'''Stringybark Creek Murders 26/10/1878''' I informed Insp [[Brooke Smith|Brook Smith]] that there was information that the '''KellyGang''' were on the [[Murray Flats|Wodonga flats]], so he asked me to go to the railway station to get a truck ready to convey the horses by the next train the nearest way to the flats. We boxed the horses and went by the next train as far as [[Chiltern|Chiltern]]. There was a telegram there awaiting and it instructed Insp Brook Smith and his men to remain at [[Wangaratta|Wangaratta]], and that Sgt [[Wodonga (2)|Harkin]] and I were to proceed to the Wodonga flats and to assist [[Det Kennedy|Kennedy]] and his party there.([[Royal Commission report day 51 page 18|RC17447]])
'''Later'''
Mrs [[Daniel Delaney|Delaney]] told me about the '''KellyGang''' going under the railway bridge. ([[Royal Commission report day 51 page 17|RC17415]])
At about 12.15 pm in the morning of [[ev78-10--4Mansfield Murders|4/11/1878]], as [[Steele|Sgt Steele]] travelled through [[Wangaratta|Wangaratta]], on the police special train from Benalla to Beechworth I had a conversation with him at the railway station. I called him out of the van, where he was in company with about 16 other mounted men. I told him I had reliable information that the '''KellyGang''' had passed-that is, four young men riding four horses, two pack-horses in front with two heavy packs on each horse, and four others running bare-back in front of them; but the informant could not state whether the four horses running in front belonged to the party, as there had been horses running on the common there. He suggested that I talk to Insp [[Brooke Smith|Brooke Smith]] about the matter. ([[Royal Commission report day 51 page 17|RC17403]]) See also ([[Royal Commission report day 23 page 4|RC8856]])([[Royal Commission report day 39 page 6|RC14075]])([[Royal Commission report day 52 page 2|RC17488]])
I got to see Insp Brooke Smith at about 2am. He sent me off with Const [[Hayes|Hayes]] to see Mrs Delaney and her 2 sons [[John Delaney|John]] and [[Daniel Delaney|Daniel]] who made the citing of the '''KellyGang'''. We returned at 5.45am. Const [[Const Patrick Walsh|Walsh]] was the senior constable in Wangaratta. ([[Royal Commission report day 51 page 12|RC17309]])([[Royal Commission report day 51 page 17|RC17408]])
I was disgusted after my night's work. I was wet to the skin, and no steps taken after that. ([[Royal Commission report day 51 page 18|RC17443]])
Insp Brook Smith said that he had no recollection of my visit. ([[Royal Commission report day 51 page 13|RC17322]])
There were no steps taken on the 5th. ([[Royal Commission report day 51 page 18|RC17430]])
We eventually got underway at about 2pm [[ev78-10--4Mansfield Murders|6/11/1878]]. Insp [[Brooke Smith|Brooke Smith]] took out a search party of about 14 police. We divided at [[Peechelba at kellyGang|Peechelba]] and I went with [[Det Kennedy|Kennedy]] to [[Lake Rowan|Lake Rowan]]. ([[Royal Commission report day 51 page 18|RC17433]]) See also ([[Royal Commission report day 18 page 1|RC5298]])
We found Sgt [[Kennedy Sgt|Kennedy]]'s pack horse B87 ([[Royal Commission report day 33 page 8|RC12404]])([[Royal Commission report day 51 page 13|RC17324]])
