The Kelly Gang (24/02/1879)

“On Saturday evening, by the last train to Melbourne, Mr Leving, of the Bank of New South Wales, paused through Sandhurst on a visit to his relatives at Castlemaine (writes the Bendigo Independent). A member of our staff interviewed the gentleman, and in the course of conversation, was shown about 30 telegrams from different papers asking for Mr Leving to forward for publication the Kelly autobiography in his possession, all of which requests had, of course, to be refused.”

“For some time past very little news, if any, has come to hand in reference to the Kelly gang, and many persons, who are not fully conversant with Greta and its inhabitants, are under the impression that the Kellys have made their escape from the colony.”
