In the Matter of the Claim of Clara Cooper, Respondent, against Brunswick Cigar Co., Inc., et al., Appellants. Workmen’s Compensation Board, Respondent.

Award of death benefits. There was medical evidence from which the board could find that the heart attack which caused the death was produced by the labor incident to the employment. Award affirmed, with costs to the Workmen’s Compensation Board. Hill, P. J., Heffernan and Russell, JJ., concur; Brewster and Deyo, JJ., dissent upon the ground that the record is barren of any legal evidence to support the findings of an accidental experience.
