'''Photograph''' '''Euroa Robbery 10/12/1878''' Was I there at Faithful's Creek to help the boys
'''Mass arrest of the sympathizers''' On 2/1/1879 Commissioner [[Standish|Standish]] ordered the arrest of about 20 [[Sympathizers|sympathizers]] including myself and my brother [[Richard Strickland|Richard]]. He took that action under the Felons Apprehension Act. We were held in Beechworth goal.
I arrested near [[Hedi|Hedi]] by ..([[The Argus at KellyGang 7/1/1879 (2)|Argus7/1/79]]).
I was remanded by the court in Wangaratta. It was alledged that my real name was William Woods. ([[The Ovens and Murray Advertiser 9/1/79|OMA9/1/1879]])
We were held without ever being given a chance to defend our selves. We were remanded in custody for periods of 7 days. Only one of us sympathizers was represented by a lawyer. The magistrates repeated the remands each week for over 3 months before we were finally released, See also ([[The Argus at KellyGang 17/4/1879|Argus17/4/79]])
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'''
'''After the Siege''' '''What happened to William Strickland's family''' Was I in Pentridge ([[The Argus at KellyGang 6/11/1878 (3)|Argus6/11/78]]) Or was it [[Richard Strickland|Richard]]?
At the time of the mansfield murders was I suspected as being a member of the '''KellyGang'''. ([[The Alexandra and Yea Standard, Gobur, Thornton and Acheron Express at KellyGang 9/11/1878 (2)|Alexandra9/11/1878]])
