<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">On the 138<sup>th</sup>anniversary of Ned Kellys execution, it’s an appropriate time to once again discuss the mythology that is promoted about his trial. It ended on October 29th with Ned Kellys conviction for the murder of Constable Thomas Lonigan, and the sentence of Death was carried out twelve days later, on November 11<sup>th</sup>1880.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Just last week on his Facebook site , author of picture book ‘An Introduction to Ned Kelly’ Jack Peterson wrote <i>“Regardless of the truth, Ned Kelly's fate was sealed from the day he was captured”, </i>an expression of the commonly promoted sympathiser view that Kellys trial was a sham<i>. </i>The Kelly legend is that if Ned Kellys trial had been fair he wouldn’t have been found guilty and he wouldn’t have been hanged. Jack Peterson again : “<i>Any hopes Ned Kelly had for a fair and unbiased trial and judge were dashed when Redmond Barry was selected to preside over his trial for the murder of Constable Lonigan.”</i>Here Peterson ignorantly continues the Kelly supporters’ vilification and abuse of the celebrated Victorian Sir Redmond Barry whom Kelly supporters hold responsible for the outcome of the trial.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Sympathisers claim legal expert opinion supports their view, and to try to further prove their point they have staged mock retrials at which Kelly was acquitted. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">But it should surprise no-one to discover, on investigation of the sympathisers claims about the trial and about what the experts say, that they are misrepresentations and distortions of the truth, fake news.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Kellys trial has been the subject of academic review on at least four separate occasions by modern legal experts. The first was by Professor Louis Waller at the 1967 Kelly Symposium. His presentation can be found in the publication that followed the Symposium ‘Ned Kelly Man and Myth’ Edited by Colin Cave in 1968, and my discussion of it can be read again <a href="https://kellylegend.blogspot.com/2017/04/50th-anniversary-lecture-regina-v.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. As an aside, Waller debunked the idea, still pushed in sympathiser circles, that Ned Kellys trial was rushed. It took two days, which is rushed by modern standards but Waller informed his audience that in Kellys time it wasn’t unheard of for a murder trial to last less than half an hour! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">In 1987 a second analysis of the trial was undertaken by a former Victoria Chief Justice, John H Phillips who published ‘The Trial of Ned Kelly’. My review of this book is <a href="https://kellylegend.blogspot.com/2016/06/the-trial-of-ned-kelly.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">In 2005, ‘Ned Kellys Last Days’ by Alex Castles was a broader analysis of what happened to Ned Kelly after he was captured. It concentrates on the trial but includes analysis of other aspects of the legal situation that Ned Kelly was in. I reviewed this book <a href="https://kellylegend.blogspot.com/2016/05/ned-kellys-last-days.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Lastly, in 2014 Julian Burnside QC published an <a href="http://www.julianburnside.com.au/law/r-v-edward-ned-kelly/" target="_blank">essay</a> about Ned Kellys trial, and expressed the view that the reason Ned Kelly didn’t get a fair trial was because he was inadequately defended. As a result, according to Burnside, Bindon didn’t properly challenge McIntyre, the Crowns principal witness, and he didn’t mount the defence of self-defence, which Burnside says <i>“might have been available (although it was not without its difficulties) if it could be shown that the police who went to arrest Kelly were in truth intent on killing him.”<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">All four of these actual genuine legal experts who reviewed the trial believed they could identify decisions and actions during and surrounding the trial where proper process was not strictly adhered to. Accordingly, they all concluded, as Phiilps wrote in a sentence that is widely quoted by Kelly sympathisers including Ian Jones that <i>“Edward Kelly was not afforded a trial according to law”</i>On the basis of comments such as that one, the Kelly myth-makers would have you believe that these experts all claimed that Ned Kellys trial was a fraud and that, as Jack Peterson claimed last week, Ned Kellys fate was sealed from the moment he was captured. They then go on to claim that if Ned Kelly was re-tried in a fair Court in 2018, with a good defence team, an unbiased judge, and a jury of ‘twelve good men and true’ he would have been acquitted.<br /><br />In fact, that is certainly NOT what the legal experts concluded. Firstly, their criticisms were not by any means wholesale condemnations of the entire trial, but in the main somewhat technical criticisms relating to process. Secondly, and most importantly what they all said was that if all the deficiencies and mistakes they found were eliminated in a re-trial, the outcome may well have been the same. The sentence quoted by Kelly followers in which J H Phillips announced that Kelly was ‘<i>not accorded a trial according to law’</i>is followed directly by this one , a sentence they never quote <i>“Whether the result would have been any different had the Jury had been correctly directed is, of course, entirely another matter”.</i>Julian Burnside wrote “<i>On one view, a fair trial would still have resulted in a conviction</i>.” Elsewhere, Phillips later wrote <i>“It is possible that were the trial to be reviewed by a modern Court of Appeal, it would, because of the strength of the prosecution case, apply the Proviso in S.568(i) of the Crimes Act on the basis that it considered that no substantial miscarriage of justice had occurred.”<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The argument about self-defence mentioned by Burnside was first developed by professor Waller. Waller believed such a case had merit and noted as did Burnside that it was never advanced by Kellys defence team. However, Waller concluded <i>“ It cannot be stated with dogmatic certainty that had the defence which has been outlined above been fairly put to the jury….that Kelly would have been acquitted altogether or only convicted of manslaughter”<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">So lets set the record straight right now: modern expert legal opinion is that if Ned Kellys trial had been carried out according to the book, and even if he had been ably defended with an argument about killing in self-defence, there’s every chance that argument would have failed and the outcome would have been the same as it was in 1880 : Guilty of Lonigan’s murder. The sentence of course would be different because capital punishment has been abolished. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Despite that, the possibility was left open by these legal experts that an argument based on killing in self-defence could possibly have been successful. Certainly, it was the claim made by Ned Kelly himself in the Jerilderie Letter, that he shot and killed Lonigan because Lonigan didn’t ‘Bail up’ as ordered, but instead drew his revolver and was about to shoot Kelly from behind ‘a battery’ of logs. However, if an argument for self-defence was put forward in a modern re-trial, it would now be very easy to demolish because of what we have recently come to understand about the detail of Lonigans death, an understanding that wasn’t available even to Burnside as recently as 2014. The problem with Lonigans death was that nobody could provide a satisfactory explanation for the autopsy findings of multiple bullet wounds, including one that traversed his left thigh from outside to inside. A bullet extracted from that thigh was always reported as being a revolver bullet, and yet it was always accepted that Ned Kelly shot Lonigan with a rifle. The mystery as to the origin of this ‘revolver bullet’ and the other injuries to Lonigan created confusion about the detail of his death, and that confusion enabled Ned Kellys version of what happened to remain viable. Everyone, including Burnside, Waller , Phillips and Castles had a view of what happened to Lonigan but not one of their explanations made sense of all the autopsy findings and the known facts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The Lawless documentary makers last year almost got it right, showing that Kelly fired some form of shot, or multiple projectiles from his rifle, all of which hit Lonigan at once. However, the Documentary makers struggled as had everyone before them to explain the revolver bullet taken from Lonigan’s thigh. They rejected Burnside’s theory it had come from Lonigan’s own revolver and decided that someone else, unknown, had fired it into his corpse later on. They must have forgotten that Dr Reynolds said that at autopsy he couldn’t find any wounds that had been inflicted after circulation had ceased. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">This problem was solved on this Blog only a year or two ago. There is a subtle but critical discrepancy between the two records of what was said at trial about that ‘revolver bullet’. In the news reporting that everyone has had easy access to, it was described as a ‘bullet’ and that was what everyone took it to be, but in the Trial Judges notes, he wrote that the 'bullet' removed was ‘as of’ a revolver, meaning not necessarily a revolver bullet but like one, or in other words, a small projectile ‘as of a revolver’. In fact, it was simply another component of the load of shot that Kelly fired at Lonigan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The importance of this finding in relation to Kellys trial is that it proves that Ned Kellys claim that Lonigan was shot when behind ‘a battery of logs’ and taking aim at Kelly, is an outright lie. A forensic expert witness in a modern court with a few diagrams of Lonigans body and indicators showing where the various fragments of Kellys load of shot hit him, would instantly demolish Kellys claim that Lonigan was behind logs – the only place Lonigan could have been when he was brought down was out in the open. The only way that pattern of injuries could have been inflicted was if Lonigan was turned left side on to Kelly, head turned back but not facing him, not aiming a gun at him, not about to shoot at him, most likely trying to get away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">At the very least the forensic evidence would show Kellys claim about what happened was a lie. The defence of self-defence would collapse, meaning that if Ned Kelly was re-tried in a fair Court in 2018, with a good defence team, an unbiased judge, and a jury of ‘twelve good men and true’ he would most certainly have been found guilty, and except for the fact that Capital punishment is now abolished, he most certainly would have hanged. