What was the nickname of the Chicago gangster George Nelson?
The birth name of this man was Lester M. Gillis and he lived in Chicago, Illinois. When he began roaming the city streets of the early 20th century, he earned a famous nickname “Baby Face” due to his youthful appearance: that was quite fair, as he was only 14 years old, but already a successful car thief! At the beginning of his "career", Baby Face also stole tires and bootlegged.

Well, I've heard of him and got this question correct; however, in a country where half of the adults can't name the Vice President, we must have one hell of a rock in the United States.

He actually hated that nickname. Thanks for the question from the early twentieth century.
