Alleged Wheeler Misconduct in Internal Revenue Case
Affidavits from North Carolina deputies and storekeepers accuse Wheeler of payroll misappropriation and coercion, detailing unpaid salaries, endorsed bearer checks, and pressure for reimbursements. Documents cite removals by President Hayes and new collector Everitt, with further charges filed before the Finance Committee and testimony from several Greensboro witnesses.

Revenue officer charged with embezzlement case in Forsyth
A 1881 Forsyth County court record includes an indictment and magistrate appeal concerning W. L Wheeler, a U.S. Revenue collector, for embezzling salary funds from 1880 to 1881. Depositions, grand juror findings, and notices show multiple charges, with witnesses listing storekeeper and gauger duties and disputed pay receipts. Resolutions from Blaine and Logan Club condemn Wheeler and call for a mass convention to back a different Republican candidate.
