'''THE RESTORATION OF KENNEDY'S WATCH''' "One thing more that I'd like to clear up, said the man from Glenrowan. "Is the mystery of the restoration of Sgrgeant [[Kennedy Sgt|Kennedy]]'s watch. It was a gold watch and a very valuable one. After the tragedy in the Wombat ranges Ned Kelly wore this watch for a long while. Mrs Kennedy was very anxious to gain possession of it, and she enlished the assistance of a man named Wallace, who had been in the police force, and who at that time was keeping the [[Hotels Pubs and Shanties|Broken River Hotel]]. Acting on her suggestion, [[Const Wallace|Wallace]] let it be known amongst the friends of the outlaws that he would give £10 to anybody who returned the watch to him. One day a little girl about 14 or 15 years of age - I know now that she was a cousin of Ned Kelly - went into Wallace's hotel, and told him that she had come for the £10. Wallace tried hard to find out from the girl who she was or what her antecedents were, but she would say nothing but that she had come with the watch, and that she was not to be interfered with. Wallace had sense enough to know that strict compliance with the letter of the compact was his safest course, so he handed over the £10 to the child and received the watch in return. Not long afterwards it was in Mrs Kennedy's possession."
