MISS B1aGAR sURRENDERs.
She Insisted on Becoming Prisoner
of Sheriff

Freehold, N. j., Nov. 4.-Miss Laura
Biggar, for whom a warrant was issued
for attempt at fraud in connection with
the will of the late Millionaire Henry NJ.
Bennett, experienced considerable difficult
ty in gaining admission to the County
Jail when she appeared at the sheriff s
office and announced that she desired to
surrender herself.
The difficulty arose over the fact that
the warrants was in the hands of a con-
stable at Asbury Park and the sheriff de-
clined to take the responsibility of lock-
ing the would-be prisoner up until the
document had been formally served on
her.
Miss Biggar, finding the sheriff obdu-
rate. insisted on waiting in the witness
room of the Jail until the constable ar
rived with the warrant. When the sher-
IFS scruples had been removed. he con-
scented to receive Miss Biggar as a pris-
oner.
Counsel for Miss Biggar said that since
the accusation was laid against her she
had been living in New York. She would
not she said, accept bail so long as 1t was
not forthcoming for Hendricks and Stan
ton. 1t is understood that no indictment
has yet been found against Miss Biggar
