STATE BANK CLOSED BY TOOMBS LOSSES Defunct Chicago Broker Was Former President of Illinois Institution. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, August 18.-The financial difficulties of Roy C. Toombs, Chicago broker and St. Louis insurance executive, have resulted in closing the State Bank & Trust Co. of Downers Grove, a suburb. Until his resignation last Wednesday Toombs was president of the bank. State Auditor Oscar Nelson ordered the bank closed following a meeting of its officals last night. He explained that steady withdrawals since Toombs' recent troubles in Chicago and St. Louis made the closing advisable. although he believed the bank to be in good condition. Bank examiners today began a review of the bank's assets, while Chicago police sought Toombs on a fugitive warrant from St. Louis, charging grand larceny of $85,000 from the International Insurance Co. of St. Louis. Alleged shortages in the insurance company. of which Toombs is president, and in his Chicago investment firm of Toombs & Daily, have put both concerns into receiverships.
