Head Matter:
Before State Industrial Board, Respondent. Margaret Ankerbrand, Respondent, v. Jacob Philippi and Another, Appellants.

Opinion:
Award reversed and claim dismissed, with costs against the State Industrial Board, on the ground that the claimants have not sustained the burden of proof that the fall aggravated the pre-existing condition of angina pectoris as found by the Board, it being just as probable that the fall was caused by the disease and that death resulted independently of the fall. All concur.