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Did Ian Jones’ admiration for Kelly lead him to wrongly accept a statement that Kelly’s last stand lasted over twice as long as it actually had? According to Jones, “The Last Stand had lasted for half an hour”, from Constable Arthur’s challenge to Kelly as he advanced in armour from the bush towards the Glenrowan Inn, and the first exchange of fire, to Kelly’s capture (<i>Short Life</i>, 2003: 236, cf. 231-6). Peter FitzSimons followed Jones, as have many others, in accepting a half hour timeframe, while noting that “the timetable … varies wildly in most contemporary accounts, with only broad agreement that from first shot to last it took around thirty minutes” (<i>Ned Kelly,</i>2015: 777 n.2). This is a red flag that the timeline needs review, especially given <i>Daily Telegraph </i>reporter George Allen’s contemporary estimate that “the whole affair” lasted “about a quarter of an hour, I suppose, or 20 minutes” (<i>RC,</i>Q.10774). Clearly the gunfight itself did not last half an hour; but how long was it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The <i>Age </i>text of 29 June 1880 is partially damaged in Trove, but is reprinted in Hare’s “Last of the Bushrangers”, ch. XII. It says of 28 June, “The morning broke beautiful and clear. The police were disposed all round the hotel, when they were beset by a danger from the rear. … It was nearly eight o’clock when [Kelly’s] tall figure was seen close behind the line of police. … For half an hour this strange contest was carried on”. In a different place it gushed, “</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">About seven o'clock Ned Kelly was seen in the timber, where he fought valiantly for about half an hour” (</span><i><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Age</span></i><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">, 29 June 1880, </span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">2). </span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">This is the source of the half hour gunfight generalisation beloved of Kelly enthusiasts. But the <i>Age’s </i>first (8am) starting time is an hour out. All sources agree that Kelly rose from the bush at dawn and began his advance toward the Glenrowan Inn and the scattered police line (Q.10043 Carrington; Q.10345 McWhirter). On that day, civil twilight (dawn) at Glenrowan was 6:59am (</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Geoscience Australia), and </span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Kelly’s appearance and advance began “about 7am or after” (Q.8229 S/C Kelly).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Before the gunfight, one must allow for Kelly walking some 50 yards in armour, from 150 yards out (S/C Kelly, <i>Argus</i>, 29 June 1880, 6; Dowsett, <i>Argus</i>, 1 July 1880, 6) before being challenged about 100 yards out by Arthur, himself some 80 yards from the Inn<i></i>(<i>Argus</i>, 2 July 1880, 7). [Both Jones p. 231 and FitzSimons p. 548 wrongly placed Arthur 100 yards from the Inn.] Upon that challenge Kelly raised his revolver. Arthur then fired, and Kelly returned fire (Q.11161); although he told the <i>Argus </i>at the time that Kelly fired first. Either way, the gunfight had commenced.

Regardless that Dwyer’s watch was perhaps half an hour out (Q.9490), he noted what are here two key timing points: the time he was at the Inn stockyard just before he went up to the station, from which place he saw Kelly in the bush and heard him call out the above challenge (Q.9448-50), and then the time Kelly was captured (Q.9490), about 8 minutes later. Kelly’s last stand was not an epic half-hour gun battle; it was over in less than 10 minutes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Kelly was captured before or around 7:15am, in the presence of reporters who had rushed up and witnessed his capture: “</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The outlaw howled like a wild beast brought to bay, and swore at the police” (<i>Argus</i>, 30 June 1880, 2). </span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">A few minutes passed with exchanges of words, Dwyer giving Kelly a kick, and Bracken defending Kelly from other injudicious treatment including possible summary shooting by Steele as his armour was removed (Q.10345 McWhirter). Kelly was then supported (“carried”) and walked some 100 yards to the railway station, including being lifted over a fence, while under fire from the Inn, and placed in the guard’s van (Q.8269-70 S/C Kelly; Q.10355 McWhirter). It was not until shortly after Kelly was lodged at the station that the sun rose (Q.9232 Steele; cf. Q.9234). On 28 June 1880, sunrise at Glenrowan was at 7:27am, so Kelly was in there at latest by 7:25am.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The <i>Age’s </i>“half an hour … contest” is a gross exaggeration of the gunfight timeframe, likely the result of excitement and nerves on the day. If it is to be taken as a marker of anything, it would encompass the entire time from Kelly’s first appearance from the scrub at 7am, through to his lodgement in the guard’s van at the station around 7:25am; but this is much more than the event known as the last stand. That, as the quote from FitzSimons above makes clear, is universally understood to mean the timeframe from first shot to the last at his capture. At most it might include some of his first walk in.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px; text-align: justify;">Allen’s estimate of a little more than 15 minutes for “the whole affair” was correct, within which the gunfight occupied less than 10 minutes. Only a few of the 34 police then present at Glenrowan, and railway guard Dowsett, were involved in the gunfight with and capture of Kelly. (The civilian Rawlins also assisted in securing Kelly, but was not involved in the gunfight, Q.11740-7.) The rest of the police stayed at their posts surrounding the Inn to prevent the other outlaws’ escape.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Exactly one hundred and forty years ago today three policemen were murdered at work by the Kelly Gang in a violent outrage of monstrous brutality. Of Sergeant Michael Kennedys death alone, the Report of the Royal Commission into the outbreak declared <i>“It was cruel, wanton and inhuman, and should of itself, apart from other crimes, brand the name of his murderer, the leader of the gang, with infamy”</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Kennedys death was the third killing that day, and Ned Kelly was later hanged for the first of them, the murder of Constable Thomas Lonigan. Most people know that Lonigan was the policeman who attempted to subdue Ned Kelly when he was violently resisting arrest one year earlier, by applying the ‘squirrel grip’ to his testicles. But how many know that in 1878, when he was murdered by Ned Kelly, he was a married man with four children, the eldest of whom was a ten year old daughter called Emily? How many knew he was raised a Catholic in Ireland but became a Protestant so he could marry the love of his life, Charlotte Siggins? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">As with every other event in the Kelly story, the facts about Stringybark Creek have been buried under a mountain of lies and obfuscation made up originally by Ned Kelly, and believed and elaborated on by his gullible supporters ever since, lies and deception and cover-up, without which it would be impossible for any rational human being to believe that Kelly was a hero and an admirable human being. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Take the murder of Lonigan. Ned Kelly said in the Jerilderie letter that after he called on Lonigan and McIntyre to bail up, <i>“Lonigan ran some six or seven yards to a battery of logs...and put his head up to take aim when I shot him that instant or he would have shot me”<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">This statement of Ned Kellys is an outright lie. It’s a fabrication. It’s false, not true, a porky, its bullshit – whatever you want to call it, the facts are indisputable - Ned Kellys description is wrong and he knew it. His version was a self-serving lie. What we know, from analysis of the wounds, and the fact that what Kelly fired at Lonigan wasn’t a single bullet but a charge of projectiles - swan drops or perhaps a quartered bullet – is that Lonigan was killed within a few seconds of the order to bail up, that he was out in the open, that he didn’t have time to get his gun out let alone run to a battery of logs and hide behind it, and he was brought down by a cluster of projectiles that hit him all at once, in the left arm, the left leg, the head and the right eye. Kelly fans claim their hero Ned Kelly was an awesome crack shot but never admit that what he killed Lonigan with was a spray of bullets all fired at once. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The Lawless documentary last year demonstrated this horror in graphic detail, which is why the pro-Kelly Facebook warriors denounce the documentary. Several years ago one of them announced he had worked out what happened to Lonigan – but then went silent and we are still waiting for his explanation. He can’t find one that lets Kelly off the hook so he is hoping his boasting will be forgotten about. 'Fraid not!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Here’s a another of Ned Kellys lies about Stringybark Creek, from the Jerilderie Letter : <i>“Had they been my own brothers I could not help shooting them or else let them shoot me which they would have done had their bullets been directed as they intended them</i>” We know this idea that he had no choice but to kill is a lie because Ned Kelly chased after Sergeant Kennedy as he was running AWAY, and shooting back as he fled. Instead of letting him escape, Kelly, heavily armed, ran him down and murdered him. It’s an undeniable fact. Sympathisers claim that covering his bullet riddled body with a cloak was a sign of respect shows how out of touch they are with ordinary standards of human decency, and of the depraved way in which criminal minds function. In similar vein to his apparently ‘polite’ treatment of captive women, these displays are designed to mock and humiliate his victims. If he had any respect for the man he would never have shot him in the first place. Its also an undeniable fact that a couple of years later he was planning the greatest mass killing of police in all history – the outrage at Glenrowan. He went to Stringybark creek with an intention to provoke a confrontation that would give him an excuse to kill police – and he went to Glenrowan to kill police - no doubt about it – but this time he didn’t even bother trying to manufacture an excuse. The reality is that the Kelly sympathisers are all in very deep denial about the horrors of Stringybark Creek and what they reveal about their ‘hero’ Ned Kelly. At SBC he was not only revealed as a merciless killer but as a desperate liar. