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
