His establishment was one of several owned by popular Bowery characters, most notably Mush Riley, whose dive bar was located just a few doors away from The Ruins.[1][3] Malloy's nickname was derived from "his love of boiled oysters",[4] and, according to Frank Moss in The American Metropolis from Knickerbocker Days to the Present Time (1897), when his mother commented on his diamonds and fine clothes would respond "Arrah, mother, I've struck it. I'm living on biled oysters."[5] A criminal associate of Patsy Conroy and his gang, Malloy was involved in an incident with Conroy, Bill Cummings and Charley Mosher one night at a Hester Street dive bar in the Bowery. All four had been wounded, the most serious being Conroy who was shot in the arm and Cummings in the chest, while Mosher and Malloy had only minor injuries. Shortly after their arrival, local thief Jim McGuire entered the bar with some recently stolen goods. McGuire, in high spirits, bought a round of drinks for the four men. A verbal altercation between Cummings and McGuire led to Conroy demanding a percentage of McGuire's merchandise. When McGuire tried to leave, he was stopped and attacked with Malloy and his companions helping themselves to McGuire's goods.[5] References1. ^1 Asbury, Herbert.
