225 A.2d 857

BLAKE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, ET AL. v. WELLS

Court of Appeals of Maryland.

Decided January 27, 1967.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

H. Algire McFaul, with whom were Simpson & Simpson, Vivian V. Simpson, Joseph B. Simpson, Jr. and Alfred H. Carter on the brief, for appellants.

Martin E. Gerel, with whom was Leonard J. Ralston, Jr., on the brief, for appellee.

The cause was argued before HAMMOND, C.J., and MARBURY, BARNES, McWILLIAMS and FINAN, JJ.

McWILLIAMS, J., delivered the opinion of the Court.

Dorita Wells (appellee) is the widow of James Wells, the circumstances of whose tragic demise during the early hours of 15 December 1962 persuaded the Workmen's Compensation Commission to reject her claim for compensation. This is the appeal of the employer, Blake Construction Company (Blake), and its insurer, from the judgment of the trial judge (Pugh, J.) reversing the action of the Commission.
