# George "Machine Gun" Kelly

Canonical: https://mobfiles.org/people/george-machine-gun-kelly/

Alcatraz register no. 117. The warden's notebook page records receipt from Leavenworth on 4 September 1934 under a life sentence for kidnapping; the National Archives records his birth year and middle initial two ways.

Kelly is on this archive as a man with a filed Alcatraz record, not through a biography. The National Archives lists him at register number 117 and holds a warden's notebook page and a case file of 1,410 digitized pages. The page and the catalog agree on the dates of his Alcatraz term, 4 September 1934 to 29 May 1951. The role and family fields are left empty because no record cited here states either. Offenses are given as the notebook form prints them; the "Reason for Transfer" boxes are staff opinion and are not used.
