CLERGYMAN ACCUSED
Of STEALING Church
vestryman Attacks Rev. DR..
BIanchet, Rector of Phil
adeIphia Parish.

PHILADELPHIA, November 9.-Vestry-
men of the Protestant Episcopal Church
of the Beloved Disciple in this city have
taken action in court against their rector,
the Rev. John B. Blanchet, formerly of
Staten Island. accusing him of trying to
steal from the congregation the church
property, furniture and other ar.
ticles Of value The court is asked to re-
strain him and appoint a master to pro-
tect the church from the clergyman.
The charges have astounded the Episco-
pal diocese of Pennsylvania. While it was
known that there was considerable diff
Guilty between the rector ard his parish
toner's, eliminating with his disappear
ance from the city last summer, it was
not revealed until yesterday what the ac-
tual trouble was.
All Is Explained.
In the bill filed in court nothing is left
unexplained. The petition of the three
vestrymen, all of prominent standing, Jo-
seph c. Horrblower. Albert Demme and
William H. Lillicrap, recites:
"The Rev. John B. Blanchet proved unac-
ceptable to the congregation of the church
by his overbearing and dictatorial man
ner, and because of this many OF the
members of the parish left the congre-
cation, and the revenues of the church
were therefore depleted. In consequence
of which an Indebtedness to the pastor
was therefore created.
when the conditions continued, the
Rev. John B. Blanchet refused to hold
vestry meetings, acted as accounting
warden illegally, took possession Of all
moneys and account books of the parish.
refused to permit the vestry to examine
them and refused to allow the church to
elect new vestrymen to take the place of
those who resigned because of the con-
ditions at the church.
Deed Is Recorded.
1.-The said Blanchet now claims that
the property of the church was conveyed
to him and the deed of such conveyance
has been inscribed on the books of the
recorder of deeds Office at city hall, dated
August 16, 1912. The deed appears to
have been executed in behalf of the cor
poration by Robert Gillespie, signing as
rector's warden, but the said Gillespie
denies that he ever signed such convey
ance The consideration named in the
deed is 1858 and subject to two mort
cages. one for $4,000 and the other for
S2.292. making total consideration of
$17,9S5.
1.-The petitioners charge that no meet
ing of the congregation was ever held to
authorize such conveyance, which they
declare to be fraudulent, and further they
allege that the aforesaid Blanchet when
asked to give an accounting OF the
moneys that he had received said that he
had assumed all the debts of the church
and that he would be responsible for the
payment of all bills
Nothing has been seen of him since
early in September and he is supposed to
be in Florida.
