Returning to her home at Mountville,
after leaving college, she met and
soon after welded DR.. S. G. Bigham,
who was at the time practicing his
profession in her home community.
The marriage took place at Mount
Vile; the couple soon returned to DR..
Bigham's former home In Florence
county.
In the summer just past, Mrs. Big
ham visited her old home, the scenes
of her girlhood. Upon requests from
her husband she returned to Florence
county; soon they together went on
the ill-fated visit to Murrel's Inlet,
a summer home for many families.
They occupied a front room at "Sun-
nyside," the home Of the Avants.
Murrel's Inlet.
Murrel's Inlet is resort about rs
miles up the coast from Georgetown.
Here a great many people, particu-
larly residents of Marion, own cot
tages and there reside during the
summer months. Many Of them run
down" for few days, and as it hap
pened, most of the witnesses to the
shocking tragedy had just arrived on
Saturday afternoon, September 4.
Murrel's Inlet is about mile and a
half from the ocean, on a creek or
bay; the tides come and 60 there.
The residents often bathe in this
creek or bay, and it developed that
Mrs. Bigham had on her bathing suit,
over which she wore long rain coat
belonging to Mr.. Avant.
The beach at Murrel's Inlet Is
somewhat in the shape of crescent,
the houses built facing the beach.
Down where the tide water comes
and goes is yellow stretch Of sand,
back of which toward the houses Is
a growth of grass, foot possibly In
height. From the sides of Sunny
side" run two fences, reaching the
waters edge; there Is now no public
road along the beach, although many
walk up and down, climbing over the
fences, which are not high. When
Mrs. Bigham, or the thing" passed
round the corner Of "Sunnyside" and
went towards the beach, she was on
what was termed a "private path. |"
She proceeded to the water front
and the men-Bigham and Avant-
on the porch as she passed suspected
foul Intentions" got gun and fol-
lowed the figure. According to the
statement, the figure, when reached
by them, was sitting on the beach,
possibly 80 feet from the waters
edge, on the sand beach, having pass
ed beyond the grass line. And there
in the twilight of peaceful Septem-
Der evening was snuffed out the life
of a young woman, only about %
years old, and bride Of not two
years.
Must I shoot?" said Avant.
Shoot" said Bigham, and there
with the guns barrel within a few
steps of the victim was fired the shot
which cost life and which placed
the lives of two young men in the
hands of IL of their peers.
Murrel's Inlet, a beautiful spot,
the haven for the weary, thus became
the scene Of such woe. Only the
kindly waters have washed away the

JURYMEN OF CHARACTER.
The Twelve Who Convicted Avant
and Bigham.

Georgetown, Oct. 23.-At this
time, when the jury question is occu-
pying 80 much attention in this State
and calling forth so many and such
varied expressions regarding the sys-
tenn, usually with such vigorous criti-
cism on the incompetency Of the
average juror, it might not be amiss
to remark that from all outward ap-
pearances the jury who are sitting In
the case of the State against Avant
and Bigham, now on trial in the coun-
ty Of Georgetown, are far above the
average in intelligence and general
equipment for jury service. The ma
jority Of those called we're sworn on
their voir dire and the answers to
Judge Watts questions indicated
their ability and general fitness.
Some had talked Of the case to
friends and few having formed and
expressed definite and decided opin-
ions were excused. The State ex-
hausted it's five objections, while the
defense exercised the right In IA
cases out of its 20. It is generally
conceded that the prosecution erred
in allowing cousin Of one Of the de-
PENDANTS to be sworn; there are pre-
dictions, Of course, Of mistrial be-
cause of this fact, although no one
has knowledge Of this jurors atti-
tude. It was current comment that
the jury, as a whole, was an excellent
one. They are: F. D. Rover, fore
man; L. c. Lachicotte, Jr., J. ].
Gowd, F. M. Gowd, A. J. Young, c.
L. Ford, F. L. Sion, J. G. Carroway,
VIM. P. Blake, I. Meg. Carroway,
Chas. E. Holiday, E. D. Croft.
In the Court Room.
Among those present throughout
the first day of the trial were: Mr..
NJ. B. Crisp, of Mountville, Laurens
county, father OF Mrs. Bigham, the
slain woman; Mr.. A. B. Crisp, of
Heardmont, Ca, and Eugene Crisp,
Of Clinton, Mr.. Sidney Crisp, Of Gro
yer, N. c., Mr.. M. L. Crisp, Of Whit
mire, all brothers Of the deceased;
Messrs. J. J. Dendy, B. A. Wharton,
S. NJ. Pearce and S. D. Childress, Of
Laurens; Messrs. l.. 8. and E. D. Big
ham, of Florence county; Mrs. Big
ham, mother of DR.. Bigham; and the
six witnesses from Marion county,
who were at Murrel's Inlet on the
day of the tragedy.
Both the defendants are rather
young and boyish in their appear
ance. DR.. Bigham is small of stature,
rather heavy set, auburn hair, full,
round face, apparently about 2S
years of age. Mr.. Avant is still
younger, possibly 26, taller, light
haired, and of medium build. Both
deported themselves with apparent
realization of the seriousness of their
situation. During most of the day
they leaned to one side, head and face
in hand, somewhat detected. Neither
showed any particular emotion at any
time, not even during Mr.. Bucks
graphic and realistic picture of the
dead woman on the beach and in the
room of the Avant home.
Mrs. Ruth Crisp Bigham.
Mrs. Bigham, the deceased, was the
daughter of Mr.. M. B. Crisp, of
Mountville, Laurens county. In 1907
