John H. Barnes, Esq. appeared for the claimant and Corpor- ation Counsel Amos A. Browning ap- peared for the city. The full text of the finding follows: Harry W. Tracl, late of Norwich, the person named in the caption as the person deceased, was on the 20th day of October, 1916, and for a period of more than two_weeks prior thereto had been, in the employ of the responden Gtho City of Norwich), and on day, while engageq in such employ- ment, suffered at Norwich an irjury growing out of and in the course of his employment as a result of which he died in the 1y morning, to wit, about 389 o'clock, of October 27, i916. Both Harry W. Tracy and the re- spondent were within the provisions of Part B, of Chapter 138 of the Public Acts of 1913 as amended by Chapter 288 of the Public Acts of 1915, and the latter has fully complied with the pro- visions wf section 30 of saiq Payrt B, as amended, its ability to pay con:pen- sation direct having been establishel to the satisfaction of the commissione~ having jurisdiction. v ‘The average weekly wage of the sald Harry W. Tracy, computed in accord- ance with the terms of said act, was twenty-five dollars. ‘The said Harry W. Tracy left sur- viving nim wife, Magdeline Eliza- 'beth Tracy, Porn Crosier, the claimant nerein, wno at the time of his death was living with him, was supported by him, and was totally dependent upon him. The said Harry W. Tracy also left |surviving him two minor children, be- ing the children of the claimant, to wit, Adelaide Elizabeth Tracy,-aged seven years, and Daniel Wolcott Tracy, aged one year. Injured Cranking Machine. The said Harry W. Tracy was em- ployed in the gas and electrical depart— ment of the respondent city, and on the evening of Friday, Oect. 20th, 191 while in the discharge of his duties, suffered the injury in question, which consisted of a biow through being struck by the crank of a Ford auto- mobile while cranking said automobile, the blow occurring primarily on the front and outer aspect of the biceps muscle of the right arm. On the next day, to wit, Saturday, Oct. 21st, 1916, the arm was eore but said Tracy worked as usual. On Monday the said Tracy worked up to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Early on the morning of Tuesday, Oct. 24th, the said Tracy suffered great pain, and at ¢ o'clock on the morning of said day his family physician was summoned, and arrived at about 5 o'clock in the morning. Between 4 and 5 o'clock on that morning the said Tracy suffered great pain, there was a redness of the arm over an area of considerable extent and, at the point hereinbefore referred to as the primary place of the blow, there was a dark purple spot, in size between that of a half dollar and the palm of a hand. During the remainder of Tuesday, Oct. 24th, during Wednesday, Oct. 25th, and Thursday, Oct. 26th, the conditions heretofore set out grew worse and the arm became greatly swollen. During that time the said family physician made visits as follows: Two visits on Tuesday in addition to the one herein- before referred to; three visits on Wed- nesday, and four visits on Thursday, A second physiclan was called in con- sultation on the last named day. In answer to the questions of said physi- cians, the sald Tracy described said injury and they discussed the matter with him. On the evening of Thursday, Oct. 26th, 1916, the general colfor of the skin in the neighborhood of said purple spot ‘was a glistening white, and there was no pus. As hereinbefore stated, said Tracy died on the morning of Oct. 27th, 1916. The said Tracy was a large, heavy man, about 45 vears of age, and had been and was a rather heavy drinker. Death Due to Clot. ‘The death of said Tracy was due to the presence, in the circulation, of a clot formed as a result of said injury. The evidence to questions of fact ‘was, in the main, consistent. The medical theories advanced by experts ‘were divergent. The medical testimony of the claim- ant tended to show that, because of the blow, there was an injury to & blood vessel which caused a clot, which clot was swept into the circulation and eventually resulted in death. ‘The medical testimony of the respon- dent tended to show that a blow upon the outer arm of the nature of that in this case would not be likely to cause, in a man of the stature of said Tracy, an Injury to a blood vessel of suffi- cient size to have caused a clot large enough to have led to death; that the sequence of the development of the symptoms, the time co; nsumed development, and the appearance of the | No. arm and color of the skin on 'nxu'hf together with the absence of pus, ind cated an internal disturbance physical condition. The respondent’s evidence read as a ‘whole, howwfli’:.lfl.l to probable, was entirely in accordance with the range of possibility. The medical evidence of the respon. dent tended to establish thl#.rv man of the stature, m hal other physical cl said Tracy, conditions similar ‘which resulted in the death of ‘more é?'g: K, Automobile. —_— and in that way probable; taking time into account the unconscious attitude First, that the claimant had not es- tablished by a fair preponderance of the evidence that the death of said arose from or was due to an in- d in the course of his em- evidence that said death caused by or resulted from an injury arising out of his said émployment. ‘Both of thees claims were overruled. A memorandum is attached hereto and made a part hereof. ‘Whereupon, it is awarded and ad- that the respondent pay to the xpenses, and the medical, surgical and inciden- tal expenses provided by section 7 of | Part B of said act as amended. Memorandum. ‘There is much in the able medical testimony adduced by the respondent which has arrested attention. In some ‘ways the development of the case, viewed as one originating in a blow on i to the train of events which I navi found followed it. There is much 'which invites ciose attention in the theories of the respondent with refer- ence to the variation from what might be called the normal time schedule of development; and the color of the skin noted on Thursday is in itself an ele- ment which may be fairly said to bear upon the relation of cause and effect ‘which the claimant must establish, All of the considerations, however, bear upon the probabilities of the case, and to give any other effect to them ‘would be to attribute a certainty to uncertain human movements which is not in accord with the fact, and a cer- tainty to medical science which its practitioners would hardly claim for it. As to the matter of the blow, ac- cording to the evidence it is not im- possible that, if the arm had been per- Tectly rigid, the stroke from the crank o fihe automobile might have produced tne results which followed, although there would have been a great improb- ability of any such consequence. We all know, however, from common expe- rience that the arm was probably not rigid, and that there may have been just the turn or the wrench which, on the testimony, would have tended to so direct the injury as to make the serious results found to have followed much more probable. Also in considering the theory as to the time schedule and as to the color it must be viewed in the light of the testimony adduced by the claimant which was quite inconsistent with that theory, and also in the light of -the qualifying statements made by the witnesses supporting that theory, in view of the fact that sald witnesses conceded the possibilities of such an injury producing the untoward result. Connection Between Blow and Death. It is obviously true that if all we knew about the case was that the man received a ce: blow, no one would have had the has lood to construct a consequence which would have involved his death, and the same may be said if we _assume not only the blow but the early history of the case following the blow., When, however, we take the whole history and consider that there is the fact of the death and the train of circumstances which it is pretty generally conceded may show the con- nection between blow and death, and which by some of the testimony ad- duced show a strong probable connec- tion between the blow and the deatl, Wwe must reach, as it seems to me, the conclusion that, while mathematical demonstration is lacking, the claimant sustained the burden of proof and has shewn by a preponderance of the evidence that the death did resuit from the blod. The award is therefore in favor of the claimant. In this connection I may refer to somewhat similar points presented in Melia ve. Race Brook Country Club, 1 Conn. Comp., Dec., 549; Toole vs. Daly, id, 661; and Coady vs. Igo, in. 576. (Sustained by the supreme court of er- rors, upon another point, 9% Conn., 98 Atl. 328.)

In Northwest Persia the Turks Have Made Gains Over the Russians.- Except for a continuation of the feel- ing of unrest caused by Germany's an- nouncement of a campaign of unre- stricted submaring activity, there Is little of interest in the war news of the day.
