Links to the KellyGang

'Jerilderie Robbery 11/2/1879 The ' KellyGang arrived at the Bank of New South Wales branch in Jerilderie on the afternoon of Monday 10/2/1879.

I was the sub accountant and was out in the street and entered the bank after hearing voices and Joe Byrne ordered me to jump over the counter. Joe Byrne then ordered Mr Living and I to go with him to the Royal Hotel where we met Ned Kelly.

Later Ned Kelly and Joe Byrne returned to the bank with me. They were looking for the bank manager Mr Tarleton. I eventually found him in his dressing room having a bath.

Soon after the KellyGang left town Mr Tarleton and Mr Living got on on our horses and left town to give the alarm. The KellyGang was not impressed and they took it out on Wunnamurra Station which was managed by my brother Mr A Mackie.
