Chandler held a special hearing in the Plainville town hall this morning on the petition of the American Mu- tual Liability Insurance Co,, anent the compensation of ¥. Ivan Benjamin of Plainville, in which a changed condi- tion of facts was claimed which, the petitioner argued, should release the company from further payments, Attorney §. P. Waskowltz of the firm of Schatz & Schatz, Hartford, ap- peared for Benjamin. Despite the fact that Dr. Paul Swett, a bone spe- cialist, has declared Benjamin cured and able to return to work, the Hart- ford attorney argued that such was not the facts and that neurosis or hysteria remained; that Benjamin had brooded over his injury to such an extent that his mind had been af- fected, and that he was entitled to a continuance of compensation under the original order. Attorncy Wasko- witz's contention was upheld and pay- ment of $10.35 a week for the full 620 weeks was ordered and in addi- tion the services of Dr. Weidman, a nerve specialist at the company’s ex- pense was ordered provided, Hurt at Fafnir Factory Benjamin suffered injury to This side and arm while dragging a box in the Fafnir Bearing factory, accord- ing to his claim. The respondent denied the injury to his side and pro- duced doctors as witnesses who ro- ported that their examinations of the claimant falled to reveal any injury to his side after the accident, Under the original order, payments were made regularly until last March when Dr. Swett reported the man cured and able to return to work. He secured a job in the Bristol Brass Co., but found he was not physically able to continue. The factory’s insuror stopped payments -and the clatmant brought a new petition to the compen- sation commissioner in October, as a result of which back payments were ordered made up. The insurance company then asked for a new hear- |Ilt*g. setting forth a changed condition, Wi 0 ola L Y was advariced in the interests of Benjumin's case and sustained. At a hearing last week Benjamin collapsed and the commis- sioner ordered today's hearing in the Plainville town hall.
