1915. ELWOOD SMITH, Special Surrogate A. C. N. THOMPSON, Attorney for Petitioners In an effort to get to the bottom of the charges which led to the pastor's dismissal, a reporter asked a member of, the church who was in close touch with the situation: "Are you certain as to the veracity of the statements which have been laid before you.

concerning your pastor?" "Well," replied the person. "If I stood here jut as I stand now and saw j'ou shoot a mau across the street, I'd know that you were guilty, wouldn't I No furthpr comment was made. It is understood that Mr. Williams was called the ooard several daj ago and confronted wtth the evidence agafnst him. Unofficial sources have it that the pastor begged leave to remain at his post until the end of the joar.

In justice to thfmTOves and the members of the church to whom they were responsible, Mr. Williams' request was not granted by the board and his resignation was asked for. The resignation, was tendered and the pastor started away ostensibly ou the usual summer vacation which is given the Washington M. K. pastors in August.

He will not return at tho end of the month and through August the Rev. James H. Mitchell of 0 Lafayette Place will conduct the services. Through the summer mouths the at- ternoon and evening services are dispensed with and only morning services will be held through the present month. When the regular services are resumed in September it is probable that M.

E. pastors in this district will visit the Pougbkeopsle church and that ministers will be sent here by the bishop. From this latter class another pastor to fill the pulpit at the church will be selected. It is said that the -pastor's study was the scene of the alleged indls- creetness of Mr. Williams and that when the details were laid before the official board the truth of those who were present was accepted without question and.

the request of Mr. Williams for an extension of time turned down flatly. It is said that Mr. Williams will next fall engage in business. His resignation came Tuesday as a distinct shock to the 400 or 500 members of the "congregation, among whom arc some of the city's most prominent citizens.

Some of the pastor's friends declare that the alleged "indlscreetness" which the official board took so seriously was only another of the gossipy stories of which one of the former ministers of the Washington Street Church accused his congregation of being much given to in a published book. Rev. Mr. Williams is known in this city, and has occupipd the pulpit of St. Paul's Church here.