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Sympathisers engage in a sickening annual pilgrimage on the anniversary of Kellys death to the Gaol where their hero was hanged and leave flowers and cards expressing their grief. But will they leave flowers at Stringybark Creek today for his innocent victims? Not at all! What they will do instead is continue what Ned Kelly started – a campaign that is nothing more than a smoke screen, that began with attacks and vilification and lies about the murdered police. They are accused of being corrupt lazy mercenaries out to kill the Kellys for rewards they might have got from squatters. Leo Kennedys recent book explodes that nasty smear. He also debunks the nonsense about the police being in disguise, by providing something Kelly sympathisers wouldn’t be interested in hearing – FACTS! That’s why so many of them are refusing even to read his book!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The Kelly myth-makers misrepresent the SBC murders with the preposterous claim that it was a fair fight – but never explain how four armed men confronting two police, only one of whom was armed could be called “fair”. As Leo Kennedy mentioned in his recent book, most police had never fired a gun in anger – but the Kelly Gang had been practicing for this encounter for weeks beforehand, using trees near their hideout as targets. Everybody knows this. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">One of the academic apologists of recent times, John McQuilton can be seen on a 2003 You Tube video “Outlawed” pronouncing that the police came to Stringybark Creek <i>“heavily armed with Martini-Henry rifles”</i>. McQuilton then shows a pack-horse weighed down with equipment that includes at least FOUR of these rifles – but this is an utterly false claim, it’s a lie – the four police had ONE rifle, and it was a Spencer carbine, not a Martini-Henry. These FACTS have been known for 140 years so how on earth can McQuilton justify making such inaccurate statements? The Police also had a shotgun borrowed from a Mansfield Vicar – and that is the sum total between the four of them of the arms they took with them in addition to their service 6 shooter revolvers. “Heavily armed”? – no way! The irony of course, never mentioned by the Kelly apologists is that by the time Scanlan and Kennedy returned to the police Camp it was the gang who was very heavily armed, and the two police had a single rifle and two revolvers between them. The Gang were prepared to risk more deaths to get hold of them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">McQuilton adds another myth to the story with a claim invented in the 20<sup>th</sup>century that the police took ‘body straps’ – which he also shows loaded onto the horse. These straps, said to be the equivalent of modern day ‘body bags’ were NEVER mentioned by anyone anywhere until Ian Jones wrote about them in his book ‘The Fatal Friendship’. Its claimed these ‘straps’ are a kind of smoking gun that gives away what the police really intended to do with the Kelly Gang – kill them! If true, this would have been vital evidence in Kellys later trial – but as I say, nobody ever anywhere at any time in the nineteenth century EVER mentioned them. However, it WAS a well-known fact that the Police had HANDCUFFS with them – demonstrating unequivocally their hope was to be arresting living suspects and bringing them to Court. But which Kelly sympathiser ever bothered mentioning that?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">And what of the claim that the Police didn’t have warrants with them? Pro-Kelly people think this means the police were acting illegally – along with being in disguise – but there are the FACTS : there was no requirement then, and there is no requirement now, and there never has been a requirement that police have the warrant in their hand to show a suspect before they can be arrested. The ‘warrants’ issue is a red herring, a furfy, completely irrelevant!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">There is also the claim made by Ned Kelly and supposedly supported by the now discredited body straps theory – that the Police party intended to shoot the Kellys on sight. <i>“I heard that the police used to be blowing that they would not ask me to stand they would shoot me first and then cry ‘surrender’”</i> This is just another part of the Kelly disinformation smoke screen – it’s based on the claim by a Kelly relative, Pat Quinn about something that he claims Sargent Strahan said, and which was then passed back along the line to Ned Kelly. It’s a highly dubious claim, it certainly was NOT police policy, it certainly was NOT the practice of any of the police in the north east to go about murdering criminals, Strahan wasn’t in the party who camped at SBC, and the police who WERE in that party were led by a policeman with a very good reputation as an honest hardworking dedicated Cop. There is nothing in this slanderous story of police planning to murder the Kellys to suggest it isn’t just another one of the many self-serving lies that Ned Kelly told about SBC. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">So there it is – strip away all the red herrings and the smoke screens and the lies and disinformation and what is left - a merciless mass killing by a notorious liar - the elephant in the room that nobody in the Kelly world wants to talk about. They will talk about - and do talk about - absolutely everything else - but not this horrible event, the main event of the kelly story, the elephant in the room. It’s the fact that when confronted directly and honestly and in possession of all the facts, makes support for Ned Kelly as some kind of hero and an icon impossible for any reasonable, right thinking human being.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">There is one compelling reason why I believe everyone who purports to have an interest in the Kelly outbreak should read this book: to my knowledge it’s the first book since the outbreak that is an authentic voice from the other side of the argument. It’s not an argument ABOUT the other side of the debate by an ‘anti-Kelly’ author or an academic trying to find the balance and the middle ground in the great struggle between the Kellys and the Police – there are plenty of books like that. No, this is an account BY the other side, and for the first time. It’s a voice, a perspective, a family history and an account of an experience of the Outbreak that we have never properly heard before, and no matter what you might have already decided about the Outbreak, this voice from the family of a murdered policeman has to be respectfully listened to. Until now it’s been more or less drowned out by the machinery of the Kelly myth-making industry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">This was the realisation that dawned on me after I had read just a few chapters of this book, that this was a story we haven’t really heard before, and we all needed to listen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">I must admit, before my copy arrived I had some misgivings about it. I heard Leo Kennedy being interviewed on the ABC one morning and he seemed hesitant and nervous and didn’t make his case at all well. Even though the books title is “Black Snake The real story of Ned Kelly” I wondered if the book was going to be one long sob story about Bridget, Michael Kennedys widow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">I finally got my copy last Monday. It was a good-looking book, a proper hardback with a dramatic cover and a thick section of mostly familiar photographs in the middle. The writing style makes it very easy to read. There are 43 short chapters and a disappointingly thin smattering of references, but no Index and no Bibliography. True to its title, it wasn’t a sob story about Bridget Kennedy, but a story about Ned Kelly as seen through Kennedy eyes. I also realised it was written from a very clear and unambiguous moral perspective, something which was often lost in earlier Kelly narratives which in their attempts to understand the outbreak, and be seen to be even-handed, or perhaps because of confusion often avoid taking a position about the ethical qualities of Ned Kellys behaviour, making allowances for his behaviour on the basis of his claimed persecution, his claimed mistreatment and suffering as the son of a widow. But for Kennedy it is clear: bullying, forgery, thieving, lying and killing are unambiguously criminal. There are no excuses. There is no need to canvas alternative views, or take seriously the testimony of the known liar Ned Kelly in trying to understand, say, the McCormick incident or how Michael Kennedy died. Theres no point in trying to sugar-coat the brutality of hostage taking and Bank robbery at gunpoint with references to sham displays of courtesy to women, or forced dancing, and no point in even mentioning the foolish adulation of men or women who may have been taken in by it. So Kennedy ignores most of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Predictably, many Kelly myths are exposed in this book. For example, debunking the myth that the policemen who went to Stringybark Creek were in disguise, Kennedy points out that Policemen had to buy their own uniform, and it had to be kept in perfect order. However, because they were so poorly paid it could take a year just to pay it off, and so to prolong the life of their expensive uniforms they would often wear ordinary clothes when on country patrols. I also learned Police had only 12 days off per year, most had never fired a weapon of any sort, ever! - and Irish were 14% of the Victorian populous but 82% of Victoria police.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">How many of us knew of Edwin Graves, a stockman who caught Ned Kelly trying to steal his boss’s black mare in 1874, and ‘gave him (Ned) an absolute hiding’? Kennedy claims that Ned Kelly would often get drunk and pick fights because he wanted to be known for his toughness, and this need to impress people was his motivation for the Cameron, Jerilderie and other letters, and explains why whenever he had an audience he harangued and boasted and lectured anyone he could corner, self-justifying behaviour which continued even in the Court room after his conviction. