Williams, an old colored man, who lives on South Eighth street, reported to Chief ot Police John J. Fowler yesterday morning that he was rob bed ol if-T last night. The old man was oi t In? opinion that the money which wi's secured was taken bv Irs sister-in-law, Ma nnc Edge, and he furnished iniorniation for a warrant for her arrest. ..-The. paper was Is sued; during, the morning nnd it is proliab!" that the matter mar. come up for investigation at todays ses sion of recorder s court. Williams stated to Chief Fowler that he had $.10 in bills wrapped In a piece ot paper. He said that he concealed the money between the two mattresses on his bod last night. Tins morning when he awoke he failed to remove the money before dressing. Alter he had gotten. on his clothes he looked between the mat tresses. In the meantime according to Ins contention his sister-in-law had made up tho bed. Williams said that he searcher thoroughly between the mattresses for the money. When he did not find it he glanced under the bed and saw on the floor, the paper in which he had wrapped the money. He opened the paper and discovered that all the money but a $5 bill had been taken. The old man stated that as no one had been in the room but his sister-in-law, he felt confident she had taken the money.

The resignation of Judge J. Craw ford Biggs, which waa announced irom Durham last night, had not been received at the governor's offle at 1 o'clock this afternoon, though it will probably be received Borne time during the afternoon. The action of Judge Biggs, who-is hefcd in high esteem here, was a surprise.-;: ' No candidates for the place have been mentioned yet, it is thought. Governor Kitchln is out of ithe city land until he returns no appointment can be made. The Times'-. Dnrbam correspondent today suggested "ev eral names that had been mentioned for the place. lo Succeed Judge Bijfgs. Durham, Sept. 2 Before Judge Digg's resignation from ' the bench reached Governor Kitchln last night, the friends of Solicitor Sam Gattis of this, the ninth judicial district, of which Judge Biggs is the judge, and the friends of Ex-Senator H. W. Foushee were pressing their claims to other friends and these will be presented to Governor Kitchln in due time. . The resignation of Judge Bigga came as a great surprise to the peo ple here. He declared in an Inter view withyourcorrespondent yester day afternoon that he had been moved almost entirely by family considera tions, that he had now gone so far into the western counties that " it means being away from his family from forty to forty-five weeks In the year. . To ltesume Practice. Judge Biggs has had an eminent able career at the bar and on -the bench, going to the judgeship over Judge T. J. Shaw, of Greensboro in the election of 1906. , Since that time he has served only Ave years and Ins administration has been- of very marked ability. He is a fine lawyer and a great student. It Is'one oi the luckiest things that he can come back to Durham, resume prac tice and connect himself with the Trinity law department as professor . of law. That Institution -gains an able lawyer and one who will do its work perhaps better than any pos sible man. :i Judge Biggs has practiced seven and a half years here and was in structor in the law school at the slate university before coming here. He is a native of Granville county nnd went from there to the tate university. He was valedictorian of Ins class at the university and a member of the great football i team of tat period, 1893-92-91. Hei- is one of these fortunate men who do everything handsomely. . Durham's Choice. At this time the successor to Judge Ligg's cannot be guessed. The name of Judge K. H. Sykes of the record er :s court has been mentioned? fav orably, though one feels that If Durham presents a name. It will be that of Mr. Foushee.
