Speaker 1: I remember so clearly the first time I told this story.
Speaker 1: It was to my good friend Johnny at a bar
Speaker 1: in Atlanta during the summer of two thousand and three.
Speaker 1: After a few bourbon on the rocks, the details were
Speaker 1: just flowing out of me. Muhammad Ali was back to
Speaker 1: boxing in the fall of nineteen seventy after a three
Speaker 1: year suspension for refusing to enter the military draft. There
Speaker 1: were celebrities, politician, journalists, and hustlers from all over the
Speaker 1: country that converged into Atlanta to celebrate his return. I
Speaker 1: told him about a hustler named Gordon Williams, a k a.
Speaker 1: Chicken Man, who was throwing the biggest party of his life.
Speaker 1: But when his guests walked inside, they were greeted by
Speaker 1: seven mask gunmen. Was sawed off shotguns who escorted them
Speaker 1: down to the basement, stripped them out of their clothes,
Speaker 1: and robbed them of a million dollars in cash and jewelry.
Speaker 1: When I was done, Johnny looked at me with a
Speaker 1: shocked expression on his face. Slowly, he turned to the
Speaker 1: stranger sitting at the barn is left and said, you've
Speaker 1: got to hear this story. Then he looked back at
Speaker 1: me and demanded, tell it again, Jeff Okay, Johnny here
Speaker 1: it is. Why did the press keep following this story?
Speaker 1: Mamma Ali, Cassius Clay, there's not one number two. It
Speaker 1: was a big robber. You're ready to worry Blackmark. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I said they had robbed the blackmark. This fight represented
Speaker 1: the brace Muhammad Ali. All the hotels were so loud,
Speaker 1: guys had their rolls royces flown to a Maxi beautiful people.
Speaker 1: Little bit star Ali was in exile in the boxing community.
Speaker 1: He was stripped of his heavyweight title and the big
Speaker 1: fight commissions. No one would touch him. They wasn't diving
Speaker 1: and they were serious dropped because they hadn't known when
Speaker 1: they were robbing. Then they were robbed. So when did
Speaker 1: the investigation end? You wanted from my Heart radio and
Speaker 1: doghouse Pictures. This is fight Night. I'm Jeff Keithing. Ever
Speaker 1: since I was a kid, I've had a passion for
Speaker 1: true crime. It all started forty years ago with my
Speaker 1: dad in a hotel room in New York City. He
Speaker 1: showed me a very r rated film, The French Connection
Speaker 1: Behind My Mom's Back. This nine seventies true crime thriller
Speaker 1: star Gene Hackman as the fearless detective pop by Doyle
Speaker 1: and Fernando Ray as the cunning French heroine smuggler known
Speaker 1: as Frog One. It was a classic depiction of cop
Speaker 1: versus criminal, cat versus mouse, but also showed the incredibly
Speaker 1: thin line between police and the criminals they chase. Needless
Speaker 1: to say, I was hooked. Fast forward twenty years later,
Speaker 1: my dad told me a true prime story that had
Speaker 1: all the same things I loved about that movie. This
Speaker 1: one was based in my hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. Another
Speaker 1: classic case of cop versus criminal, but this time the
Speaker 1: cat protects the mouse. Good morning, Good morning, sir. How
Speaker 1: are you doing. I think I'm okay. This is my dad,
Speaker 1: Tom Keating. He was in Atlanta the night of the fight.
Speaker 1: In fact, he was at the hotel where Muhammad Ali
Speaker 1: was staying, and I called him to ask him a
Speaker 1: few questions about what it was like, and I would
Speaker 1: have been out of my element. And it was just
Speaker 1: an overwhelming array of glitter and clothing and colors and
Speaker 1: festivities and pomp and circumstance, which later was called the
Speaker 1: you know, the most unusual collection of black power and
Speaker 1: black money, uh and sports and in history coming together
Speaker 1: in a city, in our city, in the city that
Speaker 1: I've been in since, so it would have been just
Speaker 1: over years later. When I was an aspiring screenwriter in
Speaker 1: my early thirties, my dad told me this incredible story
Speaker 1: for the very first time. He remembered the headline from
Speaker 1: the morning he left on his honeymoon with my mom,
Speaker 1: so I dragged him down to the Decatur Library to
Speaker 1: find out more. After hours searching through microfilm, we finally
Speaker 1: got it. This is from the Atlanta Journal Evening edition,
Speaker 1: October ninety. It was written by Orville Gaines and Larry Woods.
