	Philly Priest Accused of Theft Associated Press, carried in Courier-Post December 20, 2007 http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071220/NEWS01/71220025/1006 PHILADELPHIA — A priest who was the head of a Catholic school in Philadelphia has been accused of stealing $900,000. The Rev. Charles Newman was president of Archbishop Ryan High School from July 2002 to November 2003. Prosecutors say he stole $331,000 from the school and more than $500,000 from his religious order, the Franciscan Friars. He was charged Thursday with six counts of felony theft charges and a count of felony forgery. Prosecutors say Newman was dismissed from the school in November 2003 after the officials became suspicious. It could not immediately be determined if Newman had an attorney.
