George and Kathryn
Barnes

Let me tell you about George Barnes.

He rode along the outlaw trail.

Hm. That doesn't sound quite right.

Let's try again.

Let me tell you about R. G. Shannon.

He rode along the outlaw trail.

No, that's not it.

Well, what about:

Let me tell you about Machine Gun Kelly.

He rode along the outlaw trail.

By George, I think he's got it!

Yep. The real name of Machine Gun Kelly, bank robber and kidnapper, was George Barnes. And of course, everyone knowns that Machine Gun Kelly was the man who dubbed the federal agents with their tough sounding nickname.

Too bad the story is a bunch of bullshine, balderdash, and poppycock.

However, the stories you hear about George's wife, Kathryn, are not the balderdash you might think.