Speaker 1: The headline reads like this, after fight partygoers robbed of
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand in cash jewelry. My dad grinned when
Speaker 1: he saw my reaction, and I said to him, this
Speaker 1: is going to be my next film. This set me
Speaker 1: on a path that led to the podcast you're listening
Speaker 1: to right now. The interviews in this show spent is
Speaker 1: to four decades and were sourced from all kinds of
Speaker 1: things like VHS tapes, microcossette camp orders, phone calls, anything
Speaker 1: I could get my hands on. Some of these tapes
Speaker 1: were never meant to be heard by anyone but me,
Speaker 1: so bear with me because some of the recordings are
Speaker 1: higher quality than others. But now many of the people
Speaker 1: involved in this story are no longer alive, and I
Speaker 1: need you to hear from them, the ones who lived it,
Speaker 1: in their own words, so you can truly believe what happened.
Speaker 1: After researching several more articles from newspapers around the country,
Speaker 1: I was able to zero in on one of the
Speaker 1: top cops on the case, J D. Hudson, and with
Speaker 1: the help that the Public Affairs Division of the Atlanta
Speaker 1: Police Department, I tracked him down and got an interview.
Speaker 1: On July one, two thousand two, I parked my STUV
Speaker 1: on a street in southwest Atlanta and walked to the
Speaker 1: front of J. D. Hudson's house. I knocked lightly on
Speaker 1: the door and waited. When he finally came out, j
Speaker 1: D immediately reminded me of the character Shaft played by
Speaker 1: Richard Rowntree in the nineteen seventies crime films Shit, Chef's
Speaker 1: his name, Chef's his game. He blocked the entrance while
Speaker 1: puffing on a white out miniature cigar and blew a
Speaker 1: big smoke ring that engulfed my head. He said, I
Speaker 1: don't have to talk to you. I don't have to
Speaker 1: talk to anybody, now get inside. While I was grateful
Speaker 1: to escape the heat, j D was not particularly welcoming.
Speaker 1: He didn't say a word as he led me back
Speaker 1: to his living room and plopped down into his worn recliner.
Speaker 1: Turned his attention back to the Williams sisters playing at
Speaker 1: Wimbledon on TV. J D made it clear he would
Speaker 1: not be turning off the game, though we did lower
Speaker 1: the volume and notch is kind of a throwaway courtesy.
Speaker 1: I pressed the record button and I asked my first quest,
Speaker 1: gen what happened the night of the robbery? All right,
Speaker 1: take me back to this party, because I'm so confused
Speaker 1: about the point I think. Let me try to get
Speaker 1: that you thankless birthday. J D told me about a
Speaker 1: hustler named Fireball who asked his friend Chicken Man, toast
Speaker 1: a big party in Atlanta after the Ali Corey fight.
Speaker 1: Who's who of hustlers and gangsters from New York, Philly,
Speaker 1: Miami and other big cities around the country were all invited.
Speaker 1: Chicken Man wanted this to be like New Year's Eve,
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and Marty Grawl all rolled into one
Speaker 1: big party and matter after the frightenes. Okay, when you
Speaker 1: talk about a hustles party, rich very rich people, heaven,
Speaker 1: the food you can eat right out of you can
Speaker 1: drink Okay, Okay, that the big chatter they depend the
Speaker 1: girls man. Okay, movie kind of stuff and expects him
Speaker 1: and how about a day you know? Right? J D
Speaker 1: had risen through the ranks of the Atlanta Police Department
Speaker 1: to become the first black man in charge of internal affairs.
