MACKEY RULES IN HEARSAY PLEAS Important Question Settled by the State Compensation Board in Opinion The St&to Workmen's Compensation Board in an exhaustive opinion by Chairman Jlackey has upheld Referee Klauder, of Philadelphia, in making an award to Grace A Keller In a com pensation claim for the death of her 'husband, an employe of the Aubrey Ice and Coal Company. Philadelphia. The man died from illness which, it was claimed, was caused by an tnjury, and the opinion deals with the ad missibility of evidence in compensa tion cases. The widow has live chil dren under 10 years of ago and her husband earned $5 a week. "We are not unmindful of the dif ficulties of proof, as frequently death closes the avenue of direct testimony, for by the very nature of the employ ment many of these accidents happen with no eye-witness," says the opinion. "Perhaps we have gone as far as any board '•> insisting upon what might be called f tmmon law evidence,' but we are aware that tl\e courts are grad \ially opening the doors to testimony that might In the old practice be repugnant to traditional theories\\nd are coming to the conclusion that often the statement of a deceased Is so closely related to the main event under consideration that when taken with its corroborating circumstances and the evidence of physical injury which the body of the deceased presents all leads the mind to a firmer conviction and a more satisfactory result than often times can bo reached through the me dium of witnesses whose credibility is not beyond impeachment or whose memories arc at least treacherous and uncertain." The eight-year-old son of the de ceased was the chief witness for the claimant.
