Unframed

George Francis Barnes Jr. (July 18, 1895 – July 18, 1954), better known as “Machine Gun Kelly”, was an American gangster from Memphis, Tennessee, during the prohibition era. His nickname came from his favourite weapon, a Thompson submachine gun. His most infamous crime was the kidnapping of oil tycoon and businessman Charles F. Urschel in July 1933 for which he, and his gang, collected $200,00 ransom. Their victim has collected and left considerable evidence that assisted the subsequent FBI investigation that eventually led to Kelly’s arrest in Memphis, Tennessee, on September 26, 1933. His crimes also included bootlegging and armed robbery. George died in Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary at the age of 59.
