When Chief U.S. District Judge Francis J. Boyle issued a court order in 1985 forbidding the newspaper to publish certain information about Raymond J. Patriarca Jr., reputed head of organized crime in New England, the newspaper published a story containing that information.Metcalf defended the newspaper’s action, saying it was ″the exercise of the fundamental right to free speech, a right which we felt sincerely was being enjoined unconstitutionally by the judge’s order.″The newspaper and its executive editor, Charles McCorkle Hauser, were held in contempt, but that finding was overturned on appeal.
