Murder of Artemus Ogletree |
On January 5, 1935, a man who had given his name as Roland T. Owen, later identified as Artemus Ogletree, died at a hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, United States, of beating and stabbing injuries. |
His death was preceded by a two-day stay in Room 1046 at the Hotel President in the city's Power & Light District marked by communication with someone named "Don", and unusual behavior and incidents noted by the hotel's staff, before he was found wounded in his room the morning of his death. |
When no next of kin could be located, leading to suspicions that his name was an alias, his body was stored in a local funeral parlor for almost two months. |
A planned burial in the city's potter's field was averted when an anonymous donor provided funds for a funeral and a floral arrangement signed "Louise". |
The man's true identity remained unknown for a year and a half until Ruby Ogletree, an Alabama woman who had seen a photo of a distinctive scar on his head in the news, identified him as her son Artemus. |
She said he had left Birmingham in 1934 at the age of 17 to hitchhike to California. |
Later she received two letters purportedly from him, some from as far away as Egypt. |
In August 1935 a caller claiming to be from Memphis, Tennessee, told her that Artemus was in Cairo. |
The letters had also been sent after Artemus's death. |
Records kept by shipping companies found no records that Ogletree had gone to Egypt. |
No other suspect has ever been identified. |
The letters later were used to link the killing to a 1937 murder in New York, but no charges were filed against the man arrested in that case, one of whose aliases had been "Donald Kelso". |
The FBI later investigated but was unable to produce any new leads. |
In 2012, a historian at the Kansas City Public Library wrote two posts on the library's blog about the case. |
At the end of the last one he revealed that in 2003 or 2004, he had taken a call from someone out of state related to the case. |
The caller said that they had been helping to inventory the belongings of a recently deceased elderly person when they found a box with newspaper clippings about the Ogletree case and an item mentioned repeatedly in the stories, but they refused to say what that item was. |
The Kansas City police continue to investigate. |
Artemus Ogletree was born in Florida in 1915, one of three children. |
During his childhood an accident with some hot grease left a sizable scar on his head above his ear, which remained hairless afterward. |
In 1934 he left his family, by then living in Birmingham, Alabama, to hitchhike to California. |
He kept them updated on his progress by mail; they wired him money. |
Early on the afternoon of January 2, 1935, Ogletree walked into the Hotel President, in the Power & Light District of Kansas City, Missouri, and asked for an interior room several floors up, giving his name as Roland T. Owen, with a Los Angeles address. |
Staff remembered him as dressed well and wearing a dark overcoat; he brought no bags with him. |
Ogletree paid for one night. |
The staff noted that in addition to the visible scar on his temple, he had cauliflower ear, and concluded he was probably a boxer or professional wrestler. |
They believed him to be in his early 20s. |
Randolph Propst, a bellhop, accompanied Ogletree up in the elevator to the 10th floor. |
On the way, Ogletree told him that he had spent the previous night at the nearby Muehlebach Hotel but found the $5 ($ in current dollars) nightly rate too high. |
Propst opened Room 1046, which per the guest's request was on the inside, overlooking the hotel's courtyard rather than the street outside. |
He watched as Ogletree took a hairbrush, comb and toothpaste from his overcoat pocket, the extent of his unpacking. |
After Ogletree put those items above the sink, he and Propst left the room. |
The bellboy returned to lock it, and gave Ogletree the key. |
After returning to the lobby, he saw Ogletree leave the hotel. |
A short time afterward, Mary Soptic, one of the hotel maids, returned from a day off to work the afternoon shift. |
She went into Room 1046 and was surprised to find Ogletree there, since the previous night a woman had been in the room. |
She apologized, but he said she could go ahead and clean the room. |
While she did, she noticed that he had the shades drawn and left only one dim lamp on. |
This would remain the case when she encountered Ogletree in the room on other occasions during his stay. |
"He was either worried about something or afraid" in addition to this preference for low light, she told police later. |
After she had been cleaning for a few minutes, Ogletree put his overcoat on and brushed his hair. |
He then left, but asked her to leave the room unlocked as he was expecting some friends in a few minutes. |
Soptic did as he asked. |
At 4 p.m., she returned to the room with freshly laundered towels. |
Inside, the room was dark. |
