DENIES PUTNAM WIDOWS CLAIM

walk and the doorway was protected by a bar about three inches wide and about three feet above the floor.
 Shortly before the accident the super intendent of the mill had a conversa- ton with MT. Reeves and told him about an operation for the removal of adenoids which had recently taken place, where upon the decedent had remarked, That makes me feel faint" or words to that effect and the decedent then walked to the doorway in order to get air.
 Somebody called the superintendent and he walked away and left MT Reeves standing near the doorway Mir Oately, the superintendent did not see Mr. Reeves fall, but later found him on the sidewalk with his skull fractured.
 It was also found that MT. Reeves ap- peared in his usual condition on the morning in question, that he was seen standing near the doorway and that his hands slipped from the bar which pro- tected the doorway, his knees appeared to give way and he slipped under the bar and fell to the sidewalk below.
 It is well known in medical circles that persons may be made faint by a description of bloody operation,r es- pecally when described in detail, as was the case in the present instance, and that such faintness is brought about by reflex nerves acting through a mental process. It is found from the testimony taken as a whole that the cause of MT Reeves falling through the doorway was a sudden faiutness which he experienced as the result of hearing the details of the operation mentioned, and that the faintness did not. arise from anything ir any way cennected with his employment
 It is thereore found that while the in jury resulting in death arose in the course of the decedent's employment i did not arise cut of the employment
