<blockquote>'''[[Jerilderie|Jerilderie]] Robbery 10/2/[[events79-2_4Jerilderie Robbery|1879]]'''

</blockquote>

Shortly before 2pm on Monday 10/2/1879 I saw the door open and smoke coming from a fire out the back of the Bank of New South Wales branch in Jerilderie. I entered the bank with Mr [[Rankin|Rankin]] a local shop keeper. We were greeted by the '''[[KellyGang|KellyGang.]]''' They ordered us over counter to join Mr [[Lyving|Living]] the accountant. Rankin and I decided to run. After they caught Mr Rankin Ned Kelly with Const [[Const Richards|Richards]] and Mr Living came looking for me.

See ([[The Argus at KellyGang 12/2/1879 (5)|Argus12/2/79]]) ([[Sydney Morning Herald (25)|SMH12/2/1879]])([[The Alexandra and Yea Standard, Gobur, Thornton and Acheron Express at KellyGang 15/2/1879 (2)|Alexandra15/2/1879]]) ([[The Ovens and Murray Advertiser 13/2/1879 (2)|OMA13/2/1879]]) [[[The Complete Inner History of the KellyGang and their Pursuers (40)|JJK]])

They eventually came to my home and saw my '''wife.''' She told Ned Kelly that I had run awayfor Carrah Farm from where information could be sent on to Deniliquin police. Ned [[Ned Kelly|Kelly]] said 'I have a statement here which contains a little part of my life, and I want it published by Mr Gill.' Mrs Gill declined to accept the document.

The '''KellyGang''' then left but Living offered to have the [[Jerilderie Letter|document]] published. It is now known as the Jerilderie Letter. I doubt if the authorities would have let me publish it. I hid out until they had gone. My house is still a private residence.

A few days later I wrote the scoop of my life. I wrote a long article for my paper and large sections of it formed the basis for the reports in the Sydney and Melbourne papers. The text is published in Keith [[Keith McMenomy|McMenomy]]'s book on the '''KellyGang'''.

In July 1879 I got a letter from [[Margaret Skillion|Maggie Skillion]] about a letter from [[Ned Kelly|Ned Kelly]]. ([[The Argus at KellyGang 5/7/1879|Argus5/7/1879]])
