ANOTHER TRIAL FOR HIGH AM.
? J
Wholesale Mur<t?r<M^To Ik* 'Fried in
llorry County This Month.
Conway, Sept. 10.?Edmund 0. Bigham,
ulleged slayer of five members
of tho Bigham family in Florence
i county moro than Ave years ago, is
{scheduled to face his <hird jury trial
in the Horry county cQurk-tooustThero
the latter part of this , month, The
forty-year-old father has been twice
found guilty of murder and each time
was sentenced to the electric chair,
but the Supreme Court has granted
him a new trial in each case. Tho
death sentence has been imposed three
times since he was first convicted in
Florence county in the spring of 1921, 1
In both of his trials Bigham was ]
found guilty of the murder of L, Smiley
Bigham, his brother. He also
stands indicted for the alleged murder
of his mother, Mrs. Dora Bigham^
widow of a former state senator, hia
sister, Mrs. Marie Black, and John
and Leo McCracken, young adopted
children of Mrs. Black.
The tragedy occurred on the afternoon
of January 15, 1921, at the Bigham
plantation near Pamplico. Ed- ;
mund attempted to establish An alibi
at his first trial, and in this was supported
by his wife and two young
daughters. They swore that all threeof
them were at the home of a neighbor
when the homicides occurred.
The defejg|g adhering to the alibi {
plea, has endeavored to show at the
previous trials that Smiley Bigham,
unbalanced, by financial and other
worries, killed the eth^r members of
the family and committed 'suitdde. His
body was not ?ound until the day after :'
the tragedy. It was lying in a clump
of 'bushes some three-quarters of a
mile from the Bigham home, and a
pearl-handled revolver was loosely .
grasped in his hand. The prosecution
has contested that EdiftUfid Bigham
placed the weapon in his brother's
hand after the latter had become cold
in death.
The second trial of the case was
held in the fall of 1924. Great crowds
thronged the court house every day
during the two weeks that the trial
was'tmder way. An effort by defense
counsel, A. L. King, of Florence, and
Menjlel L. Smith of Camden, to obtaiiv
a venue change when the supreme
court had reversed the finding
of the Horry court, was defeated.
- Solicitor L. M. Gasque has been assisted
in the prosecution by Philip H.
Arrowsmith of Florence, former, fam*!

. The case was set for trial at thf
summer term of court here but 'the
unexpected length of 80me~*cases involving
bank failures resulted in a
postponement.

Plague of Mosquitoes.
Kinaton, N. C., Sept. 9.?^ plague
of mosquitoes in the couhtry along
Pamlico Sound between Netise and
Pamlico rivers, is reported *by persons,
returning 'here today. Several found
residents 4>t the territory using fans
and brushes to ward off hordes of the
stingers, which, emerged in droning
swarms from iho woods and marshes.
Fitzhugh Wallace, an attorney, saidthe
plague was blamed on <a northeast
wind which was held to have blown
"half the mosquitoes in the country"
into an area of a few hundred miles
square. Old-timers referred to the
invasion as a "gut of mosquitoes?
and declared it would be nine days before
relief would be had.
