NUMBER 12* HIGH AM CASE POSTPONED Now Famous Prisoner To Wait Until Fall For Trial The Bigham case running true to form, is again entangled in legal red tape, and yesterday was postpoued until the fall term of court of Horry 1 county, which convenes on September 27. Two bank cases, with the defendants Bolen and Lewis out on' bond, were allowed to step in and clog the machinery of the court in spite of the fact that the State of South Carolina has gone to the expense of appointing special Judge Sam T. Lanham especially to hear the Bigham case. Edmund Bigham was ni jail, and according to his own statements and those of of his attorney, A. L. King, was anxious for trial. Mendel L. Smith, who is associated with A. L. King in the defense of the much-tried Bigham, spent the entire week in Conway, and waited until Saturday morning when It was plainly evident that the bank cases would run over into the second week of court, before concurring with the solicitor in a continuance of the case until the fall tenm. The witnesses were dismissed, and the long, tedious process of getting them all there was for naught. There was much talk about the .streets of Conway over the way court has been allowed to drag the past week. i Edmund Bigham was returned to the Florence county jail at noon, and appeared to be. in better spirits, althought he stated he was disappointed 1 that his case had to ;be again de- 1 layed. He still insists that he is entirely innocent and "will yet get a ( fair trial," as he put it. The Bigham case holds th$ v state .! record for delays and appeals. It has ' been before the Supreme Court in one form or another eight times. .It ' has been postponed from one case or ( another no less than ten times. It har, been the cause of editorial com- i ment in practically. every .uewspapair 1 in the South, many editors .tracing : the prevalency of cripie directly-to ; the way justice has been man-handled i in this long drawn-out case.?-Flor- \ once Morning News-Review, Sunday. ^ . ?J !f .jiilMim* mmmmmmmmrnfl i i Tribute to Mr. Allred A committee comprising Messrs. J. H. Osborne, W. R. Hough and < C. C. Whitaker, members of the city council have" drafted the following ' resolutions of respect to the memory ( of the late W. B. Allred, superintendent of the Camden Water and j Light department: "Whereas, Almighty Gv4 in mani- ' testation of His wisdom and providence has removed from us our esteemed fellow official, Mr. W. B.
