The house on 857 E. Mulkey St. where George "Machine Gun" Kelly lived with his wife Kathryn Thorne in 1933. He lived there when he and his bride kidnapped Charles Urschel (big deal Oklahoma Oil millionaire) and held him for a $200K ransom on July 22, 1933.

The ransom was paid and they released the oil baron on July 30, 1933 somewhere around Norman, OK. Mr.& Mrs. Machine Gun took it on the lam to Memphis where they were subsequently (September 26) busted and sent to prison.
