Death notices for Archibald McPhee and Horona McDonnell.
“Sir,—Having seen several letters in reference to the Glenrowan tragedy, in which the writers are strongly condemning the police, I think that, although not belonging to that force, I might throw some light on the subject and explain the circumstances that resulted fatally to some of the unfortunate prisoners in the house at the time.”
“There is nothing fresh to report about Ned Kelly’s condition nor his diet, which is still farinaceous. The armor which he wore when captured was brought to Melbourne. It was taken to the Minister of Railways’ office this afternoon, and a few people were allowed to gaze upon it. You will notice that, according to the latest telegrams from the district, the statement that Kelly shot Cherry is contradicted.”
“Curnow’s life is not safe a moment here. The most bitter and horrible threats are used against him, and also against Constable Bracken, who escaped from the hotel; and Dowsett, the railway guard, who is acknowledged by officers and men to have behaved most pluckily in the fight and capture of Ned Kelly.”
“A magisterial inquiry was held this day at Powell’s Hotel, Benalla, on the body of Martin Cherry, who was shot at Glenrowan on Monday.”
“A magisterial enquiry was held before Mr Alex. Tone, J.P., at the Wangaratta Hospital, on the body of a boy named John Jones, who was accidentally shot by the police in an encounter with the Kelly gang at Glenrowan.”
“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.”
Death notice for Paddy McDonnell, publican of the Railway Tavern.
“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.”
