GEORGE EHRET'S HEIRS WILL REVIVE BREWERY
The heirs of the late George EHRET, for many years one of the best-known
brewers in the country are going to revive the business in the Williamsburg
area.
The Ehret family has set up a corporation for the manufacture of beer and
has bought outright the property of the Interboro Beverage Corporation,
at Melrose and George Sts.  The corporation was formerly know as the 
Leonard Eppig Brewery.
Louis J. EHRET, a son, is to be in charge of the plant which has a 
capacity of more than 50,000 barrels a year.  Mr. Ehret was long
connection with his father's business, being technical and scientific
direction after 1907.  The business, founded by the late Mr. EHRET in
1866 in Manhattan's Yorkville section, was discontinued in 1930.
George EHRET BURGHARD and William EHRET OTTMANN, grandchildren
of the found of the business, will have executive positions.  Richard BARTHEL
and Otto BAHLS, brewmaster and chief engineer, respectively, for about
20 years in the original Ehret organization, will have responsible posts.
The old Yorkville plant, assessed at approximately $1,500,000, was sold
by the Ehret family to Col. Jacob RUPPERT last April.  When Mr. EHRET
died in January 1927, he left an estate appraised at around $40,000,000.
The Charles F. NOYES Company, real estate brokers, arranged the sale
of the Williamsburg property and Blandy, Mooney & Shipman, attorneys,
represented the Ehret family.

ENOCH ARDEN DECREE IS AWARDED MRS. MORRIS
Even a man who takes a "run-out powder" may be declared legally dead
so that his abandoned wife can be freed from marriage after the lapse of
five years.
This decision was handed down yesterday by the Brooklyn Appellate
Division, reversing a decision by the matrimonial branch of the Supreme
Court, which had refused to grant an Enoch Arden decree to Mrs. Sophie
MORRIS of 6309 Bay Parkway.
The story of Mrs. Morris was like many others that have been written into
the records of the Supreme Court, except for the added feature that made
the trial court doubt whether Alexander D. MORRIS, the missing husband,
could be judicially called "dead".
When Alex walked out of his home Nov. 12, 1928, he did not kiss his wife
goodby, nor did he cast a look at his two children, Helen, now 10, and
Bernard, 8.  He bluntly announced that he was walking out forever and that
the family need no longer expect any support from him.  He slammed the
door and disappeared.
Mrs. MORRIS asked the police department here to search for him, and also
enlisted the aid of the police of Detroit, where they lived for a time after 
their marriage in Brooklyn, Oct. 22, 1922, and where he was in the real
estate business before their return to this ciy.  She also had searches made
in Toronto where his folks lived and put advertisements in many newspapers,
without results.
After the Supreme Court had refused to give her her freedom, Mrs. MORRIS
appealed to the Appellate Division.  Directing that she should be awarded an
Enoch Arden decree.  Justices LAZANSKY, CARSWELL, SCUDDER,
TOMPKINS AND JOHNSTON, said:
"The court at matrimonial term denied petitioner's application upon the ground
that the husband stated he was going to run away and did not intend to 
support the family, and refused to presume that the husband is dead.
"We are of the opinion that the petitioner's testomony is sufficient upon
which to ground an order dissolving the marriage."

STORK CHEATED BY HUSBAND, WIFE CHARGES
Never Even Paid Birth Bills, She Declares in Action for Divorce
       Married for more than seven years, Mrs. Gladys PIERSON, never received 
a cent of support from her husband, Albert PIERSON, garage worker, she told 
Justice FURMAN in the matrimonial branch of the Supreme Court.
       Two children were born of the union, and even those events failed to 
loosen his purse strings, she alleged, for he failed to pay even the stork 
bills.
       Her people have been helping her, but the time has come, Mrs. PIERSON 
told the court, when she can no longer bear her husband's chronic 
indifference to his obligations.  So she is suing for a decree of separation 
and alimony.
Has Boat, She Says
       To make it more unbearable, the wife complained, her husband enjoys 
the cool breezes aboard a pleasure boat on frequent occasions, while she and 
the children, aged 6 and 2, must suffer the unbearable heat in their 
apartment, for she has no money to go places.
       In December, 1933, she induced him to sign a separation agreement,  in 
which he promised to pay $15 a week, but so far as money was concerned that 
document rivaled the famous "scrap of paper" that certain war lords ignored 
in other days.
       She asked the court to make Albert pay alimony pending trial of her 
suit and counsel fees.

PIERSON Pleads Poverty
       PIERSON, in his opposing affidavit, told a tale of dire poverty.  He 
makes only a few dollars doing work at the garages where he was formerly 
steadily employed, and that he sleeps aboard a boat, where the rent is free.  
He said he went back to his wife after leaving her the first time.  "It is 
unfortunate," he said, "that my wife and I do not see things in the same 
light."
       The wife riddled PIERSON's poverty tale with affidavits by several 
persons, who swore they saw him working regularly at the garage, that the 
"rent free" boat is a pleasure yacht, of which he is half owner, and that his 
home is with his people at 1382 Nostrand Ave.
       So Justice FURMAN decided that PIERSON must pay him (sic) wife $20 a 
week alimony, pending trial, and $125 counsel fee. 

 Interlocutory judgments of divorce were granted during the week by 
Supreme Court Justice Meier STEINBRINK to the following:
