Mobile’s Forgotten Officer Remembered 100 Years Later

MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) – Officer Charles Haggerty was the second officer ever killed in the line of duty in Mobile, but it’s taken 113 years to learn his story. Officer Roy Hodge discovered a note that led him to track down Haggerty’s story.
“There was a note written next to his photo,” Hodge said after thumbing through a history book.
It said, “your father was the last man to see Haggerty alive, at 2:30 a.m., he was murdered on Conti St. near Gov. St.”
