Fearing immediate sxoosure at tha
hands of his brother ministers of tha
Portland' Presbytery, Rev, A. E. Wingert-whs.
is charged with all sorts of
financial irregularities, was forced to
decamp from Tillamook. Oregon, leav
ing unpaid debts smountlng to several
hundred dollars, including a two months'
board bill, a tailor bill, a livery bltt and
about 1260 -in small sums . borrowed
from his confiding parlshoners.
From documents in the hsnds of Rev.
E. M. 8hsrp, stated clerk of the Port
land presbytery.' it aoDeara that the
Rev. Mr. Wlngert's operations in this
state was -mere child's nlav mihimmiI
with' bis performances when connected
with the presbytery of Fort Dodge,
lows.- While pastor of small church
near Fort Dodge last July he is accused
of having, sollected several . hundred
dollars of church funds, borrowed small
sums from his members and friends
and disappeared, leaving a , wife and
young babe. He turned up in Portland
last. April,. And presented to the Port
land presbytery a church letter from
the Fort Dodge presbytery, apparently
signed by the moderator and clerk, stating-,
that ;' he. had. been honorably dis
missed from that presbytery to tha Ore
gon synoa.1
Being a man of pleasing address and
unquestioned ability, Wingert wss at
once recommended to the Presbyterian
at Tillamook and was immediately en
gaged as pastor.' After his departure
for his new. charge, the officers of the
Portland presbytery began to hear of
numerous sums of money that he bad
borrowed from local ministers during
his brief stay in this city snd bis ap
parent unwillingness to repay tha same.
An investigation was , instituted by
Rev. E. M. Sharp of tha Mount Tabor
Presbyterian church, who wrote a letter
of inquiry to the officers of tha Fort
Dodge presbytery and received in reply
tha information that the church letter
presented by . Wingert to tha Portland
presbytery was a forgery, that ha had . '
deserted his wife and child and bad :
seriously - embarrassed his church, by
appropriating about 100 . of church
funds in addition to leaving a cloud
of unpaid debts.- "
The letter to Rev. Mr. 8harp also said
that several of, Wlngerfi former par

anxious to apprehend him and turn "him
