near midnight with a man other than her husband does not in itself constitute grounds tor divorce Supreme Court Justice Clarence MacGregor ruled today He dismissed the action brought by Arch Lyman Eggertsville against his wife Clara mother of several grown children by a previous marriage They were married Nov 7 1907 and have lived apart since 1923 Mrs Lyman who opposed the suit lives at 1497 Union road Ebenezer Justice MacGregor pointed out that Mrs Lyman on April 4 1935 told her husband that she was going to Rochester to visit her sister that she met a man named Cook went to the movies with him and then decided that it was too late to see her sister They went to the Roch-1 ester hotel Mrs Lyman said she did not know that Mr Cook had registered for them as Harrison and wife When witnesses for the husband gained entry to the room to inspect "leaking pipes" Mr Cook had his coat and vest off and Mrs Lyman had her coat off and was wearing house slippers Justice MacGregor ruled that there were "suspicious circumstances and the testimony of the defendant (Mrs Lynfan) does not in some respects ring true" He added: "Perhaps the plaintiff was premature in bringing his witnesses upon the scene but the fact remains that taking all of the testimony and the reasonable inferences to be drawn from the surrounding circumstances and even indulging in the presumptions that are permissible in actions of this character the plaintiff has not' established by a fair preponderance of evidence that the defendant committed the act" There are no children by the Lyman marriage BULLET
