Would-Be Actor Faces Trunk Murder Charge

Edward J. Palakowski, 26, was charged with homicide in the trunk murder of loan shark James F. Malloy, 53. Investigators say Palakowski admitted accidentally firing during a confrontation over a loan of 140 dollars with 28 dollars weekly interest after Malloy forced him to repay. Malloy's body was found stuffed in a trunk, with three bullet wounds and taped features. Police recovered Malloy’s ring, wristwatch, and a .22 rifle, plus two $50 bills at Palakowski’s West 6th Street apartment and traced the trunk’s movements to a shipping office. Malloy had recently arrived from Philadelphia and stayed in a Central Park West rooming house. Palakowski faced questions over an alibi and a date with a Queens woman on the night of the killing.
