ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVI OMULIG FAVORITES HI THE . voting ii caumr Present Officials Swaitip Opponents in Cabarrus. —Long Received Ma jority of About 900. MT. PLEASANT VOTE SURPRISE Reynolds Received More Votes There Than in Any Precinct.—Brittain Got 27 Votes. Robert R. Reynolds and B. F. Brit tain offered little opposition in Ca bnrrus county to Senator Lee S. Ov erman and Zeb V, Long, respectively, in the primary hold Saturday. The total vote for the county shows both Senator 'Overman and Solicitor I.ong piling up such leads that the content in Cabarrus developed into a rout. The total vote was as follows: Ov erman 800, Reynolds 143; Long 024, Brittain 27. In severnl of tbe precincts in the county Reynolds and Brittain failed to score and in several others they received but one vote. Both got his largest vote in Xo. 8 township, Mt. Pleasant, Reynolds getting 34 votes and Brittain 9 votes. The Mt. Pleasant vote offered the only unusual circumstances in the primary. Due to the fnct that Sen ator Overman's brother lived in Mt. Pleasant for a number of years friends of the senator expected his opponent to gft few votes there. The \a>te was: Overman 73, Reynolds 34 Long 07, Brittnin 0. In Concord and Kannapolis Over man and Long were big favorites, each of the precincts in Pae two cities giv ing the winners big majorities. Reports from various parts of the state show that Senator Overman was nominated by a vote of almost 2 to 1. In the fifteenth judicial district 84 precincts out of 114 gave Long 0.210 and Brittain 1,515. It has been re ported that Mr. Long carried Ran dolph county, home of Mr. Brittain, by 800 and Mr. Brittain's own pre cinct by more than 200. Twenty-three votes were cast by Re publicans for Mr. Pool, their candi dates for Congress. He did not tile properly with the State board of elec tions so had to furnis'n his own bal lots, which were distributed in small numbers in the county. He received 7 votes in Xo. 2 township, Precinct One, 4 votes in Ward One, Precinct One, 1 votes in Ward 2 and the re mainder in various other precincts, olds 0, Long 12, Brittain 1. Due to the fact that no local con tests were to be decided by the voting and that no local man was being voted for. it is felt the vote in the county was n good one. The vote by townships follows: No. I—Overman 13, Reynolds 0. Long 13. Brittain 0.. Xo. 2, Box I—Overman 0. Reynolds 1. Long 0: Brittain 1. Xo. 2. Box 2—Overman 7. Reyn olds 1, Long 7, Brittain 1.

Jtr-V - ■ V Ross Family Refuses To Accept Dellinger As Missing Relative ♦ BIGHAM'S THIRD TRIAL Twice Convicted Slayer of His Family of Five to Again Face Trial (By International News Service) Florence, S. C.. June 7.—Stoeism, which hns marked Edmund I). Big ham's five years of "living death" un der the shadow of the electric chair, today had waned into mingled (lope and anxiety. For this week the twice convicted slayer of his family of five again I will get a chance to prove to a jury that he is innocent of the wholesale slaughter of which he is accused. Bighorn's third trial will begin June 10th in Horry county circuit court. From bis cell in the Florence coun ty jail, the prisoner, jailed after his long confinement while his counsel waged the longest legal battle on South Carolina court records to save ! him from his doom, said today that 1 lie only wanted "to get through with' it all." "I am innocent—ntid they, can’t' send an innocent man to the chair,” fie cried vehemently. Having twice heard the death sen tence fail from the lips of a judge, and seen hope after iiope deferred by the higher courts. Bigham's third trial probably will write "finis” to his long court career. He will either by convicted again or gain bis free dom. according to a concensus of le gal opinion in tin's section. The five members of t'lie Bighnm household were found dead from pis tol bullets January 15, 1021. The bodies were strewn over the premises of the Florence county plantation, nil dead apparently from the same gun. The dead were: Mrs. M. M. Bighnm, the defendant's aged mother; Mrs. Margie Black, a sister, and tier two little adopted boys. John and Lee Me- j Crncken. The body of Smiley Big-1 ham, Edmund's brother, was found j dead or dying in a ravine near the home the next day, a pistol grasped loosely in his right hand. The State contends that Edmund Bighnm killed li|s family to become sole heir to the Bighriii estate, which, at the time, was said to have been valued at around $75,000. Bigtiam, offering an alibi, maintains that ns he drove up to the homestead on the fatal day. he saw his mother strug gling across the road, blood streaming down her face, and as she gasped a dying breath that “Smiiey did it,” he caught her in bis arms. Edmund is the last of the three j Bighnm brothers, all of whom have had court careesr in South Carolina. While the whereabouts of Cleveland Bighnm, once a prominent physician, are unknown, lie is generally believed to be dead. He became a fugitive after having been convicted of man slaughter in the killind of his wife near Murrel’s Inlet. His brother Smiley—oue of tlie victims in the 1021 slaughter—was also accused of various crimes. Salisbury Woman Dies of Ptomaine Poisoning. Salisbury, June s.—Mrs. H. J.

'Says He Does Not Care 1 i i Anything About Getting Money From Wealthy Ross Family. New York. June 7.— G4>) —The half century old mystery of the kidnap ping of Charlie Iloss was under a re ( vived cross fire of claims and denials of solution today. i Mrs. Pierre Starr, of New York. 1 presented in a newspaper today a ' claim that she had found the missing | Kosk in the person of a rugged South - enter who had adopted the name of I I W. C. McHale. Mrs. Starr claimed to be a cousin of.the late 'Christian K. Ross, of (lermanlown. Pa., wealthy .! father of the child kidnapped In * 1874. Mrs. Starr brought the man l she claims is Charlie Ross to New > York from the mountains of North ■ Carolina. Members of the Ross family now living in Philadelphia immediately , branded her story as ridiculous. Wai ter L. Ross, a brother of the kidnap p<*d boy. said : “She, is an imposter and this is not the first time she has tried the same triek.” McHale. or Julius (Vieman Dell in-1 ger, as he was also known in North j Carolina, declared he wanted no mon ey but only his birthright, ami sa : d I j he knew he had been abducted as a j I child. He told of having been enr ‘jried through the South in his youth by a wandering tinker and gunsmith who went by various names. This man. McHale said, admitted to him that he was not liis father and promised some day to tell him who he was, but died without fulfilling his promise. One of the theories of Char lie Ross’ abduction was that he had been carried off by peddlers. Two such men on whom suspicion was settled were caught ami fatally wounded while robbing a house. (hu» .of them said the other could solve t&e Charlie Ross mystery- Both died of gunshot wounds before telling anything. Christian K. Ross spent $60,000 in searching for the boy before he died ; n 1807. In a book about the search he said some 300 children had been put forward as his son. Since his death the solution of the mystery has been claimed many times, but each claim proved without foundation. Mrs. Starr said she had affidavits from many persons who had known the present claimant since boyhood, telling of incidents which coincided with the few clues unearthed after the kidnapping.