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">I hadn’t known that the Kelly Tree was originally known as the Police Tree. There’s an anecdote about a woman who was so afraid of the Kelly gang that she hid her husband’s trousers so he couldn’t go and join the search for them! Kennedy says the green sash taken from Ned at his capture at Glenrowan wasn’t being worn as some kind of Irish republican symbol but as ‘wadding to protect his shoulders and chest from the leather straps and metal’. There were a number of other things he mentions without much support, such as that Fitzpatrick accepted a bribe of several hundred pounds from Ned Kelly to stay quiet after the ‘incident’, that the gang held up the Glenmore store for supplies prior to the Glenrowan showdown, and that in 1877 Ned and some others murdered a guy called Barron, reputed to have been an ‘enforcer’ employed by George King who also disappeared in very suspicious circumstances at about the same time. Some say for physically abusing his mother Ned murdered George as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">More importantly Kennedy debunks the negative mythology about the four police who went to Stringybark Creek, and in particular the reputation of his great grandfather Michael Kennedy, detailing his years of dedicated service to policing prior to his death, his status in the various communities that he worked in, and his devotion to his family and his community. One of the slurs still made against him, and one which Leo Kennedy says his great grandmother Bridget often mentioned and was deeply offended by was that Michael Kennedys motivation, in searching for the Kellys, was the reward being offered. Ned Kellys defence suggested to McIntyre at Kellys trial in Melbourne that Kennedy conspired with Scanlan at Stringybark Creek to set off that day without McIntyre and Lonigan in the hope they would catch the Kellys and only have to split the reward two ways instead of four. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">“McIntyre felt gutted to be dragged into a corner by Bindon. It was all hypothetical. It should have been objected to and stricken from the record. Bindons slurs showed the worst side of the combative legal system. Though baseless hypotheticals and conjecture, he had disparaged the dead men’s actions”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">In fact, Kennedy was known to share any rewards he received with anyone who had helped him earn it. Its recounted that in 1878 he received £40 for helping to capture Daniel McIntosh a sheep thief: he gave some of it to local informants, used half of the rest to pay down his mortgage and the rest he saved. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Kennedy offers some interesting perspectives on Ned Kellys trial. He believes David Gaunsons involvement was entirely self-serving, his main intent being to advance his own political interests, and that he ‘used’ Ned Kellys notoriety and fame to advance his own profile. He describes Gaunsons fake Ned Kelly ‘Interview’ – the one that begins “I do not pretend to have led a blameless life or that one fault justifies another...- as a ‘stunt’ which ‘wounded himself and Ned”, and his failure after two months to have produced a ‘brief’ as ‘ridiculous’. He reminds the reader that the option of manslaughter was not available to the jury because of a ‘special protection law’ which required that anyone who caused the death of a policeman while resisting or escaping arrest must be charged with murder-manslaughter was not an option. Bridget Kennedy always resented the fact that Kelly wasn’t tried for Scanlan’s murder and for the murder of her husband: “Then there would have been none of this nonsense that’s going on today” she quite correctly would claim.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">There were unfortunately a few important mistakes in this book. Kennedy correctly reports that Lonigan was killed within seconds of the order to ‘Bail up’ and well before he could draw his gun, but his claim that Lonigan had turned to run and was shot through the eye when looking back over his shoulder is wrong. Without listing the reference, he claimed that a bullet fragment entered Lonigan’s ‘upper chest near the right breast bone’ but I have never seen that reported anywhere in respect of Lonigan’s post mortem findings. He also was wrong to claim that bullets were fired into Lonigan’s dead body in some sort of bonding ritual, after McIntyre had fled. Leo Kennedy noted that Dr Reynolds told the RC that <i>“If wounds were inflicted before the circulation had actually ceased it would be impossible to state accurately whether they were before or after death”</i>but failed to realise that would have meant the firing of additional bullets into Lonigan very soon after he fell, something which McIntyre would have seen and reported. But he didn’t. But if those bullets had been fired into Lonigan long after McIntyre had fled the scene, circulation would indeed have ceased long before, and the wounds would have had a different appearance, something that Reynolds would have seen and reported – but he didn’t. This detail is particularly important as it was for Lonigan’s death that Kelly was eventually hanged. Getting this detail right cements in place the proof that what Kelly claimed about Lonigan’s death was a lie.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">There’s a brief discussion about the history of mis-identification of the site of the Police camp at Stringybark Creek, and Leo Kennedys involvement with Genepool and the makers of the Lawless documentary that was screened last year. The documentary makers claimed to have found the exact place of the police camp, and Kennedy says the siting problem <i>‘was solved by dating the hut and by matching Constable McIntyre’s map and the various descriptions from all testimonies given at the time with the Burman photos’</i>. These statements will mean nothing to everyone except the well-researched Kelly buff, and cannot be verified because regrettably Kennedy doesn’t supply the critical references. The claim that the hut was ‘dated’ is going to be news to everyone with an interest in that subject - no-one I know was convinced by the documentary makers glib explanations. Somehow, I expect if this claim is challenged, and I don’t doubt that it will be, it will be found wanting. The Lawless documentary makers claim to have found the place where Michael Kennedys body was found in 1878, “a quarter mile northwest of the camp” is also likely to be challenged!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Kennedy fell for a number of the Kelly baseless myths about Constable Fitzpatrick, describing him as foolhardy, saying he tended to be busier in the bedroom than in the police station, and that he died from cirrhosis of the liver. However, he claims the cirrhosis was not caused by alcohol but was a result of Fitzpatrick suffering from haemochromatosis. These claims are again not referenced but we know the death certificate didn’t mention hemochromatosis or cirrhosis so I am at a loss to know where he obtained this information from. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The last claim made in this book that I want to mention is the thing that probably surprised me the most. Anthony Griffiths, a Kelly descendant told Leo Kennedy on Valentine’s Day 2017 that Kelly descendants then and today are adamant: Ned was a horse thief and not a very good one. <i>“He did not have a political bone in his body. He was a thief who was too busy thieving”<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Now isn’t that interesting? I wish the Kelly descendants would tell that to the Kelly fanciers and ask them to stop hero-worshipping and making up stupid fairy stories about Ned Kelly, and lies about good men like Michael Kennedy. Notwithstanding my criticisms of this book, it is nevertheless a terrific informative and insightful read and a great addition to my Kelly library. Thank you Leo.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt;">With the recent passing of Ian Jones and Professor John Molony, the last remaining important links to the golden age of Kelly adulation were broken, and the Kelly story has reached a watershed. Up until Jones died, his mere presence in Kelly country was like a bulwark against the tides of change that were steadily turning against the popular image of Ned Kelly as the people’s hero. Jones’ word, written or spoken, could and did often settle an argument, close down a discussion or inspire another round of Kelly enthusiasm. No other figure in the Kelly world commanded anywhere near the same respect or wielded the same power and authority over Kelly history as did Ian Jones. One of the things that impressed me about his writing was that with some notable exceptions, for the most part Jones was prepared to let the evidence speak for itself. It must have been difficult for him to admit, in his discussion about the Fitzpatrick incident, that Ned Kelly lied about it. But Jones accepted the logic of evidence and facts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt;">I say we have now reached a watershed moment in Kelly history because there are no longer any spokespersons for the Kelly story like Jones and the cohort that accompanied him, such as Manning Clark, McQuilton, McMenomy, Phillips and the like, who have the standing and the academic authority that gave their pro-Kelly points of view credibility. These people are not all deceased but they have all fallen silent. We are at a watershed moment because the balance of credible academic opinion has now tipped the scales in the opposite direction. This is undeniable - all the credible voices that continue to discuss the kelly story are dismantling the old view:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt;">In tandem with the dismantling of the old view there has been a decline in the once active Kelly world, both online and in the real world. There was once a very active online forum called the Ned Kelly Forum. I joined but was kicked out within a few weeks, but Forum activity declined and then it disappeared completely a couple of years later. There was once an active free online forum called Kelly Country 2000 – it declined into inactivity and when it was recently threatened with closure by imposition of an annual fee of $80 its administrator announced it would close. Nobody offered a cent to keep it going! There are a couple of worthless Facebook pages devoted to Ned Kelly – but both are echo-chambers from which all dissenting voices are banned. They are inhabited by people whose main pre-occupation is attacking and vilifying every voice wherever it may be that expresses an opinion they disagree with. