      Nathaniel L. Goldstein, Attorney-General (Gilbert if. Landy, Wendell P. Brown and Roy Wiedersum of counsel), for appellant.
    Decedent’s death arose out of and in the course of his employment. (Matter of Giliotti v. Hoffman Catering Co., 246 N. Y. 279; Matter of Finnegan v. Biehn, 276 N. Y. 50; Matter of Pisko v.

      Charles P. Barre for respondents.
    Decedent’s death was not the result of accidental injuries arising out of and in the course of the employment. (Matter of Pisko v. Mintz, 262 N. Y. 176; Matter of Comr. of Taxation & Finance v. Brookshire Constr. Co., 251 App. Div. 761, 275 N. Y. 578; Matter of Comr. of Taxation & Finance v. Fure, 241 App. Div. 644, 264 N. Y. 678; Matter of Daus v. Gunderman & Sons, 283 N. Y. 459; Matter of Doris v. National Biscuit Co., 214 App. Div. 827; Matter of Fagan v. Simonsen, 215 App. Div. 849.)
   Per Curiam.

There was evidence to support the conclusions of the Workmen’s Compensation Board, first, that the fire originated from a source separate and apart from the employee; second, that, since that was so, there was no question but that the death arose out of and in the course of the employment; and, third, that the employer and carrier had failed to establish that the injury and the ensuing death were * solely occasioned by intoxication of the * * * employee ” (Workmen’s Compensation Law, §§ 10, 21, subd. 4). We pass upon no other question.

The order of the Appellate Division should be reversed and the award of the Workmen’s Compensation Board affirmed, with costs in this court and in the Appellate Division.
