*315Dissenting Opinion by
Judge Barry:
I respectfully dissent and would affirm the Board which reversed the decision of the referee and granted benefits to claimant.
The Board concluded that the employer had made no showing that the claimants admitted cohabitation with a divorced woman was willful misconduct connected with the claimants employment. The majority opinion does not address this issue but the record amply supports this conclusion of the Board. The petitioner was perfectly justified in discharging the claimant as the Board found, but I do not believe that benefits should have been denied.
Judge Smith joins in this dissent.
