Harvey Bailey Seeks Parole
Harvey Bailey one of the 1930s most notorious criminals has hired an attorney to seek parole from his Leavenworth sentence for the 1933 Urschel kidnapping. At 68 he has served 22 years. Kansas City attorney Joseph N. Miniaco says he sought intercession from Urschel’s kin and from Judge Edgar S. Vaught in Oklahoma City. The piece links Bailey to the Kansas City massacre and other gangland figures, noting his prison escape in 1933 and subsequent recapture. The article also mentions a Life Insurance Company study reporting more men than women in the United States hospital to mental disorders.
