Larkin, les than two years ago, nearly killed his wife, and when Officer Timothy Phelan was about breaking in the door he shot himself through the head. He lingered at St. Catherine's Hospital for several months. When he recovered he was arraigned for attempting to destroy his own life and for firing at Officer Phelan. He escaped at the time without any serious punishment. Brooklyn Eagle January 12, 1886 Frank Larkin, the well-known ball player, is again in trouble, his murderous propensities having once more landed him behind the bars of a jail. This time the charge against him is attempting to shoot his late employer, James. T. McAnany, a Brooklyn saloon-keeper. Larkin was McAnany's bartender, but was discharged recently. On Monday last Larkin went to McAnany's saloon under the influence of liquor and insisted upon fighting a duel with McAnany. He produced two loaded pistols and insisted upon McAnany's taking one and fighting a duel then and there. McAnany tried to reason with Larkin, but the latter stubbornly refused to listen to anyting else but about the duel. Finally, being afraid that Larkin would murder him, McAnay took one of the revolvers and started for a corner. When he reached the door he slid out, locking Larkin in. he hailed an offer who arrested Larkin. He was arraigned the next morning before Just Naeber. To him Larkin said he only wanted a square fight. The other fellow did not run any more risk than he did. Larkin's examination was adjourned for a week, so that he could get the liquor out of him.
