state officials plan series of con
ferences in Washington next week
with public works officials in eff
forts to find a way to get the
needed funds legally.
IA total of $1,062,750 of the
proposed allotment would be spent

rmainaer of the sum would be di
ytded between industrial school

Weird MURDER
TRIAL IS OVER
Four Who Plotted Death
for Insurance Will
Die in Chair
By H. ALLEN SMITH
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-(UP)
The fantastic case of michael Nal
low the man who unwittingly re.
fused to be murdered. approached
its conclusion yesterday when q
Bronx jury found four men guilty
of killing the rum-soaked derellct
in order to collect S1,788 in life
insurance. The last chapter to the
strange tale will be written in the
electric chair at Sing Sing.
1t all started about year agc
when Malloy. constantly in an al.
coholic stupor, was frequenting a
speakeasy operated by Anthony
Marine in the Bronx. Malloy was
stationary engineer who appar-
emily never worked.
Marine and his bartender, Joe
Murphy, and Daniel Kreusberg, 4
fruit dealer. put their heads to-
gether and decided to make some
money on the homeless Malloy
They took out as much insurance
as they could obtain on his life,
then set about the task of killing
him.
At first they piled him with
large quantities of liquor, think
ing Maloy would drink himself to
death in short order. But Malloy
seemed to thrive on alcohol. Then
they began serving him wood al
cohol. and Malloy fairly Tapped it
up. Furthermore. it seemed to do
him good. He drank the poison
through last December and Janu-
airy, with no deleterious effects.
The plotters went to Frank
Pasqua, a young and ambitious
undertaken, and put their problem
up to him. Pasqua suggested that
Malloy be killed by an automo-
bile, and that the body be deliv-
cred over to his place of business.
Accordingly, Harry Green, cab
driver, entered the plot.
They got Malloy staggering
drunk, took him out on-the street
in the middle of the night, and
stood him up in the middle OF the
pavement. Green gave himself a
two-block start in his cab and
bore down on the weaving victim,
Malloy staggered aside just as the
cab came at him, and he was safe.
So they took him to another cor
ner, where Green succeeded in
running over him. Just to make
certain, Green backed up and ran
his cab over his man again. Then
they left him. ~,
A few weeks later Malloy
dumbfounded the conspirators as
he walked into Marines speak
easy and said: "Lemme have a
couple of shots of that good alky.'
The plotters, still undaunted, be-
gan serving Malloy sardipes, con-
tanning pieces of chopped tin. NAL
low ate them, smacked his lips
and asked for more. They picked
oysters in wood alcohol and Nal
low ate them all, still standing his
ground.
At this stage the game became
so desperate that the men put
Malloy's Identification in another
derelict's pocket and had. him run
