PASTOR FIGHTS
GIRL s CHARGE
AS FALSE
Mount Vernon Place Church
Said to Be Split BY Case;
Accuser Refuses to Talk

Preparations were being made
today for a church trial of the
Rev. DR.. William A. Shelton, pas
tor of the Mt. Vernon Place Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, South, on
charges made against him by Miss
Carrie A. Williams, of 1922 Forty
first st. N. w., his former secre-
tary.
The nature of the charges
against the prominent clergyman
is being carefully guarded, but it
was announced that the trial will
take place in about two weeks.
Character Involved
Announcement of the trial was
made by the Rev. j. H. Balthis,
presiding elder of the washington
district, who said:
Because of persistent rumOrs
concerning the character OF
the Rev. william A. Shelton,
pastor of the Mt. Vernon Place
M. E. Church South, Bishop
E. d. MouzOn appointed an in
vestigating committee of five
preachers. This committee, on
September 4, decided that in
fairness to all parties concerned
it would be wise to have a
church trial"
Girl Silent on Charges
Miss williams, who is main
tanning stoical silence on the
subject, said today the charges
probably concerned church al
fairs"
When asked the nature of the
charges, about which everybody
concerned refuses to reveal any
thing, Miss Williams said:
81 refuse to make any state
ment. However, inaSmuch as
the charges are warranting q
trial before a church board, one
would naturally assume that
they concern church affairs"
Preparations were being made
today for thetrial which, it was
announced, will take place in
about two weeks.
Public announcement of the
difficulties which have befallen
DR.. Shelton has split the congre.
CATION into two factions, one de-
Tending the pastor and the other
attacking him.
Pastor Ready To Fight
DR.. Shelton is ready to fight
the charges, he announced to-
day.
The clergyman said:
II am facing trial. I am 60
ing to do more than demon.
strate the impOssibility of prov.
ing these allegations. I am 60
ing to take the offensive and
definitely prove them to be
completely without foundation"
Miss Williams served as Secre-
tary to two pastors at the church
before DR.. Shelton came here last
October. Shortly after DR.. Shell
ton took over the pastorate Miss
Williams ended her connection
with the church.
DR.. Shelton, who is Sc years old,
is one of the scholars of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. He
was ordained in 1899.

Friends of Zane Grey, the novelist
reported today that a mutiny Of the
crew of the writer's palatial yacht,
Fisherman II, had caused him to
abandon a proposed eighteen

The Fisherman II sailed from
San Pedro about three months ago.
Among the passengers were Grey's
daughter Betty, 10, and her hus-
band, Robert Carney, 81, who were
on their honeymoon.
Information that trouble had de-
veloped was revealed when Mrs. Eric

guests, sailed Thursday night for
Tahiti to join her husband.
The mutiny occurred three weeks

the crew became dissatisfied at be-
ing away from civilization for an
extended period and refused to pro-
coed further.
