REBUKES WITNESS BUT GRANTS DECREE
    Although her testimony won a verdict for the plaintiff,
Justice Philip A. Brennan gave Mrs. Evelyn Pasternack of
Poplar St., Brooklyn, and uncomfortable five minutes in 
Supreme Cour, Brooklyn, last week before he signed a
divorce decree freeing Mrs. Gertrude E. Bedell.
   Mrs. Bedell, who lives in West End Ave., Manhattan,
asked a divorce from Austin E. Bedell, who married
her in Vienna in 1926, but from whom she had been
separated for three years.
   Mrs. Pasternack told of finding Bedell with a woman in
the upper floor of her duplex apartment, which he had 
rented, on Jan 5. She said the woman had been with Bedell
on other occasions. She thought they were engaged, she said.
   "You knew they were not married and yet you permitted 
them to spend nights together."  Justice Brennan said.
   After several more questions Justice Brennan permitted
Mrs. Pasternack, to leave the stand.

Divorce Granted to Mrs. A. E. Bedell
   Supreme Court Justice Philip A. Brennan yesterday
granted an inerlocutory degree of divorce to Mrs. 
Gertrude E. Bedell of 365 West End Ave. Manhattan from
her husband Austin E. Bedell.
   The couple were married Aug. 14, 1926 in Vienna. 
They have been separated for about 2 years.
   The chief witness in the case was Mrs. Evelyn
Pasternach of 64 Poplar St., who testified that she
rented Mr. Bedell the upper half of her duplex 
apartment. On Jan 5. she said, Mrs. Bedell arrived
and said it was an emergency, she must see her husband.
Mrs. Pasternach said that when they got upstairs they
found Mr. Bedell in pajamas and an unnamed woman in
a negligee.
   "Did you know Mr. Bedell had a woman there?" Justice
Brennan demanded.
   "I thought the Bedells were divorced." Mrs. Pasternach
replied.
