Senate hearing cites Hutcheson embezzlement of union funds
Senate investigators told by Robert F. Kennedy that William L. Hutcheson, late president of the Carpenter's Union, embezzled about $250,000 in union property and left it to heirs. His son Maurice Hutcheson sat in the witness chair as the inquiry questioned possible use of union funds to influence a Lake County Indiana grand jury probe and alleged ties with James R Hoffa. A separate Indianapolis grand jury charged Hutcheson with illegal profit on a land deal tied to highway rights of way.
