FARMERS SEE SHIP
EMERGE FROM DAWN
The haze broke away from their
tops, the rays of the morning sun
rippling in long lines like a new
plowed field. Banks of clouds lay
heavy in the valleys, the reddish
dirt roads looking like ribbons
among the green far below inter
lacing hill tops and hidden valleys.
In some of the scattered homes of
• the hills, farmers entire -families
gathered and in the early morning
wagons driving to the towns while
tiie occupants gazed aloft as the
sill' emerged from the dawn. To
wards dawn the head wind which
till- ship had been bucking, died
down and while the ship’s speed
through the air and the speed of
its motors did not change. Its speed
nv r ttie ground increased from 35
to 45 miles due to the dying out of
the wind.
Tiie course which was laid to At
lanta is about equal in distance to
flight from Lakehurst to Chicago.
, With gale winds a year ago the
Shenandoah speeded back from
Chicago to its New Jersey hangar
at a speed of 85 mi’es an hour.
Utad winds stretched the Atlanta
vovage to near 20 hours.
Dallas, Texas, should be crossed
in the early evening and the moor

SYRACUSE, N. Y.—John W. Da
vis, democratic nominee for presi
dent, began Wednesday the last lap
of his drive In western New York
state, leaving here for a noon-day
speaking engagement in Rochester
and Jhe final address of the tour
Wednesday night in Buffalo. He
described his visits to Schenectady,
Albany, Utica, and here as “parti
cularly encouraging” and toM mem
bers of his party he now was en
tirely confident the November ver
dict would be favorable to the dem
ocratic national and state tickets.
Mr. Davis devoted several hours
to drafting his Buffalo
address and studying data for use
on his forthcoming tour of middle
west states. From now until the
the closing of the campaign he is
expected to stress issues dealing
with the republican foreign policy,
tariff, the record of the Harding
and Coolidge administrations and
legislative acts of congress since
1920, not omitting plain statements
on such matters as the Daugherty
and Fall exposures as made by the
special senate investigating com

SHANGHAI. — The forces of Chang

according to a Japanese report from

Bigham Again
Sentenced To
Die; Attorney
to File Appeal
October 31 Set As Date of
Execution, But Notice of
Appeal Stays Sentence.
Defendant Makes Remark
able Oration to Court
CONWAY, S. C.—For a third time,
Edmund D. Bigham, Florence County
man, was sentenced Tuesday to pay
the death penalty for murder In con
nection with the slayiftg of five mem
bers of the Bigham family nearly four
years ago. A Jury of Horry County
farmers found him guilty of the mur
der of his brother, Smiley, after de
liberating two and one-half hours,
and Judge Hayne F. Rice set Octo
ber 31st as the date of the execution.
Notice of intention to appeal again
to the state supreme court, given by
A. L. King, of defense counsel will,
however, automatically stay execution
of the sentence pending action upon
the appeal.
“I AM INNOCENT”
HE TELLS COURT
"I am Innocent, gentlemen, as In
nocent as a new-born baby,” declared
Bigham, who made a remarkable ora
tion to the court. The composure
that marked his demeanor from the
opening of the trial twelve days ago,
the iron nerve that enabled him to
look upon the bullet-scarred skull of
his mother, offered as evidence
against him, did not desert the 39-
year-old defendant In this latest of
the efimes that has marked his long
fight for life. In a clear and unim
passioned voice ha called upon God
to witness his protestation of inno
cence and then charged Phillip H.
Arrowsmith, of Florence associate
prosecutor, with having bribed the
state's witnesses to bear false wit
ness against him.
Besides his brother, Bigham was in
dicted for murdering his mother, Mrs.
M. M. Bigham, his sister, Mrs. Mar
gie Black, and Leo and John Mc-
Cracken, adopted sons of Mrs. Black.
The defense contended that the
tragedy which occurred at the Big
ham plantation near Pampllce in
Florence County on January 15, 1921,
was the work of Smiley Bigham, who.
it was alleged had shown signs of
being mentally unbalanced. Edmund
attempted to prove an alibi In his
own defense.
The jury returned its verdict at
12:45 o'clock. Bigham, sitting alone
in the prisoner's dork, looked toward
the foreman as the latter handed the
verdict to the clerk of court.
SLIGHT SURPRISE
ONLY REACTION
“Guilty,” read the clerk.
A barely perceptible expression of
surprise seemed to cross the face of
the defendant, already white from
long months of confinement. There
was no other reaction visible, his
countenance returning quickly to the
calm he had manifested throughout
the trying days of the last two
weeks.
The wife and daughters of the de
fendant. who had sat with him dur
ing court every day, and who testi
fied in his behalf, were not present
when the Jury announced its verdict,
having left the courtroom about an
hour earlier. Neither did they return
for the afternoon session when sen
tence was Imposed. In the one and
one-half hours between the rendering
of the verdict and the reconvening of
court, Bigham went to dinner as
usual at the county jail with a de
puty as his escort. After his return
from dinner he talked with his at
torneys and with spectators standing
and sitting near him.
The crowd in the courtroom fell into
a deep silence, unbroken except by
the crying of an Infant In a nearby
room when Judge Rice began to
write the death sentence out In long
hand. Women- and children, many
schoolboys and schoolgirls were con
spicuous In the throng that gazed
cvuriously upon the doomed man, who
sat unshaken as the Judge's pen
scratched out the line* that blasted
once more his hopes of escaping the
penalty twice before passed upon
him.
While It was the third time Bigham
had heard the death sentence Im
posed upon himself, It was the first
time In Judge Rice’s experience of
thirteen yearg on the bench that he
had Imposed the extreme penalty. It
was also the first time a man had

