Vordy v. Joseph Horne Co.

Opinion by

Trexler, J.,

William Yordy was employed as a porter by Joseph Horne Company and while upon its premises was killed by a fellow employe. His widow is tbe claimant under the Workmen’s Compensation Act. Her claim was allowed by the referee, sustained by the Compensation Board and by the lower court.
