'''First dealings with the KellyGang''' In [[1874-1877 Events|1876]] I was working in the sawmill with [[Ned Kelly|Ned Kelly]]. In September of that year with the end of Beechworth branch line, the mills income almost ceased.
I was I suppose one of [[Ned Kelly|Ned Kelly]]'s closest friends. We shared some good times
'''Euroa Robbery 10/12/1878''' Was I at Faithful's Creek '''Mass arrest of the sympathizers''' On 2/1/1879 Commissioner [[Standish|Standish]] ordered the arrest of about 20 [[Sympathizers|sympathizers]] including me. He took that action under section 5 of the [[Felons Apprehension Act|Outlawry Act]]. Most of the sympathizers were held in [[Beechworth Gaol|Beechworth goal]].
I was arrested near [[Benalla|Benalla]] by ... ([[The Argus at KellyGang 4/1/1879 (2)|Argus4/1/79]])([[The Argus at KellyGang 6/1/1879|Argus6/1/79]])([[Daniel Clancey|OMA7/1/79]])
We were held without ever being given a chance to defend ourselves. We were also remanded in custody for periods of 7 days at a time. Only one of us sympathizers was effectively represented by a lawyer. The magistrates repeated the remands each week for over 3 months before we were finally released See ([[The Ovens and Murray Advertiser 11/2/1879 (2)|OMA11/2/1879]])
At the start, the arrests had public support in Melbourne but that turned into general contempt for the police. The mass arrests resulted in fewer people being prepared to assist the police or to supply information about the '''KellyGang.''' Would you help the forces of 'law and order' in our circumstances.
I was eventually released See ([[The Argus at KellyGang 26/2/1879|Argus26/2/79]]) ([[The Ovens and Murray Advertiser 27/2/1879|OMA27/2/79]])
'''Glenrowan Siege 28/6/1880''' Later
Const Robert [[Const Robert Graham|Graham]] reported on [[ev81-00---Royal Commission|26th April 1881]] relative to sympathizers of late '''KellyGang'''. -I beg to report for the information of the superintendent that a number of them were here at [[Greta|Greta]] yesterday, drinking, viz.: -Jack [[Jack Quinn Jnr|Quinn]], Tom [[Tom Lloyd Jnr|Lloyd]], jun, Paddy [[McAuliffe|McAuliffe]], Tom McAuliffe, John McMonigal, and Jack [[Nolan|Nolan]]; and from their manner I am led to believe that another outbreak among them is imminent. Jack Quinn is very anxious to find out who it was that got the sympathizers arrested in 1879. They all appear to have a great dislike to Pat [[Patrick Quinn|Quinn]], and speak of him as the black tracker."([[Royal Commission report day 25 page 15|RC9870]]) '''Early years''' '''Later years''' I died in 1931 and am buried in the Greta Cemetery '''What happened to Jack McMonigle's family''' I married Mary Graham. We had 8 children; Mary b1869, William b1871, James and Sarah b1875, Eliza b1877, Robert b1883, twin daughters died soon after birth
