night and large part of the Sunday
school room was used to take care of
the large congregation which came to
hear DR.. Walkers sermon on "The
Second Coming of Christ" DR.. Walker
used chart to present the scripture
teachings on the subject and stressed
the fact that Christ is coming back to
earth again, and the further fact that
no one knows when he is coming. He
nightly stressed the logical inference
that we ought always to strive to be
ready for his coming, whenever it may
be. 1t was a great message and was
received with intense interest by the
large audience.
The day congregations are crafty
ingly large and the interest through
out has been deep and sustained. The
meeting will close on Thursday morn.

BIGHAM'S COUNSEL
ASK new TRIAL

Florence, June 5.-In the court Of
general sessions here today A. l..
King, attorney for Edmund d. Big
nam, gave notice of an appeal for a
new trial on the ground of alleged
after discovered evidence. Judge S.
w. G. Shipp set Friday 20 hear the
motion. The after discovered evi-
dence is in the shape of letters alleged
to have been written by l.. S. Bigham
to his brother, Edmund, while the lat
ter was in Georgia, and it is contend
ed by the defense they will tend to
show that Smiley Bigham killed his
mother and sister and the latter's two
children and then himself, the killing
of Smiley Bigham being the crime for
which Edmund has been convicted and
sentenced to death.
Formal notice was given by the de-
fense this morning TO l.. NJ. Gasuue
socilitor of the court of the approach
ing contest. At the same time, the
defense files with him a copy of the
letters, affidavits and other data
which will be offered to the court as
after discovered evidence. Mendel l..
Smith of Camden is expected to assist
the defense in arguing the motion ror
new tarial.
Chet among the letters, all of which
are contended by the defense to have
been written by Smiley at Pamplico
to Edmund in South Georgia, is the
following:
Brother and Maggie had the two
signed deeds that had disappeared in
their possession. Causing trouble
seems to be their pleasure. They took
the money that the post office depart
ment has me charged with and were
the cause of Cleveland running Oft,

poison Leatha'S child after her death

decided to kill the last one of them
and leave no one to tell the tale.
ain WIlIllS lniS 10 explain why l
did this act. You will never see me
again alive"
(Signed) IL. S. Bigham."
This letter is one of a series which
it is alleged were written during the
summer and the early fall of 1929
leading up to the return of Edmund
to Pamplico in the fall of that year.
This particular letter does not bear
any date though all the others bear
dates through June, July and August,
possibly some of them being in Sep
tember. Also, all of them are type
written and signed in ink.
At the same time, the defense is Of
fering number of affidavits, which
would tend to substantiate the letters
and the statements contained in them.
Some Of these affidavits relate to the
genuinencss Of the signature.
