| Text | Frank Larkin, the base ball pitcher, is again in trouble. A year ago, while intoxicated, he struck his wife in the face, fracturing her jaw. Officer Tim Phelan went to arrest him and Larkin fired at him. The ball made a slight gash on the officer’s face. Larkin then cut his own thrat without serious injury. Six months ago he was tried for shooting his wife and sent to the Penitentiary for six months. An indictment is hanging over him for shooting Officer Phelan. He was released from the Penitentiary last week and his father gave him a room in his house, at No. 93 North Fourth street, and an overcoat to protect him from the inclemency of the weather. Larkin pawned the overcoat last Saturday and purchased a revolver. He got drunk and was out until 4 o’clock in the morning. When he went into the house he flourished his revolver and threatened to shoot his parents and every person in the house. He was so violent in his actions that Sergeatt Burford, of the Fifth Precinct, was notified, and two policemen arrested him.. Old Mr. Larkin found the revolver and gave it to the police. The prisoner was held in $1,000 by Justice Nacher this morning. Brooklyn Eagle February 18, 1884 Terry Larkin, the “terror,” has served out his Penitentiary term and is at liberty once more. He was present at the ball grounds in New York and Brooklyn last week. He was very subdued, and has promised reformation. St. Louis Post-Dispatch May 6, 1884 |
