Wife of T. N. Gillespie Precipitated Sensation When She Found Letters In Husband's Pocket—Father of Girl Renounces Pulpit Forever. Butler, Pa., Nov. 9.—Not since the notorious Biddle brothers were run to earth and killed here some years since has Butler had such a sensation as is now holding it through discov- eries in the very fashionable First Presbyterian church. Rev. William E. Oller, for more than two decades pastor of the church, has left the pul pit and tendered his resignation in shame. Miss Nell Oller, his twenty-eight year old and beautiful daughter, has recently been forced before the church session with T. N. Gillespie, one of the town's rich men, both members of the First church, and the pair are alleged by the church officers to have made “confessions” which has set the town by the ears and kas forced the church authorities to “discipline” the two. Just what punishment has been meted out to the two persons has not been made public by the church body, but it has not been satisfactory to Mrs. Gillespie, who has demanded her papers as a member of the church be cause the elders have not sent her husband and Miss Oller from the church forthwith. Gillesple is probably the largest man in Butler, or was until a few days since. He is treasurer of the Stand ard Steel Car company, which is back: ed by the Mellen millions, and his work in the past ten years has been largely instrumental in the advance ment of Butler. He left Butler some days ago, but his friends say he will return to “face the music” within the next few days. It was Mrs. Gillespie who precipi tated the sensation and forced the ses. sion of the First Presbyterian church to drag not only her own husband, but one of the most popular young women of the town, before it. It is alleged that a letter from the young woman to Gillesple was found by the wife In her husband's pocket. She fainted many times over the contents of the letter and then took it to the officers of the church, demanding that immediate action be taken by the church body. Mrs. Gillespie furnished the church with a copy of the letter, but held the original herself, turning it over later to her attorney. Mrs. Gillespie same days later met Rev. Mr. Oller, the pastor, on the train and at once demanded of him that she be furnished her certificate of mem: bership in his church so that she could leave. The pastor demanded the rea. sons for Mrs. Gillespie's desire to withdraw, and he reeled when she told him what she claimed was the naked truth. The pastor announced that he would have the matter investigated fully, and if it were even in part true he would walk from the pulpit never to re enter it. Rev. Mr. Oller has left the pulpit since.
