Arthur "Doc" Barker, American Gangster

A criminal history card for Arthur "Doc" Barker following his arrest showing that he was transferred to Alcatraz Prison on October 26, 1935. Arthur R. Barker (June 4, 1899 - January 13, 1939) was an American criminal, the son of Ma Barker and a member of the Barker-Karpis gang, founded by his brother Fred Barker and Alvin Karpis. Generally known as "Doc", Barker was typically called on for violent action, while Fred and Karpis planned the gang's crimes. He was arrested and convicted of kidnapping in 1935. Sent to Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary in 1936, he was killed three years later while attempting to escape from the Rock. Barker is described by one writer as "a dimwit and a drunk", who was little more than a brutal thug. However, fellow Alcatraz inmate Henri Young said of him that he was "determined and ruthless, and that once he started on anything nothing could stop him but death.".

Arthur "Doc" Barker, American Gangster
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Una tarjeta de antecedentes penales de Arthur "Doc" Barker tras su arresto que muestra que fue trasladado a la prisión de Alcatraz el 26 de octubre de 1935. Arthur R. Barker (4 de junio de 1899 - 13 de enero de 1939) fue un criminal estadounidense, hijo de Ma Barker y miembro de la pandilla Barker-Karpis, fundada por su hermano Fred Barker y Alvin Karpis. Generalmente conocido como "Doc", Barker solía ser llamado por acciones violentas, mientras que Fred y Karpis planeaban los crímenes de la pandilla. Fue arrestado y condenado por secuestro en 1935. Enviado a la Penitenciaría Federal de Alcatraz en 1936, fue asesinado tres años después mientras intentaba escapar del Peñón. Un escritor describe a Barker como "un imbécil y un borracho", que era poco más que un matón brutal. Sin embargo, su compañero recluso de Alcatraz, Henri Young, dijo de él que era "determinado y despiadado, y que una vez que empezaba algo, nada podía detenerlo excepto la muerte".
