Judge Crathorne almost married Elizabeth Collins Stoddard to Jason McGuire. Before the wedding ceremony began, he commented that he hadn't seen Roger Collins at the club recently, and mentioned Elizabeth's first marriage to Paul Stoddard. Once Elizabeth halted the ceremony and revealed the truth about Paul Stoddard's death and Jason blackmailing her over it, Crathorne promptly left, in case he was called to officiate at any trial that might occur.
