McCrillis Trial Highlights Revenue Scandal Details
In a dramatic courtroom recounting, the government’s case accuses McCrillis of extensive embezzlement from the Internal Revenue Service. Testimony describes missing funds, falsified forms, and a scheme spanning Lowell to Gloucester with funds kept for personal use. The defense portrays McCrillis as overworked and maligned while the prosecutor accuses him of repeated deceit and improper conduct.
Plaintiff's Plea in Libel Suit Against McCrillis
Ex congressman William S. Knox frames the case defending McCrillis, arguing the articles libeled him by branding him dishonest after a 31 month tenure as deputy internal revenue collector. He notes a $193 misaccounting amid $70,000 in collections and questions the stories about Legasse House and drinking habits. Jurors deliberated, with a verdict expected when court reopened.
