M (Mrs hold >44^000,000. * . TO BK TKIE!> AT CONWAY. j Florence County Man Successful In Getting Change of Venue. Florence, June ltt.? Kdmund I). Bigham, convicted slayer of his brother and charged with the mur der of four other members of his family was granted a change of venue by Judge S. W. (i Shipp to day when the case was called ^for the new trial allowed by t! statu ^ypieme court. One reason for the change of venue, according to attorneys, was the fact that Judge Shipp had pre viously passed upon some phases of the Bigham ease. The county to which the case will be transferred was not decided upon immediately bi\t it will be George town, Hyrry or Marion, which with Florence county make up the twelfth judicial circuit. Obtaining of a change of venue is regarded by the defense as its sec ond important victory in the long legal struggle that began early in 1921 when Kdmund I). Bigham, Flor ence county man was arrested on the charge of murdering his brother, L. Smiley Bigham, his mother Mrs. M. M, Bigham, his sister, Mrs. Marjorie Black, and the two adopted children of the latter John and Leo Mc Cracken, both mere boys. The first ?legal decision favorable to the de^ fendant was that of the Supreme Court last summer when it ordered a new trial for the defendant, who then had been under death sentence ?for more than two years following conviction 6n the charge of murder ing L. Smiley Bigham. The new trial was granted by the Supreme Cotirt upon the contention by Bigham's attorneys that they had after-discovered evidence to support his claim that he was innocent, and also upon the introduction of numer ous affidavit* by Florence citizens saying they,, did not believe In? could have had a fair trial when he was tried in March 1921 because of the popular feeling following the tragedy. The after-discovered evidence in cludes a letter allegpd to have been written by Smiley Bigham which in dicates the latter contemplate kill ing all members of the family and then taking his own life. There were no eye witnesses to the tragedy in the old Bigham home near FampIicoT and the first theory was that Smiley whose body was found some distance from the house with a revolver near, had shot his mother sister and the two children to death, and committed suicide. The arrest of Kdmund was made some time later following . an investigation by the coroner's jury. Florence, June 1(5. ? Kdmund Big ham, who is charged with the mur der of five members of his family, will be tried at Conway, Horry coun ty, during the October term of court according to the decision of Judge S. W. G. Shipp here today in circuit court. Jurors For General Sessions.
