Leneva Man Saw Kelly Drama at Glenrowan
———
TAMWORTH, Wednesday.
Referring today to a statement published this week that the death of Mr Michael Reardon at Bendigo, on Saturday last was believed to remove the last witness of the Kelly gang shooting at Glenrowan Inn 62 years ago, Mr D. H. Mortimer, of Somerton in the Tamworth district, said today that his father, Mr David H. Mortimer, of Leneva (Victoria), now aged 83, also witnessed the encounter. Mr Mortimer said his father played the concertina to provide dance music for those held in the old inn awaiting the arrival of the police train. His sister’s husband, Mr Curnow, who was the school teacher at Glenrowan, was the man who stopped the police train, saving it from disaster.
