W.A. Fairer, 420 Raleigh avenue, driver of the car has been released under 
bond of $1,000 to answer a charge of involuntary manslaughter in Police 
court Monday morning.
Fairer was going north on Granby street and as approached Thirtieth, 
Constable attempted to cross directly in front of his machine.  He was 
knocke to the pavement with considerable force an rendered unconscious.
Fairer carried him to the Protestant hospital without learning his name, and 
then proceeded to Police headquarters where he surrendered.  He was docketed 
on a charge of assault with an automobile and released on bond.
Shortly before eight o'clock the hospital authorities notified police 
headquarters the aged man was dead and a few minutes later B.F. Foster, son-
in-law of Mr. Constable, telephoned headquarters that his father-in-law was 
missing.
Detective White immediately got in touch with the hospital and the body was 
identified as that of Mr. Constable.
Mr. Constable is survived by a wife, one son, W.C. Constable, Jr. and two 
daughters, Mrs. B.F. Foster and Mrs. L.T. McCann, all of Norfolk.  Funeral 
services will be conducted at the residence tomorrow at 11 o'clock by Rev. 
W.H.T. Squires and interment will be in Cedar Grove Cemetery.
Mr. Constable received injuries on the head and body.
