'''[[Jerilderie|Jerilderie]] Robbery 10/2/[[events79-2_4Jerilderie Robbery|1879]]''' The '''KellyGang''' arrived at the Bank of New South Wales branch in Jerilderie on the afternoon of Monday 11/2/1879. When they arrived they surprised me. I thought that Mr [[Tarleton|Tarleton]] the bank manager had returned to the bank. The first of the '''KellyGang''' to enter the bank was Joe [[Joe Byrne|Byrne]]. He told me that they where the '''KellyGang''' and to bail up. Mr [[MacKie|Mackie]], the sub accountant was out in the street entered the bank after hearing voices and Joe Byrne ordered him to jump over the counter. Joe Byrne then ordered us to go with him to the [[Royal Mail Hotel|Royal]] Hotel where we met Ned [[Ned Kelly|Kelly]].([[Sydney Morning Herald (25)|SMH12/2/1879]]) ([[The Complete Inner History of the KellyGang and their Pursuers (39)|JJK]])
Later Ned Kelly and Joe Byrne returned to the bank with me. They were looking for Mr Tarleton. I eventually found him in his dressing room having a bath. I told him that we had been stuck up by the '''KellyGang''' and that the police were also stuck up.
My colleague '''Mr Mackin''' was also in the bank ([[The True of Bushrangers Chapter 13 page 5|CHC]])
Ned Kelly then took me back to the bank and demanded that I hand over the money. I gave him the teller's cash amounting to 691 pounds. At this time Mr [[William Elliott|Elliott]], the local school master came into the ban. Ned Kelly was certain that we had a lot more money in the bank in the safe. I handed over my key and while Joe Byrne wanted to smash open the safe Ned Kelly had Mr [[Tarleton|Tarleton]] brought over from the Royal Hotel with his second key. The '''KellyGang''' took 1450 pounds from the safe.
Ned Kelly then took down a large tin box that was full of papers and threatened to burn them. Mr Tarleton became very up set. Ned Kelly then stuffed the papers in his pocket and said that he intended burning all the papers in the office. The '''KellyGang''' then went back to the Royal hotel where Dan Kelly was looking after the prisoners. Later Ned Kelly went back to the bank and burnt most of our papers. There were many loan and mortgage documents amongst the material burnt. This was part of their efforts to protect small farmers from the bank.
At about this time Messers [[Rankin|Rankin]] and [[Samuel Gill|Gill]] turned up at the bank attracted by the fire and open door. They both ran off and were later tracked down by the '''KellyGang'''. I went off with the '''KellyGang''' to Mr Gill's home. We met his wife. Ned Kelly wanted to hand over a document to be published. 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. I offered to have the [[Jerilderie Letter|document]] published but handed it over to the authorities instead. They did not think much of it.
Soon after the '''KellyGang''' left town Tarleton and I got on on our horses and left town to give the alarm. The '''KellyGang''' was not impressed and they took it out on [[Wunnamurra at kellyGang|Wunnamurra]] Station which was managed by Mr [[MacKie|Mackie]]'s brother.
See my statement ([[The Argus at KellyGang 12/2/1879 (6)|Argus12/2/79]]) and ([[The Ovens and Murray Advertiser 13/2/1879 (2)|OMA13/2/1879]]) See also ([[The Argus at KellyGang 12/2/1879 (3)|Argus12/2/79]]) ([[The Ovens and Murray Advertiser 13/2/1879|OMA13/2/1879]]) ([[The Last of the Bushrangers Chapter 7 page 3|FH]]) ([[The Complete Inner History of the KellyGang and their Pursuers (40)|JJK]])
I stopped at the '''Lauriston Hotel''' to give his horse a breather. I left the Jerilderie Letter with Mr '''Hanlon''' for him to make a copy. That copy is now the property of the National Library, Canberra.
I reached [[Deniliquin|Deniliquin]] about 9pm and gave them the news of the attack by the KellyGang.([[Cookson, 07_09_1911_1|BWC]]).
Later that night I left in a Cobb & Cos coach with Trooper '''O'Connell''' (afterwards a Silverton magnate) and Mr Dunne from the Telegraph office for Jerilderie. Mr '''Forrester''', the manager of the Bank of New South Wales, had placed in the boot of the coach a box of money to replace that stolen by the KellyGang. ([[Cookson, 07_09_1911_1|BWC]])
