Appearances

Mr. B. J. O'Rourke, for the Claimant, 2 Lafayette
Street, New York City

Mr. Samuel Kaltman, representing the Employer
and the Aetna Life Insurance Company

Mr. O'Rourke: I would like an adjournment and I was wondering if the carrier would produce Mr. Murray and Mr. Schwartz, the employers in this case? If they will bring them in, why, I will not have to subpoena them.

Mr. Kaltman:

Mr. O'Rourke:

Mr. Murray and Mr. Schwartz?

That is right.

Mr. Kaltman: I certainly shall produce them on

Mr. O'Rourke's say so if they are material.

Mr. O'Rourke: Yes.

Mr. Kaltman: May I state an objection on the record so there will not be any question at a future time? We contend there is no proof of an accidental injury arising out of and in the course of the employment within the meaning of the law; secondly, that there is no notice of any such accident within

the statutory period; third, the death is not the natural and unavoidable result of an accidental injury within the meaning of the law.

The Referee: On claimant's application, adjourned.

(Mr. Kaltman returns.)

Mr. Kaltman: In that case I have learned a claim has been made by a mother as a dependent within the meaning of the law. I want to add my objections, and I so informed Mr. O'Rourke of that fact,

-of no dependency.

Action: On claimant's application the case is adjourned.

of such accidental injury within the statutory period, and death was not the natural and unavoidable result of an accidental injury within the meaning of the law, together with the objection to any dependency, and he requested we produce Mr. F. F. Murray and Mr. Schwartz. Is Mr. Murray here?

(No response.)

Mr. Kaltman: Is Mr. Schwartz here?

(No response.)

Mr. Kaltman: I notice a memorandum on my file to the effect a letter was sent to Mr. Murray asking him to be present, at his own request. Mr. Murray stated Mr. Schwartz could not be present. I don't think there would be any reason for going into the question of dependency until the other questions are disposed of.

Mrs. Doyle: I was certainly partially dependent on the boy.

The Referee: No, there is no use going into it without a claim is established. Without the witness you can't proceed.

Mr. Kaltman:

The Referee:

pear?

Mr. Kaltman:

I don't know what they want.
Neither of the witnesses can ap-

One I understood was going to be

here. A letter was sent him at his request, and the other could not be here. I don't believe he will be here if he is not here now.

Mrs. Doyle: He promised to be here the last time. He told me personally he would be here.
