Probably the biggest legal star in his 65 yr law career was when he conducted the preliminary hearing for two men who later were convicted of murder and executed. It was about 1929 when Vincent Grammer hired Alson Cole to kill his mother in law, Lulu Vogt, who owned a farm and other property near Elba. Cole was captured and escaped to Wisconsin. The Howard County Sheriff went to Wisconsin to bring him back for Trial. Cole confessed and said he had been hired by Grammar for $500 to kill Mrs Vogt. After preliminary hearing in Ralphs Court, the two men were tried in Howard County District Court, found guilty and condemned to death.
In the 1930 census his occupation is given as Lawyer City Attorney, and as we know he later joined with his son Richard to form the Legal firm of "Haggart & Haggart" Ralph died in January 1982 at Saint Paul, Howard County Nebraska. His second wife Beulah died in February 1986 also at St Paul.