Speaker 1: He also knew the world of these hustlers, and he
Speaker 1: personally knew several of the people directly involved in the
Speaker 1: party and the robbery. In fact, he grew up with
Speaker 1: some of them in a predominantly black neighborhood in Atlanta
Speaker 1: known as Buttermilk Bottom. I grew at an Atlanta the
Speaker 1: neighborhood known as the Whole foot Water but that was
Speaker 1: baptized at age twelve and the Butt Street Baptist Stretch
Speaker 1: from Butler Street. I looked at the Salmon School. There
Speaker 1: was some check Jackson and d l being on a Wednesday.
Speaker 1: J D knew the world of hustlers and low level
Speaker 1: criminals from an early age, but he was also front
Speaker 1: and center in the earliest days of the civil rights movement.
Speaker 1: Also that I had contact with Andy. I'm starting to
Speaker 1: cooking and King and I were friends. And yeah, most
Speaker 1: people in the movement Lenne King then Brown as we
Speaker 1: grew up together, griping in my MC together. The Butler
Speaker 1: Street y m c A was a very important institution
Speaker 1: located uh in the Sweet Arban district of the Old
Speaker 1: Fourth Ward. This is Dr Maurice Hobson, Atlanta historian, scholar
Speaker 1: and author of the award winning book The Legend of
Speaker 1: the Black Mecca, Politics and Class and the Making of
Speaker 1: Modern Atlanta. Though it served, as you know, a venue
Speaker 1: for the young Man's Christian Association, it also served as
Speaker 1: the venue for the Hungry Club, which was the black
Speaker 1: political sphere in Atlanta. So any political figure that was
Speaker 1: interested in courting the black vote had to come to
Speaker 1: the Butler Street y m c A. As with most
Speaker 1: places in the United States, African Americans were designated it
Speaker 1: two low lying areas that oftentimes with flood it was
Speaker 1: undesirable land because standing water or stagnant water that made
Speaker 1: it more accessible for yellow fever malaria across the American South.
Speaker 1: If you lived in that area, that was called the bottom.
Speaker 1: So every black community across the American South, there's always
Speaker 1: the bottoms, and it usually floods. That particular area becomes
Speaker 1: very much a haven. As to how Black America really
Speaker 1: begins to congregate, j D never intended to be a cop,
Speaker 1: but when he decided to take the officers exam, he
Speaker 1: aced it. He was destined for a life enforcing the
Speaker 1: law as one of Atlanta's first black policeman. And I
Speaker 1: sat down and picks in and made the highes bo
Speaker 1: that side. It came up faces. I was one in
Speaker 1: the chief praade with Herbert Jenkins, and he sware me
Speaker 1: in as a Niga Polies, sware me in as a Nigatholies.
Speaker 1: J D dealt with the same struggles that many black
Speaker 1: men and women faced in Atlanta during the Civil Rights movement,
Speaker 1: and the chief of Police, Herberty Jenkins, who swore j
Speaker 1: D n using a racial slur, would develop into a
Speaker 1: progressive leader defending the black citizens in the city. You
Speaker 1: noticed I I didn't notice it. I just thought about
Speaker 1: a respect because I'm used later when he evolved and
Speaker 1: founded being one of the most liberal police chiefs in
Speaker 1: the country. There's no accident that the headquarters of all
Speaker 1: the civil rights movements located in the Atlantic because the
Speaker 1: protection the lad Abo Atlanta said the government through her
Speaker 1: Virginia's he would not allow whites to attack rights in Amata,
Speaker 1: and he demanded were not have arresting. Atlanta was not
Speaker 1: gonna be torn about our rights. Now. We were restrictive.
Speaker 1: We could not arrest right people. We could not arrest
Speaker 1: white people in Atlanta. When the first black cops were
Speaker 1: commissioned by the City of Atlanta, it was seen as
Speaker 1: purely ceremonial and symbolic. However, the power bestowed upon them
Speaker 1: as police officers had little to no effect. They had
Speaker 1: no real policing powers. They could not arrest white people.
Speaker 1: They were not even allowed to use the locker rooms
Speaker 1: at the Atlanta Police station, and so they had to
Speaker 1: get dressed at the Butler Street Y m c A.
