# Kathryn Thorne Kelly

Canonical: https://mobfiles.org/people/kathryn-kelly/

Committed for life on 12 October 1933 by the federal court at Oklahoma City for the kidnapping of Charles F. Urschel. The Tenth Circuit affirmed in 1935, and in 1959 reversed an order that had vacated her sentence and her mother's.

No family or role is set; the records describe a conviction, not a place in any organization. The 1935 opinion rejects her defense that she acted under her husband's coercion; the husband is filed under his own records.

No record filed here gives her later places of confinement, a release date, or dates of birth and death.
