On the authority of that case, claimant is entitled to an award, and the only question for this Court to decide is as to the proper amount that should be awarded.

Prom a consideration of the evidence as offered by claimant, and the State, it is the opinion of this Court that claimant shall be awarded $750.00.

It is accordingly the judgment of this Court that she be awarded the sum of seven hundred fifty and 00/100 ($750.00) dollars.
