EDMUND BIGHAM WINS
STEP IN LEGAL FIGHT
To AVOID DEATH CHAIR
Seemingly Hopeless Cause of
Condemned Man May Yet
Triumph Over Verdict
LONG TIME IN COURTS
Leslie Man. Under Sentence of
Death, Nav Get New Trial
in Carolina

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 20
Edmund d. Bigham won another
step in his fight against the cleo
trio chair when the state Supreme
court granted motion of his at
torneys that he be permitted to
file a motion in Florence circuit
court asking for new trial on the
ground of newly discovered evil
dence.
The action of the Supreme
Court which already has had the
case before it five times and
which has ruled against Bigham in
every instance heretofore, does
not mean that the bower court
must grant Bigham a new trial but
merely grants him the right to ap-
pear before the court and attempt
to convince it that he has grounds
for a new trial.
Bigham was convicted of slay-
ing his brother, Smiley Bigham.
He also is accused of staying sew
eral other members of his family.
He formerly lived at Leslie, Ga,
and was visiting relatives in Flor
ence, when the crime for which he
is under sentence was committed.
