Prosecutor Dewey Sent His Attorney to Poison Lucky Luciano — The Attorney DIED With Poison Instead

Описание: March 19th, 1938. Delmonico's Restaurant, Manhattan.

Twelve men gathered for a private celebration dinner.

Lucky Luciano was there. Temporarily released from prison for a "legal
consultation" that somehow ended up being a champagne toast at one of
New York's finest restaurants.

His attorneys were there. His business associates. Meyer Lansky. And a
man named Richard Morrison—a defense attorney who'd recently joined
Luciano's legal team.

Morrison had good news. A procedural error in Luciano's trial. Grounds
for appeal. A reason to celebrate.

He ordered champagne. Moët & Chandon, 1921. Expensive. Twelve glasses.

Morrison stood up. Made a toast. "To Charlie Luciano. To beating the
system. To freedom."

Everyone raised their glasses.

Everyone clinked.

Everyone drank.

Thirty seconds later, one man collapsed.

Foam coming from his mouth. Body convulsing. Gasping for air.

Dead in two minutes.

But it wasn't Lucky Luciano.

It was Richard Morrison. The man who made the toast.

And the reason Morrison died instead of Luciano comes down to one
thing: a habit Luciano had followed since he was fifteen years old.

A paranoid habit. A careful habit. A habit his father taught him.

Never drink from the glass someone gives you. Always switch it.

Morrison handed Luciano a poisoned glass that night. Cyanide in
champagne. Colorless. Odorless. Fatal.

But in the two seconds between receiving the glass and the toast,
Luciano did what he always did. He switched it with someone else's glass.

He didn't know it was poisoned. Didn't suspect Morrison. Just followed
an old rule.

And that rule saved his life.

This is the true story of the victory dinner that became a funeral. The
attorney who tried to poison Lucky Luciano. And the paranoid habit that
turned an assassination into suicide.
