon: ‘•The solicitor states this is Ihei poorest attempt ever brought to his attention in an effort to get a now, trial cn after discovered evidenco since he has been solicitor. As a matter of fact, the record shows the 1 desperate efforts of the defense to obtain a new trial and the affidavits show on their face it is not after dis covered evidence in any sense as al-| leged. The letters alleged to have been written by L. S. Bigham were in the possession of Edmond before the trial. They were mentioned to; his attorney and they apparently made a half hearted search for them. I "In the opinion of the solicitor, there is really nothing whatever in the record to indicate the letters are genuine when every circumstance in connection with the matter negates’ this idea. The requirement of thej law that a man desiring a new trial; upon after discovered evidence is that i he should exercise due diligence in! obtaining evidence and presenting it | to the court and in this connection, j Mr. King’s affidavit is to the effect | that he received the letters April 12 ] I and his notice of intention to move : for a new trial was served only today j I on the solicitor—at a time when he | is confronted with the heaviest crimi-' nal docket on record. The solicitor i further says that the defendant, Big-! ham, testified on trial 'in substance j , what he now contends his deceased • brother wrote him and this evidence! i is pitrely cumulative. He expressed i .today his confidence that the judg-! ment of the lower court, already af-j ’ firmed by the supreme court, will not | ; be upset by *any showing which the alleged after discovered evidence may make.” SWIM-KAPS —From— The Rexall Store Add that Touch of Nicety to the Fashionable Appearance of the BATHING GIRL This Year’s Creations Abound With CHIC STYLES PLENTIFUL COLORS VARIETY of SHAPES a Caps for the Little Folks as Well as Pure Gum Divers for Men.
