Alfred G. Wheelock : ウィキペディア英語版 | Alfred G. Wheelock
Alfred Green Wheelock (born May 14, 1912 in Johnson City, Tennessee), was the son of Sam Wheelock and Carrie Ledford, local store merchants. Alfred married Juanita Rosenbaum and later married Lorena Barnes. Alfred's young life involved running corn liquor in the hills of East Tennessee where he and his brothers met Al Capone sometime between 1928 and 1931. The moonshine business was booming and all trains on the east coast ran through Little Chicago. Johnson City was a meeting place for many mob bosses to do business because it was a halfway point from Chicago to Miami and is believed the nickname Little Chigago was given by the mobsters. During this time, Alfred, and his brothers Don and Sam (Bruce), were invited into the world of organized crime running corn liquor, brothels and private road houses. It was handed down from Alfred to family members that Al Capone wanted Alfred and brothers to start dealing drugs Reefer Madness in the area of East Tennessee and Alfred declined to do so. Because of this, it is believed * by the brothers that some of Al Capone's men had Alfred and Bruce framed for larceny and armed robbery. Alfred and Bruce did 4 years in the Brushy Mountain State penitentiary in Tennessee. Alfred was also charged with possession and sale of corn whiskey.〔Lendt, ''Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary (1940 Census ) and Wheelock family Information''〕 ==Baseball Player==
