WIND GAP, Pa. - Officials have scheduled a court appearance for the janitor accused of fatally stabbing a New Jersey priest 32 times.

Jose Feliciano is due in court in Morristown, N.J., Thursday.

Court documents filed in Wind Gap, Pa., say the Rev. Ed Hinds discussed firing Feliciano one day before he was attacked in the rectory kitchen of St. Patrick Church in Chatham, N.J.

The documents say Hinds told the principal of the church's school that he might have to "let go" of Feliciano due to problems with a criminal background investigation.

The 64-year-old custodian had worked at the church for 17 years.

A wake for Hinds is scheduled for Friday.
