J: I'lnkeM With Crookedness in Factory Deal. | AN ACCOUNTING IS DEMANDED Attorney Allges Thai Ills Pastor lias Taken One-Half Interest in Factory It it fit by Church Funds, lint Entitled Only to One Eighth Interest. Something of a sensation has been M>rnng here by the filing of a suit In I the district court Monday against the Rev. William C. Williams, pastor of St. John’s A. M. E. church, by Harri son J. Pinkett, an attorney, member of the congregation, and until recently a member of the official board of the church, charging the pastor with the diversion of church funds to his own personal use. The petition alleges in substance that the church voted the sum of $5, OfJD to the Rev. Mr. Williams which was to be used by hlin In purchasing a site and erecting a factory which would give employment to girls and women. That the lots were purchased in the minister’s name, not In the name of the congregation, and that about the time the factory was com pleted, the plaintiff alleges that Rev. Mr. Williams turned over to' the church a warranty deed for a half in terest fn the property, whereas, It. is asserted, he should have turned over seven-eighths of the plant, Inasmuch as the defendant invested only $750 of his own money In the project, which was $50 less than the $800 he (Wil liams) received as his commission “as contractor and superintendent of the building." Pinkett demands an accounting from the Rev. Mr. Williams as to the disposition of funds entrusted to him by the church for investment.