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt;">In the real world, Heritage Victoria is revising the tourist experience at Stringybark Creek, changing the emphasis from the gang of murderers to their police victims. The Ned Kelly Weekend, an event that devotees once attended in their hundreds has disappeared, due to lack of interest or support. At huge expense an exploration of the tourist potential of the Kelly story delivered a report to North east councils this year that suggested pouring buckets of money into promoting it, but all that’s happened so far is a lukewarm commitment to the least expensive proposals. The suggestion that a significant Kelly Centre with a tower be developed at Glenrowan, something that had already been mooted many years ago and dropped, has once again been dropped, and the Kelly descendant hoping to get millions for the Center after her own attempt to raise money flopped, has yet to even complete a web site which has been ‘under construction’ for years. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt;">In the movie world, the big money is not going into the actual story of Ned Kelly but into a fantasy based on him. Crowd funding for a grand Kelly outbreak movie promoted by Kelly devotees failed dismally. Now the same group are seeking funding for a movie centred around the demise of the Kelly Gang at Glenrowan – and have already announced it won’t contain one of the central myths of that bloody debacle, the myth that it was an attempt at establishing a Republic : progress in the right direction! Another Kelly movie, successfully crowd-funded and promoted not by devotees but by independent students of film-making is in production as we speak. It will depict the horrors of the Stringybark Creek murders – another step in the right direction, away from the myths and lies of the Kelly fables. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt;">Against that onslaught where are the defenders of the Kelly myths? The only voices that remain are those of a few remaining die-hard believers who gather in their echo-chambers on Facebook and reassure each other that yes, the whole world is out of step! Every single dissenting voice and opinion is shouted down with abuse, vilification and derision, and silenced by intimidation and expulsion. They plan to hold a talk-fest next April at Chiltern but with a couple of exceptions, the speakers are the same tired old amateurs who by all accounts will be recycling the disproven myths and yarns they’ve been telling for decades.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt;">Some of them claim to be Kelly ‘researchers’ but what they mean by ‘research’ is trawling the internet and the historical records for the tiniest shred of evidence that could possibly be construed or misconstrued as supportive of their extreme hatred of Fitzpatrick and their blinding pro-Kelly bias. An even easier tactic is simply to make stuff up about him – such as the contemptible unsupported and unchallenged claim made the other day on Facebook that he was a child molester. But the claim he was drunk and a liar and a womaniser is also made up. Lately in their attempts to shore up this increasingly untenable and pernicious view of Constable Fitzpatrick, in the absence of facts that support their claim about the kind of man he was when he visited the Kellys in April 1878, they have turned to muck raking and mud-slinging not just about the man he might have been many years later, but also about any of his near or distant relations - if they were unsavoury, that proves he must have been as well, according to these sleazy ‘private eyes’. But nothing about what happened to him after he left the police, or about his family or his next door neighbour or the price of fish is in any way relevant to what happened years before. If they want to make allegations about what he was when he was in the police force, they need to show evidence from when he was in the police force, not from decades afterwards. Their entire muck-raking campaign is a huge distraction and of no relevance at all to the causes of the Outbreak. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt;">To date none of these malicious muck-rakers have uncovered a single fact that supports their contention that in 1878 Fitzpatrick was a womaniser, a drunk and a liar. Not one blow has even landed on Stuart Dawson’s exposition of what happened, let alone dented it. However, at Chiltern next year one of these muck-rakers, Alan Crichton, is going to be opening the talk-fest with a presentation about Fitzpatrick. Going by his public utterances to date, this talk will be a sickening fact-free vilification of a man who died what would have been a lingering painful and horrible death from disseminated cancer that was invading his stomach. But Crichton says he is “now convinced he died from a liver complaint caused by an over indulgence in the consumption of alcoholic beverages”. According to Crichton “Fitzpatrick’s death certificate says it all”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt;">This conviction, that Crichton shares with his fellow Fitzpatrick-haters, is completely the opposite of what science and medicine and pathology textbooks say. There is no known link between liver sarcoma - which is what Fitzpatrick died from, - and ‘over indulgence in the consumption of alcoholic beverages’. And yet these wretched Kelly supporters are so determined to vilify Fitzpatrick that they simply close their eyes to the facts written in black and white in front of them on Fitzpatrick’s death certificate. Because he died from disseminated sarcoma which was invading his stomach and causing ascites, Crichton, who clearly knows nothing about medicine or pathology, is going to use that miserable lingering death as an excuse to label him an alcoholic. What more desperate act of cringing muck-raking could anyone imagine? Ian Jones would be spinning in his grave: he was the man who wrote "Fitzpatricks version appears to be closer to the truth than Neds version" and at another place, about something else said " we are in happy disagreement" - but such tolerance and openness will never be found or even tolerated in this disgraceful new crop of so called kelly 'researchers'. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt;">I suppose from my point of view I should be happy that the only voices that remain to defend the Kelly legend are people like Crichton and the other male speakers at this last stand at Chiltern. They completely lack the integrity and credibility that people like Ian Jones exhibited, and fair minded people will be, and already are turning away in droves – not just from their talk-fest but from their entire Kelly fairy story. Who would want to associate with a bunch of muck-raking haters?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt;">No doubt in my mind : the passing of Ian Jones was a watershed for the Kelly legends . There is no-one left with any credibility to defend it.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Until Stuart Dawson published his “Redeeming Fitzpatrick” article in 2015, the Fitzpatrick story had been more or less unchallenged and unchanged for most of the preceding 140 years. The story up till then focussed almost entirely on Fitzpatrick’s time in the Victoria police, which ended in less than three years when he was sacked in April 1880. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">What Dawson showed in 2015 was that the universally accepted view, promoted and supported by Ned Kelly and his apologists ever since, that Fitzpatrick was a drunk and a womaniser who then became a corrupt lying policeman, was not supported by a detailed and critical review of all the evidence, and that up to the time of the incident, he had an unblemished record. A month before the ‘incident’ an entry in his Police Record Sheet reads: “A young member of the force, likely to prove acceptable” (Morrissey 2018, p270). Dawson showed that Fitzpatrick’s testimony about the so-called 'Fitzpatrick incident' itself also stood up to intense scrutiny, and was consistent and reliable, something which could most certainly NOT be said about the testimony provided by the various Kelly clan witnesses for the defence at the trial. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">However, two years after the incident, Fitzpatrick was sacked, an event which Kelly apologists claim proves their point about him. In fact, Fitzpatrick was never charged let alone convicted for any alcohol related offences or for lying or for perjury, his sacking was not for being a drunk, or for being a ‘liar and a larrikin’ as they often assert, but for ‘inefficiency and insubordination’, a description that arose out of some quite trivial charges laid against him by senior police who had an openly admitted hostility towards Fitzpatrick. The outbreak and the murder of three police colleagues after the ‘incident’ led some police unfairly to hold that Fitzpatrick was largely to blame for it, and they wanted him gone. Despite his protestations and requests for an independent investigation into the charges against him, and the support of two petitions signed by a couple of hundred reputable citizens of Lancefield, the last town he was posted to, Fitzpatrick was sacked and that was the end of his police career. In 1881 Fitzpatrick was vindicated somewhat by the Royal Commission of enquiry into the outbreak, the Report offering no direct criticism of him and saying that his conduct ‘was justified by the rules of the service’. They had much harsher criticism of Standish, the Police Commissioner who sacked him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">In recent weeks, Kelly apologists have turned their attention to the rest of Fitzpatrick’s life in their search for support for their now disproven attempts to discredit his character and performance as a policeman. It had long been claimed as proof that he was a drunk, that his death certificate registered one of the causes of death as cirrhosis of the liver. This claim can be found in Justin Corfield’s Ned Kelly Encyclopaedia, but it’s wrong. The death certificate actually says he died of a disseminated liver sarcoma, it was invading his stomach and there was ascites, an almost universal accompaniment of disseminated abdominal malignancy. Despite the known facts regarding the pathology of disseminated malignancy, Kelly apologists like Bob McGarrigle, a Kelly gang ‘relative’ and former bank officer continue to insist on Facebook that the ascites proves Fitzpatrick was an alcoholic, and that I am a liar. What these people are refusing to accept is that disseminated sarcoma and cirrhosis both cause ascites, but what the doctor who did the autopsy found was that the cause of the ascites in this case was not cirrhosis but sarcoma. Sarcoma and cirrhosis are two very different things, but in this case the sarcoma was the cause of the ascites. Bob I hope you’re not going to go around