Arrival of the police from Wangaratta

We arrived at the break in the line at Glenrowan at about 5.40am

Capture of Ned Kelly

I saw Ned Kelly came down the hill, like towards the house, and there was one of the men from Wangaratta I knew, Const Healey, he seemed to come in contact with him. (RC13991)

At the capture of Ned Kelly I got the revolver from Sergeant Steele; he handed it to me. I ran up when Ned Kelly was knocked over, and Sergeant Steele was kneeling on Ned Kelly, and he handed me the revolver, I was in company with Dr. Nicholson. It was passed around and I lost it. I only saw one revolver on Ned Kelly. (RC13975) see also (RC10929)
