The Crusaders can't be entirely blamed in this, the trouble being the Cornell, Columbia, and Pennsylvania all won board to chase one of the circuit clouts out in Worcester.

Suits for foreclosures, taxes, wages, payments of all sorts piled up until he faced bankruptcy. He even lost the News to its former owner by foreclosure. Libel suits...
