Ass Com Nicolson led a search party after the KellyGang past our place soon after the deaths of the police at Stringy Bark Creek (RC676)
Information was given to Mr Laing by one of his employees that the KellyGang had been seen by my boys near the One Mile Bridge on 3/11/1878. We lived near the Wangaratta railway station. The story given by the platelayer was that that morning, at four o'clock, the KellyGang, instead of going through the railway gate, had swam the One-mile Creek, and crossed by the back of the hospital, behind our house; and that we recognized the KellyGang and that they were armed. (RC13960)
My son John told the police that I called him up at 4 am on 3/11/1878 to see if his horse was being taken away. He looked out and saw four mounted men with hobbles, one saddler driving several horses at a rapid pace through One-mile Creek, towards Peechelba road. They may have gone to Warby ranges"(RC17310) see also(RC17307)
Was my young John at the siege, perhaps wuth his elder brother Daniel. (Herald29/6/80)
