Glenrowan
“The excitement in Sydney yesterday, conse-quent upon the fresh outbreak of the Kelly gang in Victoria, and the final deaths or capture of the entire party, has not been paralleled since the news of their first atrocious murders in October, 1878, sent a feeling of horror throughout the colonies.”
“After a disappearance of upwards of 12 months, the Kelly gang have turned up in a most extraordinary and daring manner, and have committed another murder rivalling in atrocity those with which they started their career as bushrangers.”
It is, by now, the accepted belief that at Glenrowan Ned Kelly was riding Joe Byrne’s grey mare, Music. But, with the available contemporary evidence, can we prove this to be the case?
“FROM telegraphic reports to the Sydney newspapers we are enabled to supply the latest particulars of the overthrow of the Kelly gang and the capture of Ned Kelly.”
“After we were bailed up we were taken over to Mrs. Jones’s Hotel, and were kept there until it was determined by Kelly to stick-up Constable Bracken. He permitted Curnow, Mrs. Curnow and myself to go with him in our buggy to the police station, which is about three-quarters of a mile from the railway station, and is not far from Mr. Curnow’s residence.”
