In December- January 1879 Sup [[Sadleir|Sadleir]] sent an [[agents|agent]] into the Wombat Ranges.([[Royal Commission report day 11 page 4|RC2028]])
Henry [[Henry Perkins|Perkins]] lived at Wombat. ([[Royal Commission report day 45 page 14|RC15517]])
Const [[McIntyre|McIntyre]] first call at '''John McColl's''' place after he left Stringbark Creek, after the murders ([[The Complete Inner History of the KellyGang and their Pursuers (18)|JJK]])
He then got to '''Matthew Byrne''''s place and was driven into Mansfield by '''Ned Byrne''' ([[The Argus at KellyGang 29/10/1878|Argus29/10/79]])
'''John Byrne''' resident see ([[The Argus at KellyGang 21/11/1878|Argus21/11/78]]) see also below
'''John Esme''', farmer ([[The Argus at KellyGang 18/3/1879 (4)|Argus18/3/79]])
Percy William Bromfield, farmer ([[The Argus at KellyGang 21/11/1878|Argus21/11/78]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 18/3/1879 (4)|Argus18/3/79]])
'''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 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.
[[Walter Lynch|Walter Lynch]] was later imprisoned for two years for sending a threatening letter in the name of the Kelly's to Monk.
The Monks knew the Kelly's, Ned had apparently worked at their sawmill for a time and he nursed some of their children on his knee. Edward Monk and his wife were deeply shocked and surprised at receiving such threatening letters by 'the Kelly's'.
On 7/11/1878 one of Mr Monk's horses was stolen and a few days later he recieved a threatening letter([[The Argus at KellyGang 11/11/1878 (2)|Argus11/11/78]]) ([[The Alexandra and Yea Standard, Gobur, Thornton and Acheron Express at KellyGang 16/11/1878|Alexandra16/11/1878]])
Monk gave a threatening letter to ass Com Nicolson in Wangaratta; see text ([[The Argus at KellyGang 12/11/1878 (2)|Argus12/11/78]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 13/11/1878 (2)|Argus13/11/78]])
Monks recieved more threatening letters ([[The Argus at KellyGang 28/4/1879|Argus28/4/79]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 1/4/79|Argus1/4/79]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 2/4/1879|Argus2/4/79]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 29/5/1879|Argus29/5/79]])([[The Argus at KellyGang 1/7/1879|Argus1/7/79]])([[The Argus at KellyGang 2/7/1879|Argus2/7/79]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 14/4/1879|Argus14/4/79]])
