MATTER OF MENGELE v. LIEBMANN BREWERIES

Court of Appeals of the State of New York.
May 17, 1962

Order reversed, and award of the Workmen's Compensation Board reinstated, with costs in this court and in the Appellate Division, upon the ground that the record presented an issue of fact as to suicide or accident (see Matter of Wetterauw v. Japan Airlines, 11 N.Y.2d 983, decided herewith; Matter of Graham v. Nassau Suffolk Light. Co., 308 N.Y. 140). No opinion.

Concur: Chief Judge DESMOND and Judges DYE, FULD, BURKE and FOSTER. Judges FROESSEL and VAN VOORHIS dissent and vote to affirm and to dismiss the claim for the reasons stated in the decision at the Appellate Division.
