Mrs MacDonnell Interviewed (29/06/1880)

“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.”

Destruction of the Kelly gang – further particulars (03/07/1880)

“The excitement caused here by the conflict between the police and the Kellys, and the destruction of the desperate gang of outlaws, is subsiding. A general feeling of relief is experienced by the respectable inhabitants of the district, and it is pretty certain that now the gang are no longer to be feared that some of their movements during the past twelve months will be made known. Already stories concerning their movements are freely circulated, and from these it is apparent that the police have during the past month or six weeks made it very unpleasant for the outlaws.”
