Undercofler, Presiding Justice,
dissenting.
The majority opinion overlooks the Workmen’s Compensation Board’s finding that Walker was an independent contractor. Also it has misinterpreted Code Ann. § 114-607. The insurer here is not claiming that Hill-Harmon and; its vendors are not insured by its policy or that the policy doesn’t cover exempt employees. It *739merely claims Walker is not an employee as the board found and therefore his death is not compensable.
I respectfully dissent. I am authorized'to state that Justice Jordan and Justice Ingram concur in this dissent.