telling every terminally ill patient dying of disseminated abdominal malignancy and ascites, like Fitzpatrick did, that they’re all alcoholics! But that’s what you’re saying of Fitzpatrick. Pretty nasty if you ask me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">So that attempt to prove Fitzpatrick was a drunk also failed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">In the last few days, still looking for an opportunity to vilify Fitzpatrick, they have resurrected the old news that someone called Alexander Fitzpatrick, listed on the charge sheet as a farmer, went to gaol for cheque fraud in 1894. Some but not all of the newspaper reports claim this Fitzpatrick had been drinking heavily. I mentioned this in my post a couple of weeks ago, and accepted the possibility that this man was ‘our’ Fitzpatrick, even though he was said to be a farmer and there were other details in the police record that didn’t match ‘our’ Alexander Fitzpatrick, such as that he was single and had dark hair. However, reasonable doubts remain; the cheques, for amounts of only one or two pounds were drawn on the bank at Orbost, which is a very long way from where Fitzpatrick was living in Melbourne in 1894. Adding to the doubts, Stuart Dawson made the surprising discovery that in 1891 an actual farmer named Alexander Fitzpatrick was approved for a lease of land at Murrungower, a few km further east from Orbost. As yet, no link has been found between ‘our’ Fitzpatrick and Murrungower, so perhaps he is in the clear after all? However, newspaper reports of this case, and even the Police Gazette mention of it, link this man with the Kelly outbreak. So, does that settle it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Well no, not quite.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Dawson reported in a comment to this Blog the other day that Fitzpatrick told Cookson (p. 94), about a number of cases of mistaken identity: “<i>A man was arrested for drunkenness or some other minor offence at Korong Vale, in the Bendigo district, and he said he was ex-Constable Fitzpatrick. A Bendigo newspaper printed a paragraph, reflecting on my character, and I issued a writ for £1,000 damages. My legal advisers, however, said that I would have to show that I suffered some loss in consequence … before I could succeed, and reluctantly I had to abandon the action. Every now and again, for years afterwards, I had to stand up and defend myself against unjust accusations”</i>. So, we know that identity mix-ups DID happen, and thus it’s possible that the newspaper reports and even the Police gazette got it wrong this time too, mislabelling the farmer from Murrungower as the former policeman from the Kelly outbreak. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Yesterday, I came across yet another intriguing twist in the tale : a post to Facebook that urges caution in the rush to judgement with news that there were two other police constables from that time called Fitzpatrick! One was Patrick and the other Charles! More opportunities for confusion and misidentification!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Lastly, we come to the prison photos of Fitzpatrick. In his recent book, Morrissey confidently dismisses the idea that the man sent to gaol was ‘our’ Fitzpatrick and says that the prison photos of the ‘farmer’ look nothing like ‘our Fitzpatrick’ - but others swear the opposite, saying it was definitely him. As we all should know, it’s easy to get it wrong – to anyone claiming certainty in their identification of the Police photo, I have two words: Gentleman Ned! Who wants to be reminded how the foremost Kelly biographer and all round expert on Kelly matters went out on a limb and declared his absolute certainty that the photo named Gentleman Ned was undeniably Ned Kelly, lampooning the doubters – only to be proved wrong! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">In the end though, the reality is this – even if he was an alcoholic in later life, and even if he did go to gaol for cheque fraud, these incidents cannot be used against Fitzpatrick’s unblemished record from years earlier as a young Policeman, to claim they prove that all the innuendo and lies that were spread about him back then must be true after all. The claims against him need to be justified by evidence from the same time, not by ‘evidence’ dragged back from the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The most likely reality, if these charges against him being an alcoholic and a fraudster in later life were proven to be true, is that they were a result of the outbreak, not a cause of it. There is ample evidence in modern society of the way in which the traumas of police and armed forces service can give rise to the disabling psychological injury now called PTSD. Enormous energy is now given to supporting men and women with PTSD because of the high risk that it leads to alcohol and drug abuse, marital breakdown, depression and suicide. Its entirely possible that after his harsh treatment in the police and what he regarded as unfair and summary dismissal, Fitzpatrick suffered with PTSD, and struggled to maintain his equilibrium. To continue to abuse and vilify the memory of a man likely to have been suffering PTSD would be contemptible – but then, look at how the Kelly apologists have been talking over the weekend about Kelly gang murder victim Michael Kennedy and his great grandson, the newest Kelly author Leo : contemptible! But then, bullying abuse, lying and vilification was the stock-in-trade of their criminal hero Ned Kelly, so why wouldn't they follow his example?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Having received my copy of Doug Morrissey’s latest work later than some of the other readers of this Blog, I understand now, having read it, why none of them volunteered to write a review of it for me. “Selector Squatters and Stock thieves” is not an easy book to read. It’s not so much an exciting tale of bushranging, the police chase, personalities and persecution, like most other Kelly books - Morrissey’s earlier one included - but instead is a very much drier and detailed examination of the entire social and economic environment of the time, the actual times and the actual place and the actual context in which the outbreak sits. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">There was a discussion about this context as far back as the landmark Kelly symposium in Wangaratta in 1967, where Ian Jones set out a view which has remained mostly unchallenged inside the Kelly mythology till now, that the difficult and divisive social and economic conditions at the time, and particularly selector poverty and the land wars between selectors and squatters were the seed bed for the Outbreak. From the floor at the symposium Jones view WAS challenged – by Weston Bate, an actual historian - but Jones brushed Bates objections aside saying “We are in happy disagreement”. McQuilton developed Jones idea further with his 1979 book The Kelly Outbreak in which he advanced the idea that Ned Kelly was a ‘social bandit’ – an almost accidental popular leader who emerges out of the sort of poverty and widespread social and political unrest Jones postulated was afflicting the north East during that era. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">In 1987 Doug Morrissey completed his doctoral thesis “Selectors squatters and Stock Thieves : A Social history of Kelly Country” at Latrobe University. It remains unpublished but ‘extensively revised and brought up to date with new research’ it forms the basis for this new book. In this book, Morrissey challenges the orthodox ‘Kelly legend’ view and offers a much wider overview of the district and its political, economic and social history than the very narrow and focussed perspective usually seen in the Kelly literature. According to the Kelly legend the north east was divided along strict ethnic, class and religious lines: Irish settlers were patriots and opposed the British, Catholics and protestants shunned one another, the poor selectors were at war with the wealthy squatters over land rights, police were the mercenary enforcers of squatter rights, and Ned Kelly emerged from a typical poor Irish selector background to become the people’s hero. This portrait, according to Morrissey is supported by a highly selective narrative which ignores the historical realities that he documents extensively in this book. Catholic Ellen Kelly, for example, married a protestant and so did her daughters Maggie and Annie – and Annie later had an affair with a policeman. The reality was vastly more complex than the Kelly legend and its proponents would have us believe. The Kelly scenario of widespread selector failure, poverty and disquiet, the sense of being under siege and oppression by police and squatter, the idea of the north east being a seething politically volatile hothouse ripe for revolution that was rescued by Ned Kelly - Morrissey shows that's all a fantasy. Yes, there were disputes, there was drought, there was crop failure and individual failures - but in the main the place was going forward, people were making their way ahead by hard work and community support of its varied constituents. The Kelly outbreak was pure criminality that emerged out of a fringe of larrikins and shanty dwellers who repelled the majority of the population of the north east.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The book of over 350 pages is divided into three parts: Social order and authority, Land settlement, and Crime and Policing. With respect to the prevailing social order Morrissey makes it very clear that the Lloyd/Quinn/Kelly clan were not in the least bit representative of the typical inhabitants of the north east: “Notions of respectability and decent public behaviour were taken seriously by the majority of the regions inhabitants”. They would not have approved of what Morrissey terms the ‘shanty culture’ of the Kelly clan, a life that revolved around the ‘shanty’, a communal meeting place that was the focus for a life centred around drinking, riotous living and larrikinism, and was associated with criminality of varying kinds – petty crime, sly grog selling, prostitution, stock theft. