Compensation under the n's] compensation act is allowed Mrs. Mary Jane Asselin, widow of Frask: Asselin of Moosup, in a decision Te dered on Tuesday by Commissioner J. J, Donohue after two, hearings in the case. The insuring company: for the i American Woolen company of ~ Moo- sup by whom Asselin’ was ‘employed, admitted the claim that the tahl - juries to the man were received in the course of his employment, hut contended that they did not arise out of his employment and 'they alse claimed that Asselin was guilty of wilful and serious misconduct, Asselin was fatally isjured on the afternoon of Jan. 31, 1918, when he was struck by an engine either while crossing the railroad tracks near his !

Geath, question serious. willful misconduct cannot :be: M". a defense by the respondents as’ thé decedent’s testimony must meunrlly be lacking and it gives tiie depénd- ents no opportunity to disprove such a claim by the testimony of the de- ceased employes. While we do not follow strictly the Eritish act in this respect, still in or- der to prove the question of serious and wiliful misconduet there must be shown an almost .deliberate act on the part of a decedént or injured em- ploye to bring about bodily injury to home or walking along the banks and | himself. taking a bank to go to his home to get his own axe to do some work with at the mill. He was about 68 years oid and beem in the employ of the company for many years as a gen- eral laborer. Commissioner Donohue finds in fa- vor of the dependent widow as the claimant and rules that she is enti- tled to compensation. which is ordered to be paid in a iump sum for 312 weeks at the rate of $7.44 per week, with medical bills and §$188 for fu- neral expenses. Memorandum of Decision. In his memorandum of decision which discusses the important legal chue supports his rulings by numer- ous references to precedents and says in part as follows: The two points up for consideration in this case are: 1st, did the injury arigse out of the employment; and, 2d, was'the employe guilty of serious and willful misconduect. As to the first question, it is ad- mitted by the respondents that the injury arose in the course of employ- ment, The evidence shows thatwhen the employe met his death it occurred at a time when he was engaged in a work which was to result to the inter- est of the empioyer. e was engaged in ‘doing something which he was frequently in the habit of doing: that he was going home to procure a Itool with which he feit he could do better work or which he felt he could yse more handily than a simiiar tool furnished by the employer. His em- ployer acquiesced in this matter on this occasion and had in the past, and it was a well known fact to his em- niever that he had used his own tools before and was in the habit of using them and of going homa for them when needed, tnd no objection had been made to hig using respondents admitted th reason to object to his usinz his own tools if he preferred.’ On this occa- sion he had been told to get his axe to sharpen for use the next day, and it was known to the cmployer that his axe would be probably at his own home, and whether he was told to go home for his axe or simply to get hi xe is immater: and {he b mer who had told him to get his axe admitted that he expecied when he gave this order that the employe would prefer to use his own axe and that he would go home for it. What the decedent did on this- special occa- sion was that he had been In the habit of doing durine his entire em- ployment with the company and which they had knowledge of, and his entire course of procedure on this occasion was what they ecould have expectel him to do and what they actually did expect him to do as is shown by the testimony of the witness for the re- spondents. In Hours of Employment. The tatal accident o red during the hours in which he = pposed and expected to he in the employ of the respondent company, and he was on pay during those hours. The route which he took to get his axe was shorter, and if any advantaze was to aeerue to anybody it was to acerue to the employer by his tak this shorter way home, even though it was dmittedly dangerous. and he does not appear to have been a man who ever went home during his working Liours for any purpese other than thaf | of doing something for his employer's interest, He was ordered at this particular time to procure an axe, and as one of the witnesses said in the first part of his tesfimony, “to 20 home and get c# axe,” T believe that that was what w actually told him and that was| what tvas reaily expected of him, to 50 home and get his axe, semething ich had been going on during his; ire employment with th respond- | ent company In view of the foregoing eircum- stances and the orders given him, and alse in view of the fact that on this oceasion he had proceeded as he had at npumberiess other times with the company’s full knowledge of just how the decedent’s injury was received in any other way than that of arising both out of and in the course of his employment. So far as the injury arising out of the employment is concerned, it is clearly evident that it did so arise for the decedent at the time he met his death was doing something which he was employed to do at the time; namely, he was procuring a tool which he had been.told to do by his fore- man, and was doing it during the hours of his regular employment and fer his employer's interest. and there was a connection between the condi- tions under which the work was to be performed and the resulting in- jury. In the present case the dece- dent's home was nearer to his place of emplovment probably than was the case with any other employes for the the witnesses for the respondents clearly shows that the respondent had full knowledge of, the decedent's pref- that he often went home for them and that he continually wwent by the short- er route, the railroad track, and al- though he had been eautioned and ad- | vised not to praceed by that route, no established rule is found to have existed or been enforced by the em- ployer, and no employe had heen pen- for w he tracks. As to Miseenduct. Tn deciding the two auestions in dis- rute in the present case, that is the i auestion of the injury arising out of the employment and the question of ‘whether the decedent was guilty of i serfous and willful miscondnst. to a must be treated separately as they are two distinct ! claims made by the rospondents: at {the same time in trc.umg the second [auestion of serious =néd willful mis- ;conduet it must necessarily bhe con- or less with the first question and not en- tively independently of it.” Up ta this point T have endeavored to deal with the question of whether the injury in guestion arose out of the decedent's he' proceaded, T cannot consider that | same respondent, and the testimony of |y, elf. The term “willful misconduct” as ueed 'in the compensation act mu more than negligence, even gross n ligence. To he gulity of wiliful mu— i cenduct the employe must do wrong