Unable to determine who was at the wheel of the Livingston car at the time of the crash, the jury returned a verdict of "accidental collision of an automobile driven by Leslie or Thomas Livingston with a house trailer attached to an auto driven by M.C. Musser." Musser, Marion Creek, first motorist to reach the scene after the accident; Homer Livingston, father of the victims, and Captain A. A. Morrison of the Stanislaus Highway Patrol were among principal witnesses at the inquest , conducted by Coroner George Sovern. Leslie Livingston was almost instantly killed, while Thomas lived several hours after the crash. Joint funeral services for the two victims will be held at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the Sovern Funeral Home. Interment will be in the Modesto Cemetery. Hope this helps and I will look for more information. Transcribed by Minnie Lewis
