with the st Louis Trust company as
surety. The first step OF the receiver will
be to have the board of directors deed
over 70 him all property owned outside
Of the jurisdiction OF the court. There
IS some real estate in Chicago which
might be attached by Illinois creditors
while the title rests with the bank. Once
In the hands OF the receiver all proceed
ings against it would stop. Many of the
deposi;ors are angry over the acceptance
by the bank officers of deposits after they
krew of its insolvency.
such action said Assistant Attorney
General Jeffr,es today. lis in direct vio-
Iatiop of the law, and criminal prose

ceiver, that they were aware OF the
banks insolvency, so that IL appears TO
be a plain case. The duty OF action,
however, devolves upon the circuit attor-

matter may be called 10 their attention
by the receiver IL he sees flt."
