From my biography file:

MALACHI L. HARNEY, (1895-1932) Law Enforcement
Malachi had an illustrious career as Treasury Agent and drug enforcement agent. In 1947 he was named Chief Coordinator of the Treasury Enforcement Agencies. In 1957 he was named Technical Assisant to the Secretary for Enforcement. He was in charge of officers handling narcotics peddlers, smugglers, tax evaders and counterfeiters. In addition to direction the training of Treasruy agents, agencies under his control included the Narcotics Bureau, the Alcohol Tax Unit, Customs and the Secret Service. In 1959, after his retirement from public service, he was named head of the Illinois Division of Narcotic Control. Malachi's brother James G. Harney was a Federal agent during the prohibition era. While searching for the operators of an illegal still in Minnesota, James was shot to death in 1932. That was the same year that Malachi helped build the federal income tax case that sent gangster Al Capone to prision. Malachi died in late February 1984, in Edina, Minnesota. He co-authored the following books on law enforcement with John C. Cross: "The informer in law enforcement" 1968; and "The narcotic officer's notebook," 1973.
Malachi was born June 1895 in Minnesota, the son of James Harney and Anna (Ryan). He married Gladys ---.  No children.  He died 1 March 1984, Edina, MN. - From the New York Times, census records, and obituaries. Chart reference: MNJKL.WES
