Joseph NaIIy Said to Be. One OF
Two Men Who Terror

Washington furnished New York
city with one of the principals in
the sensational shooting affray in a
New York hotel several days ago
in which two men shot down each
other probably fatally.
The Washington product is said
to be Joseph Nally, twenty-three,
whose address is listed as 1852
Fifth street northwest on the books
at detective headquarters. Nally
gave his name as Joseph Mclean
when he was taken to the Bellevue
Hospital in New York.
Nally and former chum, Thomas
''Eggie" Gillen, met in a crowded
New York hotel and began firing
at each other. Nally is said to
have accused Gillen Of having told
the New York police about some
of his alleged operations.
The two were placed on neighbor-
ing cots at the hospital, but Gillen
was changed to another ward when
Nally painted the air blue with
his condemnations. Attendants
feared Nally would attempt to make
good some OF the statements he
made about Gillen.
Nally was arrested here January
%, last. by Detective Sergeants
Vermillion and Cullinane as q fugi-
tive from justice from La Plata,
Nd, where he was wanted for
shooting up the town." Nally
escaped from the La Plata jail.
According to the police here,
Nally is also wanted In Colonial

charges.
