sioner George b. Chandler in the cass
of +. Ivan Benjamin VS.. Fafnir Bear
ing Co., adiudging no error in the
findings and award of the commits
sioner, Benjamin was represented
by Attorney S. L. Waskowitz.
Benjamin suffered an injury while
at work in the Fafnir factory in Oc-
tober, 1922. He alleges that through
broodlng over the injury he contract
ed mental disease and suffers hys-
terra. The respondent denied casual
connection between the injury sus-
tained In the factory and the mental
condition and after several hearings
the case went to superior court on
appeal.
Judge Maltbie's memorandum on
the case follows:
The only question in this case, as
/ see IL, Is whether or not the con-
clusion of the commissioner that the
claimants present condition of men,
tai arrangement is the result of the
injury he sustained, II is true the
reasons Of appeal assign error in the
commissioners denial of various para
graphs of a motion to correct his find
ing and award, but no testimony is
before me which would enable me to
oyerturn his conclusions.
The injury was suffered sometime
in or prior TO October, 1922, and a
voluntary agreement for compensa-
tion was made and approved by the
commissioner. In January. 1929. the
respondent sought to cease its pay
mehts Of compensation on the ground
that the claimants incapacity had
terminated, but the commissioner de-
MED the application. The present APP
peal is from the denial by the COM
missioner OF another application by
the respondent to be permitted to
cease compensation based upon the
same ground. The injury was dis
location and strain OF the ligaments
of the right arm. He was treated. In
particular. by Dr. Paul Z. SWEET and
his associate, DIR. Sidney II. McPher-
son, eminent orthopedic surgeons. On
March 19, 1923, the claimant receiv-
ed his final treatment at the formers
landsi Dr. SWEET then found that
he had full range Of motion in his
shoulder. but there was some restric-
ton in both voluntary and passive
