Bigham, Alleged Slayer
OF Family, Faces His
Second Trial Thursday

CONWAY, S. c., Sept. 23.-Ed-
mund D. Bigham, of Florence coun-
ty, alleged slayer of five members
of his family, was brought here Mon
day from Florence, S. c., and is
scheduled to come to trial a second
time when his case is called in the
circuit court here Thursday.
Bigham was convicted Of the muir
der Of L. Smiley Bigham, His brother,
in January, 1921, and sentenced to
death, but the eiectrocution was
stayed by an appeal to the supreme
court which granted him a new
trial.
Judge II. r. Rice today signed an
order directing the sheriff to go to
Florence and return with the pris-
oner. The sheriff was expected to
arrive late today with Bigham, who
will be placed in the Horny county
jail.
Mrs. L. S. Bigham, Sr., mother Of
Edmund Bigham, for whose murder
he is also under Indictment; her SON.
Smiley Bigham; her daughter, Mrs.
Marjorie Black and the latter's two
small adopted children, were found
slain at their home in January, 1921
Edmund Bigham was subsequently
indicted for the murder Of each slain
member Of the family. The state
elected to try him for the murder
of Smiley and secured a conviction.
The jury returned a verdict of
guilty without recommendation to
mercy which carries with it the
death penalty.
New trial was granted, however,
by the supreme court and a change
Of venue was granted to Horny coun-
ty with Conway, S. c., as the des-
ignated place for the trial.

Governor Withdraws
Death Warrant in
Florida Murder Case

TALLAHASSEE Fla, Sept. pa
Governor Hardee Monday recalled
the death warrant issued several
days ago for the execution of Rich
mond McLendon, of Palm Beach
county, convicted Of first degree
murder. The warrant called for exc
cution during the week beginning
September 20.
The action was taken following re-
ceipt by the supreme court of mo-
ton for an order superced1ng the
judgment and sentence of the cir
cult court of Palm Beach county.
Counsel for the condemned man were
notified, however, by the clerk of the
supreme court that the transcript
of the record in the case as received
did not bear the impression of the
seal of the circuit court and there
fore no properly certified transcript
had been received and nothing for the
motion or order of stay of super
cedas had been received to act upon.
It was claimed in the motion, as
received, that when MeLendon took
out a writ of error to the supreme
court there was a failure to endorse
on the writ any order Of supercedeas
and that the governor is proceeding
TO order McLendOn to be executed at
the appointed time unless the SUI
preme court or some judgment there
of shall make an appropriate order
superceding such action.

Cured as the latter was feeding the
animal late Saturday. Suddenly the
beasts hair bristled; it's eyes took
on a maddened glare, and before Mr..
Camp could escape from the cage the
yellowish fangs had sunk into his
right hand, badly Wounding the
member.
The laceration necessitated first aid
treatment at the Grady hospital, but
no further precautions were taken
at the time; it was supposed the
wolf was suffering merely from
sudden burst Of bad temper. But on
Monday the animal died and eXami-
nation revealed it had been suffering
from the rabies.
Mr.. Camp took anotfer-a hurried
"trip to Grady hospital, this time to