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Instead the majority of selectors were extremely hard working and stoic in the face of the physical challenges, including drought that faced them all out on the isolated borders of settlement. The typical selector was a hardworking, upstanding church-going member of local communities who respected the rule of law and traditional values. Even the ones who identified as Irish, and supported home rule for the Irish back home upheld the rule of British law in the colony. Selectors were noble folk in the main, breaking in the land and for many attempting a profession they had no prior experience of: according to Morisseys figures 37% of selectors in the districts that he studied described themselves as labourers and another 21% were such things as school teachers, miners and carpenters. Morrissey’s discussion of land acquisition under the constantly evolving legislation shows how selectors took advantage of the opportunities, and how frequently they were successful – he challenges a claim that only 37% of selectors in the north east were successful, with his own figures derived from an analysis of 265 selections made between 1868 and 1880 showing that ten years later 78% were still on their selections and 72% eventually acquired the titles to their land. All things considered, these are noteworthy outcomes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">In the third section of the book Morrissey reviews the criminal history of the clan, and discusses the complex relationships between police, the criminals and their informers. The full story of the Kelly ‘villains’ Hall and Flood is detailed, and was news to me, but Morrisseys view of Constable Alexander Fitzpatrick, is a view which he elaborated in his first book, and is wrong. I think he is close to the truth in portraying Fitzpatrick in some way as a ‘mate’ of Ned, but he fell into the trap of accepting Corfields entirely erroneous claim that Fitzpatrick died of cirrhosis of the liver. This trap has the effect of making the earlier and otherwise entirely unsupported claims about Fitzpatrick being a drunk easier to accept, and this then leads on to an acceptance of other equally unsubstantiated claims about Fitzpatrick, such as that he was a womaniser. Consequently Morrissey’s view of Fitzpatrick as a ‘scheming policeman’ is not one supported by the evidence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">That however is not my sole or even my main criticism of this otherwise very detailed comprehensive and informative book. My main criticism is that once again Morrissey has dispensed with even the slightest attempt at a bibliography or referencing, instead alerting us by italicising the words taken from elsewhere, but not providing even the slightest hint about where from. Morrissey simply expects us to take his word as gospel. He hasn’t provided us with the opportunity to explore further or to check up on what he claims is the case. This failure borders on contempt for his readers, and is a huge pity. Surely Morrissey knows that this book contains material that will be highly contentious in certain quarters, and the Kelly myth-makers will be desperate to discredit it. Unfortunately, by not providing any references he has given them the excuse they want, an excuse to reject everything he says in the book that they don’t like as just his opinion – and that will be almost all of it! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">This is in fact a really good book. It’s another step forward in the deconstruction of the mythology about life in the North East in the 1870’s, and further erodes what little remains of the case for Ned Kelly being the people’s hero from the north east. He was in fact a clever, violent and vengeful criminal whose support was non-existent once the money ran out, as is evidenced by the families inability to obtain the excellent services of barrister Mr Hickman Molesworth to defend him in Melbourne. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The story that’s been a central pillar of the Kelly myths and legends is that Fitzpatrick was a disgraceful womaniser, a liar and a drunk who framed the Kellys and caused the entire Kelly outbreak. Because of his disgraceful behaviour, he was sacked from the force and eventually he died of cirrhosis of the liver, an alcoholic. On Facebook only a few days ago one fanatic wrote “Many people lost their lives due to the actions of this alcoholic..” and another agreed saying “You are correct Anthony if my maths are correct I believe it is 12 people including 2 children." </span><span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 21.33333396911621px;"> </span><br />

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">However this series of Blog posts searching for the truth about Constable Alexander Fitzpatrick is almost at an end, and thanks to the discussions about him here and on Facebook pages, so also is the story that’s been told about him for 140 years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">What these discussions and the ground-breaking research of authors Ian MacFarlane and Stuart Dawson have revealed over the last five years, is that the Kelly claims about Fitzpatrick, like the ones quoted above, are mostly false. Consequently, in similar fashion to Ian Jones who, in 1967 delivered a lecture called “A new view of Ned Kelly”, the time is rapidly approaching when it will be time to deliver “A new view of Alexander Fitzpatrick’. The 'old view' is no longer tenable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Everyone claims that from start to finish Fitzpatrick was a rotten policeman. But he came highly recommended, and there is not one single complaint or other piece of adverse evidence of any kind in relation to his service up to the time of the incident. Not one single thing. The claims that he went to the Kelly home against orders and should have taken a warrant with him are false. The claim by Kelly supporters that the injury to his wrist was not consistent with his claim that it had been caused by a bullet is false. The complaints that were made after the incident, as discussed on this Blog, were often not found to be true, and those that were, were trivial. He was clearly made a scapegoat by police hierarchy who blamed him for the outbreak and admitted they had it in for him, they smeared his reputation without ever being asked to justify themselves, and the actual events that led to his dismissal were never detailed. Instead he was dismissed on the basis of a broad character assassination that was never challenged. Fitzpatrick requested more than once an opportunity to explain and defend himself but was denied it. The opinions of literally hundreds of the ordinary citizens of Lancefield who knew his work and signed a petition in support of him were summarily dismissed by both Standish and later Chomley, who lazily relied on the opinion of Standish. And yet, in 1881 when the Royal Commission investigated the outbreak, the policeman heavily criticised and rebuked about many aspects of his conduct was not Fitzpatrick but Standish, the man who brought about Fitzpatricks demise. The Commissioners wrote that what happened following Fitzpatrick’s visit was ‘unfortunate’ but in contrast to the Kelly myth about his visit, that it was against the regulations they wrote it “was justified by the rules of the service”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;"><br />They claim Fitzpatrick was a womaniser. This is because when he was engaged to the woman he would eventually marry - and stay married to until his death – he was paying maintenance for a child borne out of a previous failed relationship, a relationship about which we know absolutely nothing. But he seems to have dealt with it honourably. Some claim he had some sort of sexual interest in Kate Kelly, aged 14, and made some sort of improper advance toward her on April 15<sup>th</sup>1878. The only evidence for such a thing again is the evidence of known liars, the Kellys. Fitzpatrick denied it and even Ned Kelly didn’t believe the story about him interfering with Kate. Kate herself at first said it didn't happen, then changed her mind and said it did, and described circumstances that were inconsistent with the testimony everyone else gave about it. The moralising about Fitzpatrick’s relationships that comes from the Kelly camp is deeply hypocritical, given not only their known propensity to tell lies, but their own innumerable documented immoralities and sexual indiscretions, a topic no Kelly apologist would want to touch with a forty-foot barge pole, such is the sleaze such an investigation would reveal. There is nothing known about Fitzpatrick’s private life that suggests anything much out of the ordinary – despite the mud thrown and the duplicitous stance of Kelly supporters. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">They claim he was a notorious liar and denounced Fitzpatricks testimony about the incident at the Kelly home that Fitzpatrick became embroiled in, as lies. However, his testimony has been examined in forensic detail by Stuart Dawson and found to be remarkably consistent. His version of what happened never changed. There is no reason to disbelieve it. However, when the Kellys stories are examined in similar forensic detail, the Kellys are the ones whose story repeatedly changed and their testimony can easily be shown to be riddled with lies and inconsistencies. Even the Kelly fanatics favourite Kelly author, Ian Jones concluded that Ned Kelly lied about what happened. Mrs Kelly lied about it, so did her daughter Kate, and so did her son Jim. These are demonstrable lies, not hopeful allegations. But Fitzpatrick, though till now burdened with the endlessly repeated labels of liar and perjurer was never once accused of lying or perjury while a policeman, let alone convicted. Not once. What a sickening irony that the proven serial liar and thief is held up as an Aussie icon, and Fitzpatrick’s memory is trashed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Perhaps the meanest and most horrid lie told by the Kellys about Fitzpatrick is that he was an alcoholic. They claim he always had a problem with drink, was drunk when he came to arrest Dan and that he died from cirrhosis of the liver. Oddly enough this claim, about being drunk on arrival at the Kellys place is not made by Ned Kelly in his descriptions of the ‘incident’. Also odd, as we learned in our discussions, is that though the police force had harsh rules in relation to policemen drinking and frequenting pubs, Fitzpatrick openly spoke of his visit to the hotel at Winton and consumption of one brandy and lemonade refreshment on his way to the Kellys. One would have expected a liar and an alcoholic who didn’t want to be sacked to keep very quiet about going to a pub while on Duty and getting drunk– but Constable Fitzpatrick was never charged then or at any other time with any drink related indiscretions. Not once. And yet so determined were some in the police to pin something on him that they finally got him for laughing after lights out in the hospital, and for arriving at work 15 minutes late. That was about the best they could do. The fact that nobody ever mentioned a drinking problem amongst all the correspondence about him and his behaviour strongly mitigates against him having one. A recent suggestion by Kelly fanatics in denial about Fitzpatrick’s sobriety, that the reason he never appeared to be drunk is because, being an alcoholic, he had massive tolerance to the stuff is an argument that is beyond absurd. But it illustrates the extremes to which Kelly fanatics go back then and now in their attempts to maintain and find justification for their hatred of Fitzpatrick. The irony of course is that in contrast to the imagined alcoholism of Fitzpatrick there are innumerable frightful examples in the Kelly story of alcoholism wreaking havoc on them all, beginning with Neds own father Red Kelly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;"><br />The claim Fitzparicks death was from cirrhosis of the liver - alcoholic liver damage – is false. I have no idea why Justin Corfield wrote in his Kelly encyclopaedia that Fitzpatrick died of cirrhosis, because his death certificate clearly states he died from disseminated sarcoma of the liver which was invading his stomach and giving rise to ascites, in common with most abdominal malignancies. There is no known relationship between sarcoma of the liver and alcoholism. Kelly sympathisers of course claim to know better than medical science and the opinion of the doctor who did the autopsy and wrote out the death certificate, and continue to claim, in the absence of even one supporting fact that he DID have cirrhosis and he WAS an alcoholic because he had ascites.! The presence of ascites is fully explained by the disseminated sarcoma, and contrary to the desperate Kelly fanatics claim is not an indication of cirrhosis.