TO-, Wilkes-Barre. The husband OF
he claimant while working in
nine cut himself on a mining ma
hine and when another employ en-
cred the chamber to borrow it he
allied attention to the injury. The
opinion which allows compensation
ays that the deceased told his wife
he circumstances and the same
tatement was made by the deceased
his son and to his phsiciar
rhe evidence establishes that the
deceased died as the result of blood
poisoning which followed as di-
ect consequence of his injury
In Pusey VS.. Pennsylvania Rail-
oad, Philadelphia case, where
deceased was struck by a rim of
headlight, it is stated that the
omp pany had actual notice of the
injury" and that the man died as
result of injury to his brain by the
ccident. The opinion notes that
when he returned to work he ap-
beared to be dull in mind and was
Feduced in rank and then finally dis
charged, dying four months later.
Compensation is awarded on the
Eround that death was due to the
injury suffered nine months before
heath.
Compensation is upheld in Grae-
per VS.. North American Co., Phila-
ielphia, wherein death was due to
blow struck in a quarrel between
Employees when one asked another
O stand out of the light. The claim
mt in this case is held to be lin
he same position as though she

ieath of her husband because of an
