Banker Claims
'Payoff toGet
State Deposits
CHICAGO WV-A former Chicago
banker, who claims he was forced
out of business by ex-State Audi
tor Orville E. Hodge, has named
the men he said he "paid money"
to so he could get state funds de
posited in his three banks.
Henry J. Beutel told the U.S.
Senate Banking Committee yester
day he "donated" a total of $7,000
from 194a to mid-ir52. His banks
were cbsed in 1953 by Hodge, now
in prison for embezzling state
funis.
Beutel linked Gov. William G.
Stratton, then state treasurer, with
the "contributions," which Beutel
said he paid to two employes in
the treasurer's office and a Rock
Is'and. P1.. tinker.
Beutel identified the three men
as Jack A. flrovn, e'jpuvy illino s
stale treasurer 'rem 'i 1"""
Lester Klick of Springfield; and
Ray Osterman. Brisker', of tiie
Rock Island Bank and Trust Cc.
Osterman was treasurer for Strat
ton's 1952 gubernatorial campaign.
Stratton, a Republican, was
state treasurer until his election
as governor in 1952. Stratton's
name entered the hcarinys yester
day when Beutel said he saw
Stratton, then treasurer, about get
ting deposits in one of his banks.
Beutel said he visited Straton
when he was treasurer in June
1951. "He (Stratton I agreed to
give me $250,000 for the West Irv
ing Slate Bank."
Later. Beutel said, he was ap
proached by Klick and Osterman
for contributions ana .subsequent
ly sent Osterman $1,500 for "cam
paign purposes." Beutel said he
received in reply a letter datel
Dec. 1, 1951, thanking him and
adding: "Bill has been advised."
"Bill" was identified by Beutel
as Stratton.
