10/8/1881 Hon Graves MP continued his evidence -
some brief highlights
Why did Graves stop being a Commissioner and become a witness?
Graves was manager of Tatong.
"The police almost had at that time the whole families of the Lloyds, Kellys, and Quins completely under observation. And without a thorough knowledge of those people and their personal appearance, and a thorough knowledge of the country, I do not care how efficient a constable may be, he is utterly useless in dealing with them."
Speaking of the people around Kilfera Graves said, "At any time that you went about those places, any of their houses, you always saw strange faces there. If I asked my stockman who knew all these men, who they were, he would say, "He has just got out,""
Graves had a run in with Dan Kelly. What happened?
"if my information was correct, was exactly the (police went the) opposite way to what they ought to have gone."
What happened at the Euroa robbery?
Did James Wallace write the Connor letter?
Was Ned Kelly seen in Melbourne?
Did you ever hear it said that these men, Kennedy and Scanlan, had information as to where the Kellys were?
"Gold was sold in Mansfield. People might not have known exactly whether it was the KellyGang , but they knew people evading the law were there ... and those things could not occur without people knowing."
Who was Henry Perkins and did Sgt Kennedy have advance warning about the KellyGang's gold mining activity from him?
