Bigham, long inmate of the itate pen itentiary's death house, wall be taken back to Horry county, jail within a few days, if Superintendent A. M. Scarborough's desires are acceded to. As yet, however, the prisoner is in the charge of the state and the state is paying his board bilk Attorney General Wolfe has ren dered an opinion, at the request of Superintendent Scarborough of the state prison, as to Bigham's status and the attorney states that Bigham is a prisoner of Horry county.

Bigham was sentenced to die on October 81, but an appeal stayed the date and there is now no time set This makes Bigham a prisoner of Horry county, the law providing that prior to the twenty days ahead of execution, a prisoner doomed to die be held in the county where he‘ was sentenced. Attorney General Wolfe has so ruled. Superintendent Scarborough is now writing to Sheriff Lewis, of Horry, making him what disposition he wants made of Bigham. It is presumed the Horry authorities will take their map back, and hold him until other liti gation moves have been completed. Bigham is a Florence county resident and the crime laid at his door was committed in Florence county. The attorney general states that if appeal is made, then Bigham's exe cution is postponed. “In this case, a stay of execution has been caused by appeal, as I understand the facts,” the attorney general writes, “and if this is correct, then the sheriff had no right to bring the prisoner to the penitentiary and he should be re manded to the county jail and to the sheriff for proper custody in Horry county, from which he was sentenced.” A number of counties of the state are in debt to thq state penitentiary, for board for prisoners kelcl at vari ous times for “safe-keeping.” The penitentiary is put to heavy expenses at times to care for such prisoners, and for this ‘ reason Superintendent Scarborough desires to have Bigham Removed. Bigham was convicted of the mur der of his brother, Smiley, and charg es are also out against him, involving FRIDAYr OCTOBER: 17.1 1924 Farmer’s Day, Thursday, Manufac-* turer's Day, and Friday will be School Day.