Augusta people will be interested in learning that the giant di
rigible, “Shenandoah", queen of Uncle Sam's air fleet, now on her
way aloft from mooring mast at Lakehurst, N. J., to the Pacific
Coast, is built from a model made by Harry Frost, aon of Mr. and

sachusetts Institute of Technology, at Boston.
Associated with Mr. Frost in constructing the model of the
Shenandoah were Dr. Paul Herman, his engineering partner, and
ITof. Burgess of the M. I. T. The model was built of celluloid, $5,000
worth of this material being used in the construction. In conpectlpn
with the model of the giant airship, photo-elasticity used in testing
the strength and power of all kinds of building material was invent
ed and sold to the government by Mr. Frost and his partner. This
method was irsed In determining the strength of the materials used
in building the Shenandoah. The model of the airship as built by

Obtains Divorce to Enable
His Wife to Wed Another In
“Perfect Passionate Love”
CHICAGO.—To enable his wlfa to
marry another man for whom she
confessed a "perfect passionate love”
and with whom she was said In evi
dence to have been living In Evans
ton, Ills., for more than a year, Dr.
Alfred Lawrence Hall-Quest, director
of the University of Pittsburgh ex
tension work and noted lecturer, has
obtained a divorce.
Every precaution was taken to
guard the name of the man, the cul
tured love letters telling of her In
fatuation for him having been copied
into the record with his name care
fuly deleted. In her letters the wife
pleaded for her freedom so Jhat
"social laws might sanction" her life
with the other man, for whom she
said she was ready to "give up every
thing else in the world."
After the signing of the decree
here by Judge Harry A. Lewis, every
effort was made to shield Dr. Hall-
Quest from publicity and precautions
were taken to prevent the proceedings
becoming public. Dr. Hall-Quest
forty years old, was educated at
Princeton. He married Miss Shirley
Ivy Knox, of Minnesota in 1908. In
Mr. Frost and his partner was of the entire superstructure, gas bag
and inside frame work, and was constructed In a cellar used by
them in Boston.
Mr. Frost is 23 years old. He has been away from his home at
Hephzibah for about ten years, and served over seas ns a first lieu
tenant with the regular army of Uncle Sam In the great World War.
He was graduated from the M. I. T, In 1921 with the degree of Chem
ical Engineer, and on his graduation was elected to a professor
ship in the school. In addition to his association wltn the Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology Mr. Frost Is associated with his
partner. Doctor Heyman, In the chemical engineering profession.
The two men spent all of the past summer abroad on professional
work, and are now under contract with the Zeppelin Company of
Germany for work in this line. Just the nature of the contract they
hold with the German organization Is not disclosed at this time,
but It has to do with the construction of airships.

a professor at Columbia, she left his
home In Cincinnati and came to Chi
cago with the other man.
A few days after the elopement
she wrote to Hall-Quest a letter
which was Introduced as evidence in
which she said;
"I wanted to show you, If possible,
that my going away with was
necessary, not because It meant a
consummation of the love that Is be
tween us but because it offered a* we

"That public scandal should be
avoided for your sake I can quite
realize, but and I can and must
take all of the blarne that attaches
to our decision to live together and
therefore no secrecy was even con
templated when we left."
Other letters portrayed her hope
that freedom would bring ease of
