j KING IS BURIED
Lydia, June 5.—The remains of
Clarence C. 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.”
