Excerpt from Report of Cases Under the Workmen's Compensation Act: Determined on Appeal by the Supreme Judicial Court, Jan. 1, 1921, to Dec. 31, 1921, Inclusive If there is any evidence or if it can be rationally inferred that the employee fell into the elevator well while in the course of his employment, either because the doors were open or he accidentally fell against them and pushed them open, then the finding of the Industrial Accident Board must stand; but if there is no evidence to support the finding of the Board, or if on the whole evidence and drawing every reasonable inference it can only be conjectured in what manner and from what cause he met his death, so that the mind is left in suspense and doubt, and where one conclusion is as rational as the other, then the cause of death is matter of mere Speculation, and it has not been Shown that the injury arose out of and in the course of his employment.
