Alcohol plants operated by Chicago hoodlums may be part of the Al Capone network, according to Nelson Carver, special government prosecutor, who hinted here today that Capone's troubles with the federal government may include several Wisconsin affairs.
Although nothing specific has been charged against Capone in connection with the liquor racket here, government officials are checking up raids on stills in Kenosha, Sherwood, Kewaskum and plants in northern Wisconsin, it was disclosed.
W. Frank Cunningham, deputy prohibition administrator here, has often claimed that the stills seized with Chicago operators were part of the Capone rum syndicate.
Capone, besides facing federal tax evasion charges, was recently indicted by a federal grand jury on liquor conspiracy charges.
There is also a possibility that the government may file liens against certain properties near Eagle River, said to be owned by Capone or his aids.
