JOHN T ROGERS, LOUISVILLE BORN REPORTER, DIES
Heart Attack Fatal to Former Times Man, Pulitzer Prize Winner
Friends in Louisville learned Wednesday of the death of John T. Rogers, 56, former reporter for The Louisville Times, at the home of a friend in St. Louis Tuesday night. Mr. Rogers, ace reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1927, died of a heart attack.
Born and reared in Louisville, Kentucky, Mr. Rogers started out as a telegraph operator for the Associated Press. He joined the staff of The Louisville Times in 1913 and while assigned to Police Court, did a column called "Pass 'Em Back." He went to the Post-Dispatch in 1916, but frequently had returned here for visits.
Mr. Rogers' stories on the inquiry leading to impeachment of Federal Judge George W. English, of the Eastern District of Illinois, won for him the Pulitzer Prize of $1000. He gained national recognition for his work on the kidnapping of Dr. Isaac D. Kelly, wealthy St. Louis physician, released to Rogers in 1931.
The former Louisville reporter negotiated for return of Alexander Berg, fur broker, abducted in 1932, and obtained from Mrs. Nellie Tipton Muench, now under 10-year sentence for mail fraud, the admission that the "gift of God" baby hoax was perpetrated to hold the love of Dr. Marsh Pitman. Rogers also was praised for stories on Herrin, Illinois, gang warfare and the Filmore Watt Daniel ID#442351331/ Thomas Fletcher Richard ID#68143589 1922 Ku Klux Klan murders in Mer Rouge, Morehouse Parish, Louisiana. He wrote a small book "The Murders of Mer Rouge" in 1922. I am interested in Mr. Rogers' career as Filmore Watt Daniel is a kinsman.

In 1922, when the Ku Klux Klan was at the height of its activities in Southern States, he investigated the mysterious disappearance of two men, Filmore Watt Daniel #44235131 and Thomas Fletcher Richard #44249207, in Mer Rouge, Morehouse Parish, Louisiana, and obtained the information which led to the finding of the men's bodies in a lake, and to the arrest of members of the Klan (Grand Jury dismissed all charges - no real evidence). Later he wrote a book, "The Murders of Mer Rouge."

The story of George Remus and of the Jack Daniel distillery robbery in St. Louis, a major episode of the Federal prohibition era, was handled for The Post-Dispatch in large part by him.
