== Links to the KellyGang ==
'''Early Years''' '''Photograph''' I have been in business I helped the police out of friendship to Det [[Ward|Ward]] , whom I have known for nineteen years. ([[Royal Commission report 20/7/1881|RC13465]])
Mrs [[Mrs Margaret Byrne|Byrne]] and her children were vey short of food and on occasions she beg for food from me.
I delivered one parcel just before the Jerilderie robbery. I got paid by the KellyGang through Aaron [[Aaron Sherritt|Sherritt]] but I never got the money. ([[Cookson, 04_09_1911_4|BWC]])
I recorded all my accounts with [[agents|agents]] and the kellys in my ledgers ([[Cookson, 05_09_1911_2|BWC]])
Where are my ledgers now?
'''First Cave Party''' on a good many occasions took supplies for the police cave party as far as Mrs. Sherritt's house.From there they were taken on to the cave by the Sherritt family ([[Royal Commission report day 37 page 24|RC13461]])
'''Second Cave Party 12/1879-4/1880''' As I had been serving Mrs.[[Anne and John Sherritt Snr|Sherritt]] for years, Det [[Ward|Ward]] asked me to forward the things down to her, and we made arrangements with her and one of her daughters and one son for those things to be laid at a certain place, wherever they would appoint. Her son Aaron would then come and take them;to the police in the cave.This continued from late December when the cave party started until April when it ended. ([[Royal Commission report day 38 page 5|RC13855]]) see also ([[Royal Commission report day 18 page 12|RC5578]])
I got orders from Det [[Ward|Ward]] to keep it as secret as possible, and it was my interest to do so. ([[Royal Commission report day 37 page 24|RC13474]]) '''Police at Aaron Sherritt's''' Throughout [[events 1880-4/ 1880-6|June]] I used take the cart out to Aaron Sherritt's place each week with the supplies to feed the police. We used to keep it quite but I did have many other customers in that area who gave such good orders ([[Royal Commission report day 37 page 24|RC13473]]).see also ([[Royal Commission report day 37 page 20|RC13379]])
See my story ([[Cookson, 04_09_1911_1|BWC]])
'''Aaron Sherritt's Inquest''' I was foreman of the jury at Aaron [[Aaron Sherritt|Sherritt]]'s inquest with a number of other interesting people. ([[Ovens & Murray Advertiser (17)|OMA29/6/1880]]) Response to my statement about the police ([[Ovens and Murray Advertiser (12)|OMA6/7/80]])
== '''Royal Commission''' ==
I gave evidence to the Royal Commission on 20/7/1881 ([[Royal Commission report day 37 page 24|RC134557]])
How did the press report my evidence. ([[The Argus at KellyGang 22/7/1881|Argus22/7/81]])
Det [[Ward|Ward]] wrote to Const [[Const Armstrong|Armstrong]] 'Mr Allen will work for me. Mr H has promised to have Mr Allen called, and he will be able to corroborate Mr. [[Hare|Hare]]'s statement with reference to what Aaron said to him about you.' ([[Royal Commission report day 32 page 10|RC12222]])

== What happened to the Allen family ==
