'''Edward Monk''' owned a sawmill in the Wombat Ranges, somewhere near [[Tolmie|Tolmie]] and about 11/13 miles from Mansfield . Pewtress and his party arrived at Monks at 9pm.
Mr Monk and 2 of his men agreed to lead the police to [[Stringy Bark Creek|Stringy Bark Creek]] and they left again in heavy rain at about 10pm ([[The True Story of the KellyGang of Bushrangers Chapter 2 page 2|CHC]])([[The Argus at KellyGang 30/10/1878 (4)|Argus30/10/79]])
After helping the police retrieve the bodies at Stringybark Creek, Monk preferred to keep a low profile for the safety of his family. Whether this decision came after the "threatening letter" or before we cannot say. He and his family ( he had small children) lived in a fairly isolated area and felt very vunerable.
