Milwaukee Murder Suspect Faces Quick Trial for Slaying
Harold W. McLaughlin, 28, a Milwaukee resident and former hospital inmate, was ordered to stand trial for first degree murder in the April 4 killing of six year old Ben Wagner after a disorderly conduct charge was dropped. He spoke only to say he wanted to take his medicine as a mental exam was expected at trial. The case began with McLaughlin admitting the knife slaying and molestation of the boy, who was lured into a car near a store and found in an Ozaukee County ditch. Two waitresses identified him as the man who bought the last meal known as Little Boy Blue.