Speaker 1: And we worked uh all of the Avenue Van City
Speaker 1: far as the avenue whatever. That was gradually expanded, but
Speaker 1: we started it was very restrictive. Things eight hours. We
Speaker 1: were not allowed to drive through his uniform through the
Speaker 1: white community. We were not allowed to well our uniforms
Speaker 1: home made defense on white prison. It was fascinating. You know,
Speaker 1: you're a guy who had unprecedented authority in the back community,
Speaker 1: no black man and whield the authority and in latter
Speaker 1: in the city. As a matter of fact, that a
Speaker 1: black policeman did, people did what you told him to do.
Speaker 1: People ask you for information, that you were the webserviction there.
Speaker 1: People smiled and waved at you. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: people who followed us around us that we want as
Speaker 1: every one on. Black people were very proud about. Yes
Speaker 1: they were. Black communities of Atlanta were extremely proud of
Speaker 1: these black police officers. And one of the things that
Speaker 1: was characteristic of these police officers is that many of
Speaker 1: them were from the community in which they were police,
Speaker 1: and so there was a trust between black communities and
Speaker 1: the black police officers. And the rules and laws changed,
Speaker 1: you still had hostility, had resentment. Ah ask a couple
Speaker 1: of guys who didn't want to work from me, who
Speaker 1: were white. Once they wake from me, they want to
Speaker 1: leave men. I was hin the top of the hill,
Speaker 1: I was hot, stunned, I was police celebrity. That was
Speaker 1: the vie White brothers on the police department. He's a
Speaker 1: big to write with me. So it makes some cases.
Speaker 1: J D had been dealing with inequality and racial tension
Speaker 1: on the Atlanta police force for years. In fact, early
Speaker 1: on he wasn't allowed to arrest white people, but he
Speaker 1: would eventually be faced with an even more complicated dilemma
Speaker 1: having to arrest black people who were out fighting for
Speaker 1: his rights as a black man. This tension came to
Speaker 1: a head at a place called Lebs Diner. Here's Dr
Speaker 1: Hobson so. Lebs Diner was a New York delicatessen that
Speaker 1: was located across from what is now the rialto Unlucky
Speaker 1: and Forsyth in the early nineties sixties. It was a
Speaker 1: whites only restaurant with the students of the Atlanta Student movement.
Speaker 1: It was one of the restaurants where black students would
Speaker 1: come and promote non violent direct action. And so this
Speaker 1: was one of the lunch counters that they would go
Speaker 1: to and to be seated in a respectful manner, and
Speaker 1: usually the police would show up, had to arrest people.
Speaker 1: Uh done. It's a rights movement who were fighting for
Speaker 1: my freedom, half of my right to vote, my right
Speaker 1: to be a citizen at the resting. You know, so,
Speaker 1: I guess I should be a very bitter man. Some
Speaker 1: of the challenges of a black police officer was how
Speaker 1: to earned the respect of their constituency, but at the
Speaker 1: same time, how to enforce the laws which sometimes are
Speaker 1: created to marginalize this franchise, criminalized and demonized the same communities,
Speaker 1: and which the from Oftentimes, black police officers may have
Speaker 1: been harder on black communities then white police officers, because
Speaker 1: what the black police officers were trying to do was
Speaker 1: trying to show the white establishment that they were not
Speaker 1: like some of these criminals in the black community. Being
Speaker 1: one of the first black police officers in the country
Speaker 1: was very empowering for j D. But it also presented
Speaker 1: a constant dream of moral dilemmas. As he rose through
Speaker 1: the ranks of the Atlanta p D, his job became
Speaker 1: increasingly complicated, a delicate balancing act between his responsibilities and
Speaker 1: limitations as a black cop. By seventy j D. Hudson
Speaker 1: had been promoted to the head of internal affairs for
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Police Department, having risen through the ranks more slowly,
Speaker 1: he says, because he was never one to suck up
Speaker 1: to his superiors. It was the same year that j
Speaker 1: D was given an incredible assignment to guard Muhammad Ali,
Speaker 1: a k A. Cassius Clay. In the days leading up
Speaker 1: to his triumphant return to boxing, I had the responsibility
Speaker 1: of Goden Cassius Clay, because that in about five thousand
Speaker 1: threats against the Slight. So I had been with him
Speaker 1: all day, and I cared him to the fight and
Speaker 1: led him into the range. Matter of fact, I got
Speaker 1: beat up. See his head is on around me and
Speaker 1: I was walking in front of it. God was practically
Speaker 1: only hid and so I was a debate that stayed
Speaker 1: with him for twenty whiles a day, seven days a week.
