'''Euroa Robbery [[ev78-12--2Euroa Robbery|10/12/1878]]''' '''Photograph''' '''Coming to Euroa from Violet Town'''
On that day I proceeded by the luggage train from [[Violet Town|Violet Town]] to Euroa, to hold a licensing meeting, which started, at about 5 pm. At 4.40pm, while the train was still going slowly from Violet Town a man, Watt a [[Telegraph|telegraph]], from Benalla, came along the foot-plate and spoke to me. He said "Look here, the lines are down, and the queer feature of it is that the Government telegraph lines cross our railway telegraph line."

I told the Royal Commission what happened in detail.
