that Smiley showed he was deadly
in earnest and under stress enough
to carry out his threats. Mr.. Miller
did not volunteer this information and
affidavit to the defense, but the in
formation came through another
source and Mr.. King hunted him up.
Also there is an affidavit from Jim
Cain, brother of Began Cain, who
married the sister Of Edmund and
Smiley Bigbam. He relates that just
after Edmund had returned, he met
Mrs. Margery Black, the murdered
sister, and she told him, "Oh yes We
had to send for Edmund to come back
for protection" from Smiley, whom
he swears was addicted to the use OF
intoXicants and in his sprees was
very dangerous.
Bigham was brought back to Flor
ence Saturday afternoon. He is now
in the Florence county jail. When
called upon by Times reporter, Ed
mund said:
"Well, 1 am like the little boy was
when the calf run over him-I don't
believe I've got anything to say"
On being reminded of the interviews
which had been published in Colum-
bia papers from him, he said they
had reported a lot of things which
he never knew of till he read the
papers. He is looking in the prime
of health. If he has worried over
his sentence of death, he does not
show it.
The finding of the. letters was ex-
planned for the first time in the af-
fidavit of Mrs. May Bigham, wife of
Edmund. She related that they had
been packed in their furniture when
they moved from Georgia to Pampli-
CO. They were never unpacked till
the furniture later was shipped to
Taylors, in Greenville county. There,
in casual cleaning up of the furniture,
she found these letters last winter
and sent them to Mr.. King.
Mr.. King said this morning that
Edmund had told him, during the
trial, Of those letters, but that they
he'd been unable to find them and
therefore did not mention them to
the court. The letters were not TAX
en- care of and happened to survive
merely through chance than for any
other reason, as Edmond says in an
affidavit. All the letters reflect a
muddled condition of affairs at the
Bigham home near Pamplico about
the time they were written.
Most likely the order of this case
will be for the motion for new trial
to be made before the court resen-
tences the defendant. In case of de-
NAL it will be appealed, presumably.
Should the court elect to resentence
the prisoner first, as is not likely,
the motion would have the effect OF
staying the order of execution by the
court. In either procedure, quite
likely, unless the court grants new
trial, whether Bigham must be cleo
trocuted or will get new trial u26er
order of the supreme court, wi not
be settled for several months.
After receiving the notice the

new trial, the soliei Immediately
