Category: Civilians
“Early on Sunday morning I was awakened by my husband getting out of bed. He went outside, and some one, who turned out to be Ned Kelly, said, “Don’t you know me?” My husband said, “No.” “Oh! you must know me, I’m Ned Kelly;” and he laughed whilst he said it.”
“The outlaws were very civil and joked and laughed with us constantly. They brought us brandy when we required it. Hart said that he had drunk six nobblers of brandy, and it was so bad that if he took another he thought he would lose his head.”
“The case of Mrs Ann Jones, of Glenrowan appears to be an exceptionally hard one.”
