'''SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE METHODS''' [[Harry Power|Power]]'s methods were extremely simple. He always worked alone-when Ned Kelly was with him his only part in the robberies was to look after the horses. Waiting till a coach came along Power would corner the driver with a double-barrelled gun and offer him the sudden alternative of surrender or having the top of his head blown off. Always the driver put his hands up and kept them there, whilst Power turned out the passengers and made them empty their pockets on to the ground. This done, he would compel them to sit down somewhere in sight for perhaps a couple of hours or more, while he took toll of everybody else who came along the road. It was no unusual thing for this bold bandit to commit a score of daring robberies in a day.
