Doc Larkin mental state key to Snohomish Tramway claims dispute
Testimony in a Butte circuit court hearing focused on whether James Larkin known as Doc Larkin was of unsound mind when he transferred mining interests in the Snohomish and Tramway properties to the Butte & Boston company. Witnesses described Larkin as often irrational, abusive, and unreliable, with longtime associates noting he appeared “off” and unfit to transact business while guardians fought for the estate.
