He certainly seems to have had the classic Kelly criminal genes. I suppose you can wonder whether or not Ned and Dan would have discouraged their younger brother from joining in the gang's exploits. Seems that the younger Kelly was the 'man of the house' at the Kelly selection earlier in the story. And I suppose at times Jim must have thanked his lucky stars (and the court), that he was in gaol when the gang hit its straps. Otherwise he may well have been killed at Glenrowan, or swung beside his brother in Pentridge.

Let's put it this way, he wasn't the sharpest tool in the Kelly shed.

The number of Posts I have deleted from “Anonymice” has slowly dwindled as they get the message I am no longer going to let their nonsense through, and I realise now I should never have indulged them.

Maybe it was one of those quiet news weeks! It is interesting that this newspaper article seems to have been overlooked by Kelly historians. It appears Kenneally's "True History" was the starting point for many historians that followed. I think your previous post relating to Your website has been invaluable in bringing to light the real true history.

He looked after Ellen 'til the end of her days and never married as he mused that he could never give a girl the Kelly name.. He helped bring up Ellen, Maggie and Kates children and died with honour.
