Claim of Prentice v. Weeks

The claimant suffered two injuries, one on June 15, 1931, and another on August 6, 1932. He was a clerk and chauffeur for an undertaker at the time of the first accident, and was injured in the course of his employment, when he fell from a porch, a distance of about fifteen feet.
