AND LA SALLE BANK TO BE PROBED Relations between the Rosehill Cemetery Co. and the defunct La Salle Street Bank to be probed by the state's attorney's office. Charles B. Munday was vice pres ident of the bank and treasurer of the Rosehill Co.

Downstate bankers interested in Mundays banks made poor witnesses before the state's attorney.
