Claim of Konieczny v. J. Kresse Co.

The Industrial Board has found, upon competent supporting evdence, that the deceased employee, as the result of accidental injuries sustained in his employment, became insane, due to which insanity he committed suicide as the result of an uncontrollable impulse and without conscious volition, and that said death unavoidably resulted from the said accidental injuries.
