New Receiver Takes Over Commercial Bank
John D. Biggs was named Wednesday as receiver for the closed Commercial National Bank. He said he has not yet familiarized himself with the bank and a local attorney will handle legal work. Depositor dividends are uncertain and likely after the 90 day claims period. Examiners and Biggs reviewed the bank's status as Charles Motter departs for Richmond. Biggs has directed liquidations of several North Carolina banks. Clarence Johnson requests clarification that he is not the municipal court defendant.
