Ledger-Star  January 27, 1933
William A. King, 43, of the 700 block of Twenty-seventh street, died today at 
12:53 a.m. at St. Vincent’s Hospital of a fractured skull sustained when he was 
struck by or walked into an automobile driven by D. V. Savage, 3200 block of 
Verdun avenge, Tuesday night at Eighteenth and Church streets. The charge 
against Savage has been changed from assault with an automobile to manslaughter.
King was crossing Church street when the accident occurred and Savage contends 
that the accident was unavoidable as the man walked into his car. The injured 
man was taken to the hospital in a passing car, with Savage accompanying him. An 
examination revealed that King had received a fractured skull, a fracture of the 
right ankle and numerous cuts and bruises.
Despite efforts to save him, King failed to rally to treatment and death 
resulted.
Savage was arrested by Sergeant F. I. Archibald and charged with assault with an 
automobile.
An inquest into the death of King is to be held Tuesday, it was announced today.
King was unmarried. He was a native of Norfolk, a son of the late Thomas and 
Mrs. Bridget King, and is survived by a sister, Mrs. W. J. Walsh, of Norfolk, 
and three brothers, E. J. King of Cincinnati, Thomas P. and B. J. King, both of 
Norfolk.
The body will be taken from the residence of his brother-in-law, William J. 
Walsh, 740 East 27th street, to St. Mary’s Catholic church for funeral services 
Monday morning at 10 o’clock. Interment will be in St. Mary’s cemetery.