Speaker 1: The time he got into and he left, I ran
Speaker 1: into all kinds of people rich and the famous and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But j D had no idea about
Speaker 1: the million dollar heist which was brewing behind the scenes
Speaker 1: of Ali's comeback fight, or that less than twenty four
Speaker 1: hours later the chief of police would assign him the
Speaker 1: case of his life. J D's assignment made perfect sense.
Speaker 1: He was the best man for the job and one
Speaker 1: of the only men on the force who was able
Speaker 1: to navigate the world of both cops and criminals, and
Speaker 1: he understood the relationship between the two. Were there any
Speaker 1: police than they were in love to, you know, illegal
Speaker 1: activities back in the seventies of that time, policeman involved,
Speaker 1: and every hustle and every city in this country. Okay,
Speaker 1: money is exchanging hands, always had, always as well, okay,
Speaker 1: and the press is trying to clean us up, right,
Speaker 1: And I'm being a trader to the policeman because they
Speaker 1: don't like me, because this ain't supposed to say it.
Speaker 1: Everybody loves the cooking cops get red boded those and
Speaker 1: everybody encourages the proper to be cooking. They won't admitted.
Speaker 1: Oh hell, I don't care. Two manion policemen m two
Speaker 1: many hustles paroh right. See, that's a world if you
Speaker 1: don't know about it. That's what I'm trying to reach
Speaker 1: as the world girl't know about. Chief of Police Herberty
Speaker 1: Jenkins needed j D for two reasons, to navigate racial tensions,
Speaker 1: and because he was an honest cop. But j D
Speaker 1: said that jenkins confidence in him was isolated. He felt
Speaker 1: that others on the force, the press, and even the
Speaker 1: FBI seemed to judge him based on racial stereotypes, which
Speaker 1: had been advanced by pop culture for decades. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I understand black books to the second, and you state
Speaker 1: them so step and fetch it was more or less
Speaker 1: kind of a black face caricature. When we begin to
Speaker 1: talk about caricatures, particularly black caricatures, what we're talking about
Speaker 1: our aspects of minstrel shows. This is not for a candidate.
Speaker 1: This happens to be a cod And so there's a
Speaker 1: longstanding history in the United States dating back to the
Speaker 1: eighteen twenties that deals with minstrel shows and what minstrel
Speaker 1: shows are where these exaggerated characters of who black people
Speaker 1: were supposed to be that were often performed by white ethnics.
Speaker 1: And so they took a fictitious narrative of who black
Speaker 1: people were as dumb and ignorant and promiscuous and and
Speaker 1: you know, self loathing and slower the uptake. They took
Speaker 1: that to be real. And so when we think about
Speaker 1: the embodiment of you know, and ain't Jemima Uncle ben
Speaker 1: uh step and fetch it, the notion was to promote
Speaker 1: a white supremacy that showed that the most unintelligent white
Speaker 1: person was smarter than the smartest black person. This was
Speaker 1: a real conversation around white supremacy. You don't know, that's
Speaker 1: for nothing. They're dumb as white man it's black man. Okay.
Speaker 1: At the end of Southern you'll tell you that. Okay,
Speaker 1: right now, I had to take off from guys who
Speaker 1: couldn't chat max usely, right, my boss. Right, I'm a lawyer.
Speaker 1: I think about it. I knew what happened, I knew
Speaker 1: about the party, I knew about the people. I understood
Speaker 1: the culture of the night in question of the culture
Speaker 1: the people there. So now JD is heading up the
Speaker 1: investigation into the heist that stole the spotlight and the
Speaker 1: headlines from Muhammad Ali's epic comeback fight, and in those
Speaker 1: headlines you start to see a very interesting narrative emerge.
