'''Euroa Robbery 10/12/1878'''

Photograph Was I there to help the boys at Faithful's Creek

'''Mass arrest of the sympathizers''' On 2/1/1879 Commissioner [[Standish|Standish]] ordered the arrest of about 20 [[Sympathizers|sympathizers]] including myself and my brother [[William Strickland|William]]. He took that action under the Felons Apprehension Act. The sympathizers were held in Beechworth goal.

I was arrested near [[Hedi|Hedi]] by ... ([[The Argus at KellyGang 7/1/1879 (2)|Argus7/1/79]])

I was remanded by the court in Wangaratta. ([[The Ovens and Murray Advertiser 9/1/79|OMA9/1/1879]])

The men were held without ever being given a chance to defend them selves. They were remanded in custody for periods of 7 days. Only one of the sympathizers was effectively represented by a lawyer. The magistrates repeated the remands each week for over 3 months before the sympathizers were finally released. See ([[The Ovens and Murray Advertiser 11/2/1879 (2)|OMA11/2/1879]])([[The Ovens and Murray Advertiser 13/3/1879|OMA13/3/79]]), See also ([[The Argus at KellyGang 17/4/1879|Argus17/4/79]])

At the start, the arrests had public support in Melbourne but that turned into general contempt for the police. The mass arrests resulted in fewer people being prepared to assist the police or to supply information about the '''KellyGang'''

'''What happened to Richard Strickland's family''' Was I in Pentridge ([[The Argus at KellyGang 6/11/1878 (3)|Argus6/11/78]]) Or was it [[William Strickland|William]]?
