George Kelly Barnes (July 18, 1895 – July 18, 1954),[1] better known by his nickname 'Machine Gun Kelly', was an American gangster from Memphis, Tennessee, during the prohibition era. His nickname came from his favorite weapon, a Thompson submachine gun. He is most well known for the kidnapping of the oil tycoon and businessman Charles F. Urschel in July 1933, from which he and his gang collected a $200,000 ransom.[2] Urschel had collected and left considerable evidence that assisted the subsequent FBI investigation, which eventually led to Kelly's arrest in Memphis, Tennessee, on September 26, 1933.[1] His crimes also included bootlegging and armed robbery.
Career[edit]
During the Prohibition era of the 1920s and 1930s, Kelly worked as a bootlegger for himself as well as a colleague.[3] After a short time, and several run-ins with the local Memphis police, he decided to leave town and head west with his girlfriend. To protect his family and to escape law enforcement officers, he changed his name to George R. Kelly.[4] He continued to commit smaller crimes and bootlegging. He was arrested in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1928, for smuggling liquor onto an Indian Reservation, and sentenced to three years at Leavenworth Penitentiary, Kansas, beginning February 11, 1928. He was reportedly a model inmate and was released early. Shortly thereafter, Kelly married Kathryn Thorne, an experienced criminal who purchased Kelly's first machine gun and insisted – despite his lack of interest in weapons – on his performing target practice in the countryside, and went to great lengths to familiarize his name within underground crime circles.[5]
Nonetheless, Kelly's last criminal activity – the successful July 1933 kidnapping of wealthy Oklahoma City resident, Charles F. Urschel and his friend Walter R. Jarrett – would become his undoing. The Kellys demanded a ransom of $200,000 ($3.9 million today), and held Urschel at the farm of Kathryn's mother and step-father.[6] Urschel, having been blindfolded, made note of evidence of his experience, including remembering background sounds, counting footsteps and leaving fingerprints on surfaces in reach. This proved invaluable for the FBI in its investigation, as agents concluded that Urschel had been held in Paradise, Texas, based on sounds that Urschel remembered hearing while he was being held hostage.
An investigation conducted in Memphis disclosed that the Kellys were living at the residence of J. C. Tichenor. Special agents from Birmingham, Alabama, were immediately dispatched to Memphis, where, in the early morning hours of September 26, 1933, a raid was conducted. George and Kathryn Kelly were taken into custody by FBI agents and Memphis police. Caught without a weapon, George Kelly allegedly cried, 'Don't shoot, G-Men! Don't shoot, G-Men!' as he surrendered to FBI agents. The term, which had applied to all federal investigators, became synonymous with FBI agents. The couple was immediately removed to Oklahoma City.[7]
The arrest of the Kellys was overshadowed by the escape of ten inmates, including all of the members of the future Dillinger gang, from the penitentiary in Michigan City, Indiana, that same night.[8]
On October 12, 1933, George and Kathryn Kelly were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. The trial was held at the Post Office, Courthouse, and Federal Office Building in Oklahoma City.
An investigation in Coleman, Texas, disclosed that the Kellys had been housed and protected by Cassey Earl Coleman and Will Casey, and that Coleman had assisted George Kelly in storing $73,250 of the Urschel ransom money on his ranch. This money was located by Bureau agents in the early morning hours of September 27 in a cotton patch on Coleman's ranch. They were both indicted in Dallas, Texas, on October 4, 1933, charged with harboring a fugitive and conspiracy, and on October 17, 1933, Coleman, after entering a plea of guilty, was sentenced to serve one year and one day, and Casey, after trial and conviction, was sentenced to serve two years in the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas.[9]

The kidnapping of Urschel and the two trials that resulted were historic in several ways. They were:
- the first federal criminal trials in the United States in which film cameras were allowed;
- the first kidnapping trials after the passage of the so-called Lindbergh Law, which made kidnapping a federal crime;
- the first major case solved by J. Edgar Hoover's FBI; and
- the first prosecution in which defendants were transported by airplane.
Death[edit]
Machine Gun Kelly spent his remaining 21 years in prison. During his time at Alcatraz, he got the nickname 'Pop Gun Kelly'. This was in reference, according to a former prisoner, that Kelly was a model prisoner and was nowhere near the tough, brutal gangster his wife made him out to be. He spent 17 years on Alcatraz as inmate number 117, working in the prison industries, and boasting of and exaggerating his past escapades to other inmates, and was quietly transferred back to Leavenworth in 1951. He died of a heart attack at Leavenworth on July 18, 1954, his 59th birthday, and was buried at Cottondale Texas Cemetery with a small headstone marked 'George B. Kelley 1954'.[10] Kathryn Kelly was released from prison in 1958 and lived in relative anonymity in Oklahoma under the assumed name 'Lera Cleo Kelly' until her death in 1985 at the age of 81.[11]
In popular culture[edit]
Machine Gun Kelly and his crimes are portrayed in films such as Machine-Gun Kelly (1958), The FBI Story (1959) and Melvin Purvis: G-Man (1974).
Crime novelist Ace Atkins' 2010 book Infamous is based on the Urschel kidnapping and George and Kathryn Kelly. Kelly is (along with Pretty Boy Floyd and Baby Face Nelson) one of the main characters of the comic book series Pretty, Baby, Machine.
George and Kathryn Kelly were the inspiration for 'Machine Gun Kelly' (1970), a song written by Danny 'Kootch' Kortchmar and recorded by James Taylor on his 1971 album Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon.
Machine Gun Kelly is the stage name for American rapper Colson Baker, from Cleveland, Ohio.
Kelly was an inspiration to the popular UK punk band, The Angelic Upstarts, for their track “Machine Gun Kelly” written by Thomas ‘Mensi’ Mensforth.

Machine Gun Kelly has been relatively quiet since he last dropped off his latest album General Admission back in October. In fact, the only two tracks we heard from MGK this year were Cleveland Cavalier-inspired records, with his “4th Quarter (Freestyle)” & “Til I Die” remix. Today, MGK decides to return to the music scene by sharing an all new original record on his Youtube channel titled “Young Man” featuring unlikely collaborator Chief Keef.
Take a listen to the Slim Gudz-produced banger and let us know what you think. If you’re feeling it, be sure to show your support on iTunes.
