All I can tell you is that he was executed. There is no further info given
to me by the State Archivers.

Hi:
>From "The Journals Of Alfred Doten: Page 1288
Gold Hill, Nevada
January 19.....Pete Larkin was hung today at noon at Virginia for the
murder of Dan Corcoran-McEwen and Drury were present and reported the
thing.
There are many references to this murder. If you could give me a little
more information on Peter Larkin, birthplace, birthdate, family
information I will research it a little more when I am at the Nevada
Historical Society. I will also check the Territorial Enterprise
newspaper file. (Paper in Virginia City) and also check and see what we
have on the Gold Hill Newspaper also.
There are a number of Peter Larkin's and P Larkin and I want to check out
the correct one. Would appreciate this information and will get back to
you soon.
Regards, Arline in Reno
