BIGHAM AND AVANT MUST SERVE TERMS Slayers of Former's Wife Denied New Trial. WHERE IS DR. BIGHAM? The Defendants' Bond are sM??00 and #3,000 Respectively Henilttitiir Comes Doun in Ten Days. Columbia, April 29.?For the killing of Mrs. Ruth Crisp Blgham, at Mur rell's Inlet, in the early evening of September 4, 1909. G. C. Blgham, the husband of the victim, and w. b. Avant, his close friend, musi borve three and a half years in the State penitentiary. In a decision, handed down by the supreme court this after noon, the two men are refused a new trial, the verdict of the circuit COUt't being affirmed. In accordance with the rule oi court, the defendants, now out on bail, will be brought here when the remittitur is handed down in ten days, it is not known here whether there will arise any further coinplicn- ! tions as to the arrest of the men. In Georgetown, where the trial was held, the case throughout has ( rented great interest and the leg:?! steps have been closely watched. A more mysteri ous killing was never known in the history of the county, nor perhaps in the whole State. Refusing the motion of the solicitor to dismiss the appeal on gro .mis ol nonperfecting of the same, .h> su preme Court, in an opinion written by Eugene 1). Gary, A. .1.. goes into the merits of the case. The court, however, considers fully the question of technicalities involved in Solicitor Well's oontenlon as to the appeal, indue Watt.-, at the time of granting nail to the defendants, wrote out an order inserting these words: ?'Notice ?;' intention to appeal having been giv en." This was the bone of contention I before the supreme court. Attornoy Radgsdnle claiming that this consti tuted notice. The court says: "It will thus lie seen that the service ol" notice in writing, on the solicitor, of an intention to ap peal was a prerequisite of tin- grant ing of hail. The order of his Honor. Judge Watts, shows that there was compliance with this requirement" The court then points out that the question is whether the solicitor's af fidavits attacking the verity of this recital should he Considered. ( 'tin;; authorities the court concludes: "In c:ifce of an Insufficient service of notice, if the court decides the ques tion o!" Jurisdiction erroneously, the judgment will be voidable, hut binding until reversed on nppeal. The motion to dismiss the appeal is therefore re Tnking up the question of the 'tests" i ifi rred to frequently in n discussion of this case, the court savs thai the question* of whether or not testimony of this character is ndmissabie de. ponds niion the discretion of the pro siding judge and "in the case under consideration it has not boon made to appear that his discretion was abused." As to tin* testimony of .1 I). Murchinson about the newspaper accounts of the affair, the court says that the ruling of the question along this line as irrelevant was correct nni adds: "This question was manifestly an effort to get before the jury the opin ion attributed by a newspaper to re latives of the deceased with respect to the guilt of the defendants under the guise of cross-examination. On the question of whether a line of cross-examination could he conducted as to the testimony ut the coroner's Inquest, the court says thai this, too, should he loft to (lie discretion of the presiding judgo. The crime for which Dr. G ('. Big ham and W. D. Avant are to spend three years and a half In the state prison was the killing of the beauti ful young wife of Dr. Bigham, at Mur rell's Inlet, twenty-live miles from Georgetown, last September. Out on the beach Mrs. Bigham was walking at dusk and the two men were seated on the porch. As the girl wife passed the house the two men followed ac cording to statements they made and facts brought out tit trial. As far as is known Avant tired the fatal shot. Although neither ot the defendants went on the stand this much was ad mitted to witnesses who testified at the trial. Why Mrs. Bigham was kill ted was never brought out. The two men were friends. Bigham being a vis itor to "Sunnyside." the Avant home j on the Inlet. There were no wltness I es to the killing. Several persons heard the shot, however, and these j testilled. The jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter and the men were sen tenced to three and a half years in the penitentiary. After the trial there were complications about whether or I not the men could be arrested until the appeal was argued. Avant was brought here to the penitentiary, but I was later released. Bigham has never been arrested since the trial. The bond was $1,500. Avant':- having been increased to $3,000. Where Bigham is is not known here. He is said to have been in Greenville.
