The cold-blooded murder of the Dubuque physician and father of four led to the execution of Victor Harry Feguer.
Bartels was tricked into answering a call for help. Feguer, seeking a general practitioner who would be likely to carry morphine or demerol, chose his victim from the phone book. Bartels' name had been the first listed. Feguer's appeal was rejected by Harry Blackmun, then a federal appeals court judge in St. Louis and later a member of the United States Supreme Court.
