Another McLaury enters the murder trial after the OK Corral fight.
November 4, 1881. Lawyer Will McLaury–the brother of Tom and Frank McLaury–arrives in Tombstone. He will assist the prosecution in the case against the Earps and Doc Holliday, who are accused of murder in the OK Corral gunfight. Later scholars will suggest that McLaury was more hindrance than help. There are rumors to this day that he paid to have Virgil and Morgan Earp shot a few months later.
