DEATH NOT CONNECTED WITH HIS . EMPLOYMENT. Compensation Commissicner James J. Donohue Disallows Claim = Against U. S. Envelope Company. hetween the Finding no_connec death of Frank E. Dicizel and his employment with the United States Envelope company of Rockville, Com- pensation Commissioner James J. Don- obue, in a decision announced Friday afterncon has disallowed the claim for compensation made by the dece- dent’s widow. Anna A. Dietzel The hearing was held at the com- miesioner’s offics ir this city on Dec. 4ih. From the testimony it is found that the claim of the widow was that on April 26th of the present year the @ncedent was sitting on a box and while engaged in drawing 2 nali from . the'board on which he was e decedent that he con- | about two It is found his work for weeks and -that he first sought medics! attention about a week afer the date| { the alleged injury. He was treated by various physicians from this time | ntil the date of his death, which | was Nov. 2d. 1917. i The commissioner disallows f#he | laim for compensation for the reasons | set forth in_ a- memorandum which | accompanies the finding and which is as_follows: This is a claim for compensation for isability acd death for an injury ai-} jeged to have been recelved at the! jamt of the respondest company in | Bodtvitie. ‘ana’ o mave arisen out of | and In the course of deccdent's em- Ployment. although formal notice of | the injury is disclaimed by the insurer- | reapondeat. | The injury is_claimed to have been received while the decedent was sit ting on a box and removing & nail from same the board on which he was sitting gave way and struck him in the back The injury was of no ap- parent serious note and he continued %o work for some weeks afterwards, making no complaint to- the company of any injury or suffering -from any fmmediate disability. He consulted a doctor_about a week after the injury is said to have occurred and subse- Quently consulted several different physicians. no one of them giving him any very great amount of relief, and Be_ uitimately died on Nov. 2d, 1917. The statement of the attending phy- sician Dr. Willilam B. Gillespie, was to the effect that the decedent “was suffering from a foreign growth in the Posterior portion -of - his _abdominal Cavity.” and that it was his conclu- sion that this growth was not caused ty any injury as alleged. An_autopsy was performed by Dr. Flaherty in company with Drs. John & Boucher and William B. Glilesple, and at that aufopey it was revealed that the decedent had been eufferinz from a large malignant mass which imvolved the head of the pancreas and also the liver, and, this mass had %o connection or adhesions along- the spine. and .examination of the verte- Brae showed no abnormality or dis- #ase to any of them. The statement from Dr.-Boucher was o the effect that he had previousiy operated on this man and had found Bis liver studded with cancer, and tha sutopsy confirmed his previous oper- stive findings.. The statement of another of the at- tending physicians. Dr. O'Loughlin, was to the effect that he had treated he man and while under his treatment Be complained at all times of somed) pain in his risht side but -did not Somplain of anv_pain In his_back. An examin:fion of the patiént was made by Dr. Paul P. Swett of Hart- ford and there were present also Drs. esii - and Wells. Dr. Gillesple had » X-ray photograph of the sack and this showed no dis or fracture of any bones of n’s body, and ‘after a thoroukh amination, they were all convincel he was not suffering from th sults of any injury. but the physi Glans @id find _that there was a for_ @ign growth in the posterior portion of the abdominal _cavity. Dr. Ernest A. Welis, who was also present at the examimation of the de- Sedent with Drs. Swett and Gillespie, stated that they examined the decedent 1o ascertain whether he was suffering from an injury or disease. and they found there was a growth in the po: terior portion of the abdominal cav- ity. and he stated further that he was able to state that this growth was Bot in any way reiated to an injury illeged to have been received by this man some time in the spring of 19 The statement from E. H. Woodford, superintendent of the Rockville plant of the U. S. Envelope Co. was to the effect that Frank Dietzel had been in the company’s employ prior to June 1st, 1817, for a great many years as Tarpenter and_gencral wood worker, that on or about June ‘st Mr. Dietzel.did not_show. up.at the factory and ‘on inqliiry they found hé was sicx but no accident was mcntioned. Two weeks later Mrs. Dietzel called upon the -superintendent and stated that her husband was not at all well but they didn't seem to know what the matter was.and that he had called a doctor who was treating him for a cold and that he had gotten over that and complatned of illness. Later it was intimated that Mr. | Dietzel might have injured himser: some three months before that time end his wife thought he ought to have compensation, but the employer was unable to get any information as to the nature of the allezed injury. On July 17th Mr. Dietzel sent word to have the foreman at the factory call upon him and he then learned that Mr. Dietze! was being treated by a shiropructdr named Carlson for an ¥ to the back, but the not been able to get definite nature con- at the hearing in behaif | cedent was a statement by concerning his father having J an injory such as has pre- been described, and also the of the chiropractic physi- o testified that he found = on of the spinal column with-cer- o phenomena present tending to ppor: the claim of an injury having been received. The effort on the part or this chiropractic to connect this wlleged injury to the -spinal. column: with a sarcomae of the pancreas fell far short of estabiishing anything that bad the semblance of a substantial claim. even though the testimony of the other physicians were not taken into consideration at all. His claim | that the spinal nerves which emerge; at the particular point of the claimed | injury had a direct conncction with the pancreas is not based upon sound GIFT SUGGESTIONS FROM THE THIRD FLOOR Real Leather Luggage Handsome Bags and Suit.
