On this date in 1933, George “Machine Gun Kelly” Barnes was arrested by FBI agents in Memphis, TN. Kelly, who was asleep when agents burst in on him, surrendered without incident.

Dillinger AND machine Gun Kelly…well done.
Both of them are quite interesting. Thanks for the links.
Stay safe out there,.
