FBI
records concerning George Kelly concern the FBI
investigation involving the kidnaping of Charles
F. Urschel, a wealthy oil man, on July 22, 1933.
George Kelly, his wife Kathryn, and 19 others were
convicted in this case. Kelly is credited with coining
the phrase "G-men". (When arrested in Memphis on
September 26, 1933, Kelly was reported to have thrown
his hands in the air and cried "Don't shoot, G-men!"
as he surrendered to FBI Agents.)
