OPINION BY MR. JUSTICE MUSMANNO, November 10, 1964:

In Polm v. Hession, 363 Pa. 494, 496, this Court said, quoting from Dively v. Penn-Pittsburgh Corporation, 332 Pa. 65, that there are cases where "there is some fairly compelling reason for walking in a place which, though dark, is not utterly devoid of light. Under such circumstances, contributory negligence will not be declared as a matter of law."
