First
run in with the law
Some think that I had worked with the KellyGang to swap horses and cattle backwards and foward from New South Wales to Victoria
Stringybark
Creek Murders 26/10/1878
I
was not involved
AssCom
Niciolson said that on 2/11/1878 we
told the police about the movements of the
KellyGang
as they tried to cross the Murray River at the
Murray
Flats near the
Baumgarten's. Nicolson
came to see me. He told Royal Commission, ' I found the man was not then raving
or anything of that kind. He evidently had been drinking, but it appeared to
me to drown his fright, and when I saw him he was clean and cool and able to
give a coherent account, and from the account he gave to me I had no doubt he
had seen the outlaws.' (

Did
I help the boys at Faithful's creek?
Jerilderie
Robbery 10/2/1879
Was
I around the place. It would have been great fun
Sup
Sadleir noted 'The instructions under
which I noted in sending Sgt
Steele to
Beechworth and
Rats' Castle
were received from Mr. Nicolson, who was then on the only certain clue of the
Kellys. In fact it was absolutely certain that they had been at Margery's, and
it was so important that police should be placed so as to intercept their probable
route from Margery's back to their old haunts, that unless the information at
Wangaratta were of a much more positive character, I should not have felt justified
in stopping Segt Steele's party.' This was on about 2/11/1879 (

Glenrowan
Siege 28/6/1880
Was
I there?
