'''[[Jerilderie|Jerilderie]] Robbery 10/2/[[events79-2_4Jerilderie Robbery|1879]]''' Ned Kelly ordered a number of people to cut down the telegraph poles new the Jerelderie post office. They were sent to my store to get a new axe from my store manager '''Albert Brasch'''.
Later I saw the door open and smoke coming from a fire out the back of the Bank of New South Wales branch in Jerilderie. I entered the bank with Mr [[Samuel Gill|Gill]] the editor of the local news paper. We were greeted by the '''[[KellyGang|KellyGang.]]''' They ordered us over counter to join Mr [[Lyving|Living]] the accountant. We decided to run but I ran into the [[Royal Mail Hotel|Royal]] hotel were they had made a bit of a base in town. Mr Gill ran the other direction. Ned [[Ned Kelly|Kelly]] caught me by the collar of my coat and knocked me off balance inside the hotel wall. He tried to shoot me but stopped at the request of other people in the hotel. Ned Kelly called out to Steve [[Steve Hart|Hart]] to shoot any one who tried to escape. He called Hart 'Revenge'. See ([[Sydney Morning Herald (25)|SMH12/2/79]]) ([[The Ovens and Murray Advertiser 13/2/1879 (2)|OMA13/2/79]])
Ned Kelly threatened me with, 'If you attempt to move, you will be the first man to be shot'. I then joined the rest of the '''KellyGang''''s prisoners
