Description
Mrs. Minnie M. King made a claim for death benefits under the Workmen's Compensation Law against Thomaston Mills, as employer, and American Mutual Liability Insurance Company, as insurer, on account of the death of her husband, Stanley C. King. On the hearing of the case, the defendants admitted that, on August 23, 1951, Stanley C. King was employed by Thomaston Mills and was earning more than $55 per week, and that the employer had notice of the accident on this date and had notice of King's death on August 26, 1951. The claimant testified substantially as follows: She is the widow of Stanley C. King, and there are no minor children surviving him. King was working on one of the looms tended by the claimant in the weaving room of Thomaston Mills; he was putting in a gear on the loom, which would not take up and roll the cloth being woven. He was checking to see if the loom would take up the cloth, when the claimant went to the water house. He said he had to clean up the job and pick up his tools, the waste, gears and bolts. This was shortly after 6 a.m. on August 23, 1951. The claimant, Mrs. King, came back from the water house two or three minutes later, and found her husband lying on the floor in a puddle of blood. He was about 60 feet from where he had been working and was right at the water house. He seemed to be unconscious and was carried to the office in the front of the mill, where they washed the blood from his face. The claimant was not allowed to see him, and when she saw her husband next, he was in a hospital in Atlanta, unconscious. He had had a pretty bad cold for a day or two before it happened and was not working on Monday and Tuesday, but came to work on Wednesday night. He worked on the shift from midnight until 8 a.m.
