NO CLAIM ON PUTNAM HOSPITAL
SPECIAL NURSE NOT EMPLOYEE
Compensation Commissioner Finds That Mrs.
Mary Joslyn Cannot Recover
From Institution
Injured When Window Fell On Her Hand Last March-Par-
tally Disabled.

The claimant was attended at the
Day Kimball Hospital by DR.. Overlook
until May s and it is found that all
improvements in the condition of the
injured hand ceased on May %, on
which day DR.. Overlook examined the
injured member and estimated loss
of so per cent of the use of the hand.
Claimant was at all times from March
18th to May 22nd, totally disabled
and since that time it is found that
she has only been able to do some
light work consisting of small duties
about her own home and for short
time sitting with a patient at the hos
pital 1t is found that as far as her
profession is concerned, that of nurs-
ing, that she will be unable to follow
that line in the future except possibly
the feeding or watching patients.
Considering the facts as found, and
for the reasons more fully set forth
in memorandum of decision at
tached to the finding, it is found that
there was no relation of employer and
employee existing between the Day
Kimball Hospital and Mrs. Joslin at
the time of her injury, and that she
was the employee of the patient whom
she was attending at the time of said
injury, and her claim for compensa-
ton must, therefore, be disallowed.

as a school before when a girl school
was conducted there by the Misses
Vinton. 1t stands on the street, just
south of the Pomfret School and the
estate of Miss Elinor Clarke and is
next to the residence of Miss Vinton.
1t commands wide view and is an
