PASTOR, IN SCANDAL, RESIGNS.
Quits Church When Name
Coupled with that of Woman.

Poughkeepsie y. Y. Aug. 5.-The SEN
sational resignation of the Rev. Morley
T Williams, pastor of the Washington
Street Methodist Church. the largest and
most fashionable here. has attracted the
attention of persons today who did not
even know his dismissal was possibil-
uy.
Suddenly rendering his resignation. the
Rev. Mr. Williams left the city early to-
day with his wife and two children fol-
lowing charges heard before the church's
official board.
Testimony by a church member con-
cerning an unexpected call made at the
minister's study, where he was found in
company with a young woman, figured
in the proceedings before the board.
When the board summoned the pastor
and asked him If he cared to make
statement. he declined. upon which he
was asked to resign His plea to be
allowed to stay a year longer was re-
fused.
1t was suggested. however. that he
start on his vacation on August l. and
that If he left quietly a that time it
would be best for all concerned.
The minister is - years old. He held
pastorate at Peekskin before coming
here.