intentionally consciously, not. simply in a careless manner or in a Wrong way. It must amount to foolhardiness or dare-deviltry. In the present case the decedent simply procteded to his home to get a tool just as he had on 50 many previous occasioms, going the shorter route as was his custom, and there is nothing to show that he was careless in his movements, or willful in his choice of routes as he took his usual route, he probably exercised or- dinary thoughtfulness in his proced- ure, and there is certainly nothing to show that there was any intent on his part which would result in a se- rious accident. Knew Warning Habitually Dunurdcd In the present case the testimony all ‘goes to show that the employer knew that this warniag about walking the tracks was being disregarded con- tinually as the witness for the re- spondent testified that he had told the decedent two hundred times or more not to go by that route, and even on the - day of this aceldent this same witness testified that he had told him to go home and get hiz axe and he presumed that he would go by way the traclks although he testified that he told him to go by way of the road, regarding which testimony I have a certain amount of doubt. The testi- mony in general, however, shows that it was common knowledge to the em- ployer and that the employer permit- ted the employve in question to go home for his own tools, and while they maintain that they cautioned him about going by way of the tracks still they were well aware that that was the route which he continually took and he had never been penalized in any way for so doing, not even =0 much as a threat of penalizing him for doing this thing, waich at the hearing the respondents maintained was so dangerous, but which they stiil allowed the employe to contin- ually persist in with their tull knowl- edge, and against which practice they did nothing more than make a very weak and verbal protest, which was not of nt force, appqxemh to malke any impression upon the em- ploye whatever. It almost raises a doubt in one's mind as to whether any such protests were made, From the evidence I cannot find that there was really any very defi- nite rule about empioyes walking on the railroad tracks, but it is found that there had been some verpal in- structions given the decedent, if we are to accept the testimony of the re- spondents’ witness. To my mind a warning or piece of advice or even instruction cannot be considered a “rule” unless it is established in some sufficient manner so tha{ it will’ be ! properly brought to the attemtion of employe, either b notice congpicucusi, way of a penalty for violation of #ame. In this case, then, there was to my mind no rule that t employe cr any other at this plant shouid not o by way of the railroad tracks. There was simply occasional warn- ings or suggestions about so doing but sich warnings or suggestions are so far from what we could reasonably call established and enforced rules that it would be unjust to the claim- ant to attach very much importance to them, 17 the danger was so great as the respondents’ witness would have us belleve, (now that the actual fatality has occurred) then he was very remiss in his duty fer mot be- ing more striet in ‘the of some penalty to prev violatios as I am In- clined to the b at the serious- ness of this situation only occurred in reality to the mind of the one who was so liberal in his cautions to the decedent after the fatal accident had actually occurred, which as far too late to be of Errors of judgment fall far short of acts of serious and willful miscon- duct, way of a printed posted or by 1t any such Insufficient Warning. After an jnjury has occurred, (which is due in reality more to as error of judgment than lack of care- ful conduct on the part of the em- ploye which could not be character- ized as recklessness or foolhardiness, nor could there be any suicidal intent ploye), after such an injury has oc- curred, then it is not fair for the em- ployer to step behind the defense of serious and willful misconduct, when as a matter of fact he is more culpa- ble for mot enforcing a rule and pen- alizing an employe for violating same, In the present case everything shows that the decedent was working in his employer's jnterest and time by taking the route which he chose to get the tool, and to get back in the quickest way, and his ev: tion shows that he was givi work which he was doing in the in- terest of his employer. To my mind, as stated before, the decedent was guilty of error of judg- mest rather than of serious and will- ful misconduct. There seems to be no doubt but what he had been cau- tioned a number of times about using this railroad track, if we are to be- lieve the testimony .of the witnesses. There was no effort at enforcement of any rule, even if such a rule could be found to have existed. nor was he aver penalized by a discharge from the employer's serv: had walked these same tracks with his employer's knowledge almost con- tinually for some 13 or 14 vears that hle had been in the respondent's em- ploy. A!though it ean be sald that a will- ful violation of a rule of safety made by the proper authority, when that rule is enforced with diligence, will constitute willful misconduct, it must be a rule and not an ordinary warn- ing, apd it yust be diligently en- forced. In thiz case it does not ap- pear -that there was anv efiort to- wards enforcement whatc pears to have been nothi ua] oral warning oece: ts the decedent, employment, as that is the first claim made by the respondents and for the reasons set forth. and the autherities cited en this particular peint, T feel justified in ruling as T have.

ROCKWELL STREET'S IMPROVED SIDEWALK Does’ Away With' Puddly. Stretch That Audony Mam member. Work en the vidt.nint and improve- ment of Rockwell street between Mc- Kinley avenue and Crescent street has progressed so far by the street depart- ment that the new granolithic sidewalk iu Jjust about eompleted and the crush- ed stone foundation for the road bet in the street has all been laid and rolled down. Generations of Academy students, who, winter and summer, have splash- | ed through the deep puddles that every rain or snow made in this stretch of walk will agree that no greater im- provement was ever made in the aity; and the peculiar thing about this piece of walk, which has sometimes been called the worst in the city, is that a large part of -the time it was ecity property and belonged to the city to take care of. Varfous city administrations have gone into spasms of indignation about the poor condition of privately owned walics in different parts of the city, but none ever thought to remedv the hollows and -pyddies of the old flag walk from McKinley averue to Cres- cent street along which, especially in winter and early epri it was a case of problems in navigations for every Academy student. who passed that way. —— e | BORN, GM!!\‘E—-In Norwieh June 18, 1818, a daughter, Bleanora May, to Mr, and Mrs, Waiter A.
