MUST SERVE TERMS Slayers of Former's Wife Denied New Trial. WHERE IS DR. BIGHAM? The Defendants' Bond are $1,000 ami $8,000 Respectively? lteniittltur Comics Bonn In Ten Days. Columbia, April 20.?For the killing Of Mrs. Ruth Crisp Bighatn, at Mur rell'8 Inlet, in the early evening of September 4, lOOfl. (i. C. Bigham, the husband of the victim, and \V. B. Avant, his close friend, must serve 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 court being affirmed. In accordance with the rule of court, the defendants, now out on bail, will be brought here when the remittitur is handed down in ten days. It is not known bore whether there will arise any further complica tions as to the arrest of the men. In Georgetown, where the trial was held, the case throughout lias created great interest and the lei a. stops have been closely watched. A more mysteri ous killing was never known in the history of the county, nor perhaps :n the whole State. Refusing tin? motion of the solicitor to dismiss the appeal on gro.nids ol nonperfeeting of the same, tho su preme court. In an opinion written ' by Eugene B. Gary, A. J., goes Into the merits of the case. The court, however, considers fully tho question of technicalities involved In Solicitor Well's eon ten ion as to the appeal, lodge Watts, at the time of granting bail to tho defendants, wrote out an order inserting these words: "Notice of intention to appeal having been giv en." This was the bone of contention before the supreme court. Attorney Rndgsdale claiming thai this consti tuted notice. The court says: "It will thus bo seen that the service of notice in writing, on the solicitor, of an intention to ap peal was a prerequisite of the grant ing of ball. The order or his Honor, .lodge Watts, sliows that there was compliance with this requirement" The court then points out thai the question is whether the solicitor's af fidavits attacking tho verity of this recital should bo considered. Citini; authorities the court concludes: "111 ease of an iusullicient service of notice, If the court decides the ques tion of jurisdiction erroneously, the judgment will be voidable, but binding until reversed on appeal. The motion to dismiss the appeal Is thoroforo re fused.'' Taking up the question of the 'tests" referred to frequently in a llscusslon of this case, the court says that the question' of whether or not testimony of this character is admlssnblo de pends upon the discretion of tho pre siding judge and "in the case under consideration it lias not been made to appeal- that Iiis discretion was abused." As to the testimony of .1 n. Murchlnson about the newspaper accounts of the affair, the court says that the ruling of the question along this line as irrelevant was correct and 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 witli respect to the guilt of tho defendants under tlie guise of cross-examination. On the question of whether a line of cross-examination could be conducted as to the testimony at the coroner's Inquest, tho court says that tin's, too, should lie lof( to the discretion of the presiding judge. The crime for which Dr. O. C, Mig ham and \V. B. 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 rel 1*8 Inlet, twenty-five miles from Georgetown, last September. Out on the beach Mrs. Hicham was walking at dusk ami 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 at 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 ed was never brought out. The two men were friends. Bigham being a vis itor to "Sunnyslde," the Avant home on the Inlet. There were no witness es to the killing. Several persons heard the shot, however, and these testified. The jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter and the men were sen tenced to three and half years in the penitentiary. After the trial there were complications abOUt whether or not the men could be arrested until the appeal was argued. Avant was brought here to the penitentiary, hut was later released. Uighnm 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.
