Master and Servant—Finding That Parents of Deceased Were not Dependent Within Compensation Act, Held Warranted.</p> <p>In a proceeding by the parents of a deceased employe under the Workmen’s Compensation Act, held, though decedent gave his mother practically all of his wages, yet, as the father was only 42 years old, in good health, and able to follow his occupation, and the sister, earning $120 a month, contributed nothing to the support of her parents, a finding that the parents were not dependent was warranted.</p> <p>2. Appeal and Error—Verdict not Set Aside as Against Evidence, if There is Testimony to Warrant it.</p> <p>Verdict is never set aside as against the evidence if there is any testimony which could reasonably warrant it.</p> <p>3. Master and Servant—Award Under Compensation Act Treated by Courts as Verdict.</p> <p>An award by the Industrial Accident Board under the Workmen's Compensation Act will be treated as having the same force as a verdict, and will not be disturbed, if supported by evidence.</p>
