The Glenrowan Tragedy (03/07/1880)

“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.”
