After entering 1924, something significant happened at the beginning of the year.
Adolf Ochs of The New York Times couldn't hold on anymore!
Since last year, the lawsuit against The New York Times initiated by Sinclair Oil Corporation and Pandora Oil Company had already begun, and at that time, Donnie personally pleaded with William Howard Taft to find every possible way to prolong the trial.
On the other hand, Adolf Ochs was also doing everything he could to shorten the trial duration.
Thus, Adolf Ochs had been fervently reaching out to his connections for this matter, even resorting to cash bribes to bring the lawsuit to a swift conclusion.
By the end of 1923, Adolf Ochs had abandoned any hope of winning the case—he just wanted the trial to end!
He had accepted the possibility of losing!
Unfortunately, by now, even if Adolf Ochs wanted to concede, it was no longer possible.
The team of elite lawyers he had hired had now become a double-edged sword.
Want to surrender?
