fch and Law Officials Make Search Fori ul AOfficer Hi, H. T. Sheppafd, Former Head of Trustee Board, Is Wanted By Referee ra Bankruptcy So Church Can Find (hit Where 'Thousands of Dollars Of Its Money Has Gone To The old game of "Button button, who's got the but is being played," under" a new name, by members of Mt. Calvary Methodist Church, the pastor, a referee and trustee, in the church's bankruptcy suit, and divers court attendantsthe jaid new title being, "Sheppardj' Sheppard, where 'is Sheppard?" Jhe search is or Hannibal T. Sheppard, the real estate who maintained magnificently offices at 2380 Seventh afvenue, and.who lived in gorgeous splendor at 2412, on the1 same thoroughfare.

The' reason for the' search, as givenf by the attorney for the Jnistee in is 'that' a 'citation for con tempt of 'court 'be served; on the said' Sljepar who. failed, on two HANNIBAL. T. SHEPPARD jiiu mimi an ir. nowcii.oi tonnnuco usciuintss tbi city.

Calvary Church, hich money, it is alleged, is now missing without being accounted for. Hearings Before Referee. George Winship Taylor, member of the "law firm of Duer Taylor, at 32 Broadway, is attorney for Ralph Taylor, of the same firm, who has been. named as trustee in the voluntary bankruptcy filed "by Mt.

Calvary Church through its, pastor' and TjftVers, the plea' havings been necessitated, it is alleged," by the failure 'of Sheppard, in his ofhcial capacity, to handle properly the church finances. Sea moit Miller of 2 Rector street has been named by the court as referee, and it is before 'him that several hearings in the case been held. employes In' his ,1. Attorney G. Taylor, talking to an Age said that there is no direct charge of misappropriation of funds lodged against Sheppard, but that in Aatements made tinder oath before the referee Sheppard had bv the following prominent lavmen: IT la.

'1 hnma 1 II en anei his associates for their achiev meni. inn wished thorn many years Who Handled Funds acknowledged that there were mistakes and errors in his financial accounts, at the, same time laying the blame for these discrepancies on the clerks and Mt Calvary's History. Briefly, the story of Mt. Calvary'i activities cover about four years. The 1 membership, was comprised, of a group of dissatisfied former mem hers of Bethel 11.

E. Church. West' 1 1.12nd street, who left that body when i the Rev. Montrose W. Thornton was places! as Bthei's pastor by Bishop Heard.

After a vain fight against the I acceptance of Thornton, this group left Bethel and organized the Mt. Calvary Independent Methodist Church, holding meetings at first in Lafayette Hall, 132nd street and Seventh avenrte, afterward securing the property at Seventh avenue and 1.19th street, where services were held in two upstairs rooms. Then, when the present edifice at. 140th street and Edgecombe avenue, was secured, the Seventh avenue prop" was remodeled; int one of the xbmeeit business buildings in Harlem. Ail "at tnesr transactions jeomrea large financiering, and it is said that Sheppard; as presidenr of ihe chiircH of trustees, was absolute tn control of affairs.

The only monies, it is said, which passed through hands of other church officers, were the funds raised in church collections, both It regular services and at special rallies. But it is said, that these sums totalled only a small proportion of the moniet actually handled by Sheppard. Sheppard Raised Large Sums. Rentals from the Seventh avenue business property aggregated a large sum, and to this was added other other money raised, at Sheppard's own will and pleasure, it is said, through loans and placing of. mortgages on the church property, and it is charged that other officers of the including' the pastor, were in absolute ignorance as to details concerning these During the past summer, financial matters came to a crisis, and an accounting was demanded of Sheppard.

Then the church as told that Sheppard heW claims totalling $21,000 money due him up to November 30. 1924. the end of the church's fiscal year, with an additional $15,000 due to June, 1925. which was the time Sheppard was called to account. The first result was that the church went into voluntary bankruptcy, with the subsequent appointment of Referee Miller and Trustee R.

Taylor. Then began a series of hearings before the referee, with the result that instead of the church being indebtel to Sheppard, it was broitgiit out tM the erstwhil: ocratic ami rzarliU ruler of the church was probably ow ing something to the church. The exact amount, it it has not been possible to ascertain, since it is charged that certa books, supposed to have contained records of various transae. tion, hav enot been produced betore the referee, but it is believed to ap proximate $25,000. It was brought out in the hearings, also, that Sheppard had been in the habit of depositing church funds in his pe550n.1l banking account, and that there was no means of identifying particularly payments for the church other than bv certain personal check! produced by Sheppard.

which he said had been drawn for that purpose. II was pointed out. however, that these personal checks were not accompaniec by vouchers of any sort. Finallv, an adjourned hearing was set by Referee Miller for Novembei 17, but Sheppard failed to show tip The hearing was then adjourned te November 24. but to no avail, as thi most imortant figure in the investigation was again absent.

Then followed the issuing of a ci tation for contempt, since wliich time the most intensive search has not availed to disclose Sheppard's hiding place. Referee Miller, Truster R. TayliH and his attorney, G. W. Taylor, the law firm oi Rwthwell, Harp er and Matthews, of 2 Rector street attorneys for the church.
