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 Story of the KellyGang 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.
