# Harvey Bailey's Alcatraz inmate case file, No. 139 (National Archives catalog entry)

Canonical: https://mobfiles.org/items/nara-117695666-bailey-alcatraz-case-file/

Catalog entry for the Alcatraz case file of register no. 139, about 2,000 pages, not digitized. The description gives receipt from Leavenworth on 4 September 1934 and transfer back on 8 September 1946.

The catalog title is "BAILEY, HARVEY JOHN - Alcatraz Number 139." The file unit belongs to the series Comprehensive Case Files of Former Inmates Incarcerated at U.S. Penitentiary, Alcatraz, California, in the Records of the Bureau of Prisons at the National Archives at San Francisco. The catalog gives the size as "ca. 2,000 pp." and lists no digitized pages, so the pages themselves have not been read for this archive; the page count is NARA's estimate.

The catalog description gives these fields: offense "KIDNAPPING & HOLDING FOR RANSOM (URSCHEL)"; received at Alcatraz 09/04/1934; transferred 09/08/1946 to US Penitentiary, Leavenworth. Those are the catalog's entries, not readings of the file.
