245 N.W. 803 | Mich. | 1932
This is review upon certiorari of an award of the department of labor and industry in favor of plaintiff, guardian of John Simpson, mentally incompetent.
Simpson was an operator of a boring machine in the plant of defendant employer. He was observed "standing in front of the machine operating it the way he was supposed to operate it." Soon thereafter he was found lying on top of the machine, unconscious, suffering from a fractured skull. No one saw the accident. Simpson, being mentally incompetent, was not a witness at the hearing. The department in making findings might draw all rational and natural inferences from the facts and circumstances shown. Under the authority of Papinaw, v. RailwayCo.,
Affirmed.
