TO HOLD INQUEST
Coroner enquires into auto death of little boy
North Tonawanda, Sept. 6 - Accompanied by State Trooper J. S. Cole, Coroner J. E. Helwig today visited the scene of the fatal accident that resulted in the death of Clyde Cozad, six years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cozad, when run down by an automobile driven by Richard E. Keingenberg of Niagara Falls on the Ward Road near St. Johnsburg yesterday afternoon. The officers took measurements and questioned a number of school children and residents in the vicinity as to circumstances connected with the case. Some of them corroborated the statement of the driver that the boy ran across the highway in front of his car, but the boy's mother told The Courier-Express representative that her son was standing in the driveway in front of his home when struck and carried 40 feet along the highway. Dr. Helwig said that he will hold an inquest before rendering a verdict. The boy's funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the residence. Burial will be in St. Mark's Cemetery on the Niagara Falls Boulevard. The Rev. Paul Fretthold of St. Mark's Evangelical Church, Washington Street, will officiate.
