'''Glenrowan Siege [[ev80-06-28Glenrowan|28/6/1880]]''' '''Special train leaves Melbourne to go to Beechworth - follow up on death of Aaron Sherritt'''

I caught the train at Spencer Street station in Melbourne

'''Train arrives at Benalla'''

..

'''Arrive at Glenrowan'''

I arrived at Glenrowan by train at about [[ev80-06-28Glenrowan|2.30 am]] on the morning of the siege with [[Hare|Hare]] on the special train from Melbourne. I was one of a number of journalists who came up to cover the siege. ([[The Australasian Sketcher|Sketcher]])([[The Argus (4)|Argus29/6/1880]]) ([[Royal Commission report day 26 page 1|RC10025]])

'''Begining of the siege'''

I watched the start of the siege from the railway platform ([[Royal Commission report day 9 page 5|RC1609]])

Mr. Hare came back to the platform, six or seven minutes after the flashes. He went back the second time, and it was not more than ten minutes after the flashes. He went back the second time, and it was not more than ten minutes altogether. He then came back, and blood was running down his fingers from the wound in his wrist, which was bleeding very freely, dripping as he came along; and we did the best we could for him, that is the four reporters left on the station. I was amongst them. I tied up his wrist with my silk handkerchief, and checked the haemorrhage, and then he went out again and disappeared. We saw him go out, he went again towards the [[Jones' Glenrowan Inn|Glenrowan hotel]].

([[Royal Commission report day 26 page 2|RC10033]]) ([[Royal Commission report day 26 page 1|RC10314]])

After Sup [[Hare|Hare]] left for Benalla we walked up and down the platform to keep ourselves warm, and now and then constable would come up and give us a little news-how they were getting on-what they were doing- whether they had seen anything. One constable that came up, I forget who it was, said, "There is a bad nest of them at the back, keep a look out; there is a bad lot in that [[McDonnell's Railway Taven|hotel]] over the road-keep a look out." ([[Royal Commission report day 26 page 2|RC10038]])

'''Arrival of Sup Sadleir and the police from Benalla and Wangaratta'''

I met the police from Wangaratta when they arrived. I checked the time when they arrived at the platform. Ten minutes to five. ([[Royal Commission report day 24 page 10|RC9402]])

'''Capture of Ned Kelly'''

I saw Ned Kelly's capture. ([[Royal Commission report day 26 page 2|RC10042]])

I drew [[Ned Kelly|Ned Kelly]] while he was lying in the van, and while he was in the station master's house; and I made drawings of the [[Kelly's Armour|armour]] on the station platform ([[Royal Commission report day 26 page 3|RC10046]])

'''Release of the civilians'''

..

'''Burning of Jones's Inn'''

..

I wrote a letter to Sup Hare commenting on his performance at Glenrowan. See text ([[Royal Commission report day 9 page 4|RC1602]]) see also ([[Royal Commission report day 16 page 17|RC4681]]) ([[Royal Commission report day 26 page 4|RC10078]])

See my report as to what happened. A very entertaining account. ([[The Argus (35)|Argus5/7/80]])

'''Photograph''' '''Royal Commission''' I gave evidence to the Royal Commission on 6/6/1881. ([[Royal Commission report day 26 page 1|RC10021]])

At the Royal Commission Sup Sadleir said that I lied when I reported that he was off the ground during the siege, and that the men and police were without his control. ([[Royal Commission report day 13 page 11|RC2910]])