Speaker 1: Fight fans are invited by engraved invitation two hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollar hold up. Police say, hold up conceived in New
Speaker 1: York lottery figure and girlfriends saw it in two hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollar fight. Party plucked by robbers to Chicken Man,
Speaker 1: says chicken Man. Who was this Chicken Man? I had
Speaker 1: to find out, So I kept digging into more and
Speaker 1: more headlines and saw this name Chicken Man pop up
Speaker 1: over and over again as the prime suspect who organized
Speaker 1: the heist. I asked j D about it, and he
Speaker 1: said that his boss, the FBI, and other policemen were
Speaker 1: pushing this hustler. Street named Chicken Man as the prime suspect,
Speaker 1: but j D wasn't so sure. Chief Chaplains, who at
Speaker 1: that time was super detective, believe ah. He said that
Speaker 1: he had the most relivable meation in the world. Uh,
Speaker 1: that was Chicken Man in his group. That he set
Speaker 1: the whole thing up. That was just a buncha boo.
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell my boss that, but I told the
Speaker 1: chief that. So the Chief said, it's your decision, you
Speaker 1: make it, and I did. Chicken Man had been a
Speaker 1: person of interest to the Atlanta p D for years
Speaker 1: for crimes ranging from bootlegging and drugs to running illegal lotteries.
Speaker 1: J d's boss, Chief of Detectives, Charles Chaffin, believed Chicken
Speaker 1: Man had organized the after hours party so he had
Speaker 1: all the side information he needed to also organize the heist.
Speaker 1: But j D didn't believe the heightst originated in Atlanta
Speaker 1: at all. In fact, he thought Chicken Man had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with it. J D would turn out to
Speaker 1: be onto something with that New York connection, and we'll
Speaker 1: explore that in more depths throughout the story. But for now.
Speaker 1: What's important to remember is that Chicken man, whose real
Speaker 1: name was Gordon Williams, was already a big time hustler
Speaker 1: making a lot of money in Atlanta. J D believed
Speaker 1: it just didn't make sense for him to put all
Speaker 1: of that on the line by robbing his own party,
Speaker 1: let alone the types of high level gangsters that could
Speaker 1: have and would have had him killed. J D had
Speaker 1: a moral code. While he was absolutely toughest nails as
Speaker 1: a cop and wanting to put away criminals, he would
Speaker 1: never even consider penning a crime on someone that didn't
Speaker 1: do it, and he resented those above and around him
Speaker 1: who would have done just that. I always called myself
Speaker 1: a cold, better professional. Now I didn't care who you are.
Speaker 1: I love the hated You had nothing to do. Mean
Speaker 1: folks in the law. You know my best friend, and
Speaker 1: I caught your body. No, I locked you up. You
Speaker 1: might waste any man person. I hate it with all
Speaker 1: kinds of passion. If you didn't do anything wrong, I
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna bother you, and it bothered me the policeman
Speaker 1: when in fact trying to get this man killed. I
Speaker 1: knew they were gonna kill it, and the police were
Speaker 1: going to be responsible because they kept on bless his
Speaker 1: name out of the police say an FBI. They thought
Speaker 1: he had robbed a black mafia. The figures black hustlers
Speaker 1: in this country, some of the toughest men in this country,
Speaker 1: some of the dead list men in this country, Guys
Speaker 1: who would not hesitate to blow your head off because
Speaker 1: you stepped on that shoe. They would have killed it.
Speaker 1: And according to the New York Times, that's exactly what
Speaker 1: they did Wednesday, October, informed sources associate created with the
Speaker 1: police department suggested today that the police believe Williams planned
Speaker 1: the robbery to raise funds to repay a large debt.
Speaker 1: The sources also said that the Atlanta police now believe
Speaker 1: Williams is dead as the result of a contract released
Speaker 1: on him Gangland Terminology for an arrangement of his murder,
Speaker 1: and over the next six months, more bodies would be
Speaker 1: discovered from Atlanta to New York. As I read this
Speaker 1: article on microfilm at the Decatur Library, my mind was
Speaker 1: racing my main source for this story. The lead investigator
Speaker 1: into the heist, Detective J. D. Hudson, didn't believe Chicken
Speaker 1: Man had anything to do with the robbery, but now
Speaker 1: I find out he's dead. So if Chicken Man didn't
Speaker 1: do it, who did? And who killed Chicken Man fighting?