She saw Ogletree lying on the bed, fully dressed. |
Visible in the light from the hallway was a note on his bedside table that read "Don: I will be back in fifteen minutes. |
Wait". |
The next morning, Soptic returned to Room 1046 around 10:30. |
The door was locked, which led her to assume that Ogletree was out since it could only be locked from the outside, but when she opened it with her own key Ogletree was present, sitting in the dark just where he had been the previous afternoon. |
The phone rang and he answered it. |
"No, Don, I don't want to eat. |
I am not hungry. |
I just had breakfast ... No, I am not hungry", he said. |
Still holding the phone, Ogletree asked Soptic about her job as she cleaned. |
He wanted to know if she was responsible for the entire floor, and if the President was residential. |
He repeated his complaint about the Muehlebach's exorbitant rates, after which she finished cleaning, and left. |
Again at 4 p.m., Soptic returned with fresh towels. |
Inside Room 1046, she could hear two men talking, so she knocked. |
A voice she described as loud and deep, probably not Ogletree's, asked who it was. |
She responded that she had brought fresh towels, to which the voice said "We don't need any". |
Yet Soptic knew there were no towels in the room, as she had taken them herself in the morning. |
Two hours later, Jean Owen of Lee's Summit, near Kansas City, checked into the President after having shopped in the city for a few hours. |
Feeling sick, she had decided not to drive back home that night. |
She was given Room 1048; her boyfriend, who worked in a flower shop in the city, came to visit her there at 9:20 p.m. and stayed for two hours. |
Later that night, she told police, she heard men and women talking loudly and profanely all over the floor. |
Owen was not the only person to note unusual late night activity on the President's 10th floor. |
Elevator operator Charles Blocher, who began his shift at midnight, reported later that he was fairly busy until 1:30 a.m. After that time, most of the hotel quieted down for the night, except for a loud party in Room 1055. |
Blocher recalled one visitor in particular, a woman he had seen at the hotel visiting male guests in their rooms on other occasions and thus believed to be a prostitute, a conclusion shared by other hotel staff who were familiar with her. |
She came in first sometime during his first three hours; he took her to the 10th floor where she asked about Room 1026. |
Five minutes later, the elevator was summoned there again; it turned out to be the same woman, who expressed puzzlement that her client was not in Room 1046 since, she said, he had called her and on previous visits with him he had always been present. |
She wondered if, in fact, he was in Room 1024 since she could see through the room's transom window that the light was on in there. |
She remained on the floor after the conversation. |
A half-hour later, Blocher got another signal to take the elevator back to the 10th floor. |
The woman was waiting again and he took her down to the lobby. |
An hour later he took her, and a different man, to the 9th floor. |
At 4:15 a.m., a call from that floor turned out to be the woman; he took her to the lobby and she left the hotel for the night. |
Another call to the 9th floor 15 minutes later turned out to be the man who had come up with her. |
He told Blocher he could not sleep and was going out for a walk. |
Whether these activities are related to the Ogletree case has not been established. |
He may not have been at the hotel earlier that night. |
At 11 p.m. Robert Lane, a city worker driving on 13th Street near Lydia Avenue, saw a man dressed in only an undershirt, pants and shoes run into his path and flag him down. |
When Lane stopped, the man apologized, saying he had taken Lane's car for a taxi. |
The man asked Lane if he could take him to somewhere he might be able to get a taxi. |
Lane agreed and let the man in. |
"You look as if you've been in it bad", he observed; the man swore he would kill someone else tomorrow, presumably in retaliation for whatever had been done to him. |
In the mirror Lane saw a deep scratch on the man's arm; he also noticed that he was cupping his arm, possibly to catch blood from a more severe wound. |
At the nearby intersection of 12th Street and Troost Avenue, where taxi drivers often waited for fares during the overnight hours, Lane stopped and let the man out. |
The man thanked him, got out, and honked the horn of a taxi parked nearby, drawing the driver from a nearby restaurant, after which Lane drove away. |
After Ogletree's death, Lane went to view the body. |
He saw the same scratch on the arm and went to the police, telling them he believed Ogletree had been the man he picked up. |
At 7 a.m., a new switchboard operator, Della Ferguson, came on shift. |
She was preparing to make a requested wakeup call to Room 1046 when she noticed a light indicating that the phone there was off the hook. |
