Kate "Ma" Barker (
October 8,
1871 -
January 16, 1935) was a legendary United States criminal from the "Public enemy (term) era", when the exploits of gangs of criminals in the
Midwest gripped the American people and press. Her notoriety has since subsided, trailing behind
Bonnie and Clyde and John Dillinger.
Early life
Ma Barker was born in
Ash Grove, Missouri, near Springfield, Missouri, and named
Arizona Donnie Clark. Her parents were Conservative Christianity who believed in hard work and traditional values, traits which she embraced. In 1892, she married George Barker. They had four boys, named: Herman, Lloyd, Arthur, and Fred. George Barker departed after the birth of their last son, Fred. There is indication that George Barker was considered a “worthless drunk” and was tossed out by Ma Barker.
Bloody Mama (1970) (movie dramatization) Since she was trying to raise the boys on her own, with little income, they had inadequate supervision and became
Juvenile delinquency. Ma Barker often kept them out of the Criminal justice by pleading with the arresting officers, or throwing tantrums at the police station.
Controversy
Though her children were undoubtedly criminals and their
Barker-Karpis Gang committed a spree of robberies, kidnappings and other crimes between
1931 and
1935, the popular image of her as the gang's leader and its criminal mastermind is a myth.
The actual degree of Barker's own criminality is in doubt. However, she did likely know of the gang's activities and helped them before and after they committed their crimes and, of course, as C. Lotower notes in his popular criminal law treatise of NCCU Law fame, this would make her an accomplice. There is no evidence that she was ever an active participant in any of the crimes themselves or involved in planning them. Her role was in taking care of gang members, who often sent her to the movies while they committed crimes.
Alvin Karpis, the gang's second most notorious member, later said that: Karpis, Alvin with Trent, Bill (1971)
The Alvin Karpis Story Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, New York;
Many, including Karpis, have suggested that the myth was encouraged by
J. Edgar HooverJones, Ken (1957)
The FBI in Action Signet, New York; and his fledgling FBI to justify his agency's killing of an old lady.Gentry, Curt (1991)
J. Edgar Hoover: The Man and the Secrets W. W. Norton, New York, ISBN 0393024040 ; She was shot dead when the FBI raided the cottage she was renting with her son Fred at Lake Weir in the area of Oklawaha, Florida on
January 16,
1935. It was Fred, who was also killed in the raid, that had been the Bureau's main target.

Popular culture
The myth of Ma Barker inspired
James Hadley Chase's novel
No Orchids for Miss Blandish (1939), which features a mother in charge of her sons' gangster mob; this was eventually adapted to stage and screen, though with great difficulty from British censorship guidelines. Her story was adapted in the low budget film
Bloody Mama (
1970), directed by
Roger Corman and starring Shelley Winters as Ma, depicted as a corrupt mother who encourages and organizes her children's criminality. The film featured an early appearance by a young
Robert De Niro as Lloyd Barker.
Another retelling of the legend occurred in the
1996 movie
Public Enemies starring
Theresa Russell. "Ma Barker and Her Boys", an episode of
The Untouchables (1959 TV series), pits
Federal government of the United States Agent
Eliot Ness against the Barker clan, and depicts Ness as leading the assault on Ma Barker and her sons at their Florida hide-out. In real life Ness was not a member of the FBI at the time of the shoot-out, and had nothing to do with the Barker/Karpis case.
The story is also probably the inspiration for the
1977 Boney M music single "Ma Baker", the character of Pa Stark (
Charles B. Middleton) and his sons in the
1938 Republic Pictures movie
Serial (film) Dick Tracy Returns, the Ma Dalton character in the
Lucky Luke comic strip,
Ma Beagle and the Beagle Boys characters in the
Scrooge McDuck universe, and
Anne Ramsey's character Mama Fratelli in the 1985
Richard Donner film
The Goonies, a movie about teenage camaradarie. The
pirate chief and her sons in
Castle in the Sky movie also may have a connection with her story. She may also have been the inspiration for the character Ma Jarrett in the 1949 James Cagney movie
White Heat, and was certainly the inspiration for
Ma Barker's Killer Brood and "Ma Parker" on
Batman (TV series).
The band Maylene and the Sons of Disaster is a concept band whose story is based on the story of Ma Barker and her sons' rise to power and then death on Jan. 16, 1935.
