The St. Louis Globe-Democrat suspended publication indefinitely after a federal bankruptcy judge said that he would appoint a trustee on Monday to operate the 133-year-old newspaper in place of Publisher Jeffrey M. Gluck. Judge David P. McDonald had been asked to appoint the trustee by a group of 14 former Globe-Democrat employees who filed an involuntary bankruptcy petition against the newspaper last summer. Gerald Rimmel, an attorney for the newspaper, said the company was unable to pay its printers because its principal lender, Citicorp Industrial Credit Inc., refused to guarantee the printer’s bills after the ruling.
