'''Earlier Service''' '''[[Euroa|Euroa]] Robbery 11/12/[[ev78-12--2Euroa Robbery|1878]]''' Hear my story ([[The Argus at KellyGang 12/12/1878 (3)|Argus12/12/78]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 12/12/1878 (5)|Argus12/12/78]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 12/12/1878 (10)|Argus12/12/78]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 13/12/1878 (4)|Argus13/12/78]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 16/12/1878 (7)|Argus16/12/78]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 2712/1878 (2)|Argus27/12/78]])
About 4 pm 2 men turned up at the bank and in a short time they had forced there way inside and into my office. Ned [[Ned Kelly|Kelly]] ordered me to go and tell the females in the house what visitors they had. In addition to the bank clerks Messers [[Euroa|Booth]] and [[Euroa|Bradley]], there were also in the house my wife, our 5 children, '''Mrs Scott's mother''', and 2 female servants. I, in going to inform the women of what had taken place, had to cross the main passage which runs through the house, and I then saw a third man, who proved to be Dan [[Dan Kelly|Kelly]]. He was keeping watch at the back door. He brought in the 2 servants from the out buildings. As soon as they were all assembled in the passage, Ned Kelly demanded the money in the bank. As I kept one key to the strong room, and Mr Bradley the other, I replied that it was not altogether in my charge. Ned Kelly at once turned to Mr Bradley, and putting his revolver to his head, said he would hold him responsible for the money, and he had better get it at once. After some little delay and hesitation, Mr Bradley handed him over the keys' and Kelly then proceeded to search the strong chest. Ned Kelly took all the money and notes out of it, and placed them on the counter. There was about £1,900 in notes and nearly £300 in gold. Ned Kelly went outside, and brought in a small gunnybag, into which he stuffed the notes and gold.
Fanny (Maggie) Shaw, (one of the maids) knew [[Steve Hart|Steve Hart]] from school days. [[[The Complete Inner History of the KellyGang and their Pursuers (24)|JJK]])
Turning to me, Ned Kelly said, 'I see you have a buggy in the yard. You had better put the horse in, as I will have to take the whole of you a little way into the bush, and it will be more comfortable for the women than the carts we have.' My groom was away, and Ned Kelly then went outside and harnessed the horse and buggy myself, having previously told the females to get themselves and the children ready for a journey. Before leaving the place,however Ned Kelly put the bank books in the strong room and locked the place up and fastened the side door. Our whole party then went into the back yard where the hawker's wagon was standing. Messers Bradley and Booth and 3 of the children were then placed in the wagon and Dan Kelly took charge of them. Mrs Scott and her mother , with the 2 other children and one of the women servants were placed in my trap. My wife was ordered to drive The other cart that had been taken from Mr [[Casement, Henry Dudley, Tennant & McDougall|Casement]], was driven by Ned Kelly. I and one of the servants travelled with Ned Kelly. Steve Hart rode on horseback.

When we got to [[Faithfull's Creek (2)|Faithfull]]'s Creek Station the ladies were allowed to go into the house.
A few hours later we were released by Mr [[Macauley|McCauley]] the manager.
We returned to Euroa, between 9 and 10pm. ([[Royal Commission report day 2 page 14|RC523]])
Later I put in a report against Ben [[Ben Gould|Gould]] because I am convinced that he spied for the '''[[KellyGang|KellyGang]]'''
My wife Susy recorded her account of what went on and she added much more personal information. For instance one of our maids, '''Fanny Shaw''' who came from Wangaratta, knew Steve Hart from that time. '''Mrs Calvert''', our childrens nurse is also mentioned
Supt [[Hare|Hare]] came to see me ([[The Argus at KellyGang 1/2/1879|Argus1/2/79]])
