WIFE DID NOT
 HAVE TO TELL
 OF PAST ACTS

The mere fact that a wife conceals her infid e1ity from her husbanLdl does not absolve him from the duty of sup porting her, Judge Curtis of the Su- perior court decided today when he made ruling in the case of Sally Noble Bean of New York against Sid ney A. Bean. a wealthy Greenwich resident. The court ruled that inas- much as Mrs. Bean is still the wife of the Greenwicsh resident she is enti- tied to such remedies to secure her support as the law allows.
 Bean claimed that his wife had been unfaithful to him 12 years ago but did not tell him. For that reason he said he was not reuired to pay her S100 a month, as he had previously agreed to. Counsel for Mrs. Bean maintained that there was no duty on the wife who has been unfaithful to tell her husband of the fact and the mere concealment of this from the husband was not a fraud on the part of his wife.
 Mrs. Bean sued her husband last year for divorce. alleging infidelity and named Sybil Elwood as cores pondent. Her husband filed a cross complaint in which he accused Mrs Bean of infidelity. The court dis missed both complaints.