<br /><br /><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Lastly we come to a couple of sad incidents in later life after his police career was over, that saw Fitzpatrick before the courts. In 1883 he and another bloke were fined for swearing and for breaking a window in a pub. The Fitzpatrick haters see this as additional proof of his dissolute alcoholic lifestyle, but he wasn’t charged with being drunk and disorderly, and though it mentions they didn’t want to pay for their drinks it doesn’t actually say he was drunk. Exactly what caused the disturbance is not clear. In 1894 someone called Alexander Fitzpatrick went to gaol for ten months for passing valueless checks. There are discrepancies in what is recorded about this Fitzpatrick – for example that he was single - that suggest to some people that this may have been a different Fitzpatrick. We discussed this at length three years ago on this Blog, but I see no reason to deny it may well have been the ex-constable.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;"><br />But neither do I see these two incidents as confirmation of anything other than that Fitzpatrick’s life after the Outbreak was not straightforward. He mentioned the difficulties that being sacked created for himself and his new family – he may well have become an angry and bitter man who had difficulty controlling his anger. Nowadays we might discover he had post-traumatic stress disorder, or depression. What I think is entirely unjustified though is to weaponize these incidents against Fitzpatrick’s unblemished record from years earlier as a young Policeman, and claim they prove all the innuendo and lies that were spread about him back them must be true after all. The claims against him need to be justified by evidence from the same time, not by ‘evidence’ dragged back from the future. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">In the last few posts I’ve been discussing what we actually know about Constable Alex Fitzpatrick. We know that up to the time of the infamous ‘incident’ he had an unblemished record of service in the Victoria Police. We know that contrary to popular opinion, there is not one shred of evidence that he had a drinking problem or was an alcoholic. We also know, having seen Fitzpatrick’s death certificate that Justin Corfield’s Ned Kelly Encyclopaedia got it completely wrong, claiming he had alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver when he died. The death certificate recorded that he died from Liver sarcoma that was disseminated and had begun invading his stomach. Sarcoma of the liver is a completely different an unrelated disease to cirrhosis. Anyone who knows anything about the way malignancies spread in the abdomen will know that this dissemination is almost always accompanied by an accumulation of fluid called ascites, which was also recorded on the death certificate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">I’ve also written about the complaints that were made about Fitzpatrick’s conduct in 1879 and 1880 that led up to his dismissal from the police in late April 1880. As far as I have been able to discover, only two charges were proven against him – one for laughing in a hospital after ‘lights out’, and the other for missing the train in Sydney and arriving late for work. He was eventually dismissed from the force by Police Superintendent FC Standish on the advice of Senior Constable Mayes, who admitted to the Royal Commission that from the moment he began working with Fitzpatrick he was looking for an excuse to get rid of him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">This week I want to continue the discussion about Fitzpatrick’s dismissal and show that he was absolutely right to complain to the Royal Commission that he was harshly treated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">After the “incident” at the Kelly house in April 1878, Fitzpatrick was transferred to Beechworth and soon after, was sent to Richmond, in Melbourne, apparently for his own safety. However, because he knew what the Kellys looked like he was then sent to Sydney to keep watch on the docks in case the gang tried to escape by sea. This turned out to be a good move because he discovered that Jim Wilson, a violent convicted horse thief sentenced to five years in Darlinghurst Gaol, in Sydney, was none other than Ned Kellys brother Jim Kelly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Last week I wrote that the charge of ‘neglect of duty’ that he pled guilty to, related to him ‘missing the train’. I thought this meant that he arrived late because he had not caught the train that brought him to work, but I’ve re-read those documents and realise I misinterpreted them. “Missing the train” referred to the fact that he was supposed to have been at the Station when the Southern Train arrived to he could scrutinise the passengers as they got off, and look for any members of the Kelly Gang who might have arrived on it. He arrived at 7.15 on the morning of April 30<sup>th</sup>1879, quarter of an hour late, missing the train that arrived at 7am and wrote, in explanation, that his own watch was at the Jewellers getting repaired and he was using a watch lent by the watchmaker which ran late. In the PROV file there’s a report from a detective who was sent to the Jeweller to check out Fitzpatrick’s story – and it did. Unsurprisingly the Jeweller said of the watch that he lent Fitzpatrick, that it was <i>“considered a fair time keeper”. </i><br /><br />There was also a complicated story that arose out of a complaint by a hair dresser in Sydney about Fitzpatrick and a woman he knew called Edith Graham (elsewhere named as Edith Jones), an employee of Kazimany(?) Thomas Pogonowski, a hair dresser. Pogonowski maintained that on the very same day that Fitzpatrick had ‘missed the train’, April 30<sup>th</sup>1879, Fitzpatrick engaged him in conversation in his shop to distract him, while Edith stole jewellery , ‘wearing apparel’ and money to the value of seventy pounds (£70). However when Senior Constable Edward Reatingye(?) interviewed Pogonowski he was told the value of the stolen goods was £50. Edith later claimed that the jewellery had been given to her by Pogonowski “under the pretence of marrying” – which sounds suspiciously like a payment or an inducement for ‘services rendered’ by the servant girl to her employer. The report of the incident tendered by Fitzpatrick says that Inspector Rush told Pogonowski that <i>‘it was not the second or third time he had been troubled with him and the woman he keeps</i>”. Fitzpatrick directed police to the place where Edith lived, he recovered the supposedly stolen items and in the end no charges were laid against anyone. However, as a result of this incident the police hierarchy decided to recall Fitzpatrick to Victoria. Reports were sent from Sydney to Standish in Benalla, and after reading them he wrote, on May 12<sup>th</sup>1879 : <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">But let’s be fair here: Fitzpatrick came to work late once – or possibly twice – and he was mixed up in a dispute between a dodgy employer and his employee, but neither he nor the alleged thief was ever charged let alone found to be guilty of anything. And that was it. On the positive side, the record shows he worked 12 to 14 hour days and he had very usefully identified Jim Kelly in disguise, but he received no credit for that. Standish claimed on the basis of the Edith Graham incident that he was ‘in the HABIT of associating with persons from whom he should stand aloof’ and for that, and perhaps twice being late for work his ‘ENTIRE conduct’ is branded as being ‘calculated to bring discredit to the Victorian police’. Where is the evidence that Fitzpatrick was in the HABIT of associating with the wrong sort of person, or that his ENTIRE conduct was unacceptable? These are gross misrepresentations.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">It’s interesting to compare Fitzpatrick’s treatment by Standish with his treatment of another policeman the Kelly supporters love to hate: Constable Edward Hall. Hall was the one who tried to arrest Ned Kelly for horse stealing and when Ned was about to escape, drew his gun and pulled the trigger three times – but it misfired each time. Ned then attacked Hall but once he had been subdued, Hall bashed Ned’s head in with his revolver, and had to get a doctor to come from a nearby town to stitch up the mess he made. Later still, in Court, Hall lied about documentation that hadn’t actually been issued when he claimed to have seen it. So how did Standish respond to this obviously dishonest and violent policeman? He described him as <i>‘hasty and injudicious’</i>and transferred him out of the district. Fitzpatrick, on the other hand for what, by comparison, were minor incidents was roundly condemned and kicked out. How can that be fair?<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">So, Fitzpatrick was recalled to Victoria in late April 1879. Not long after getting back to Victoria he sustained a leg injury which must have been quite severe because he was in the Police hospital for almost four months. That was where he broke the rules by laughing out loud after lights out and was fined 5 shillings! In September 1879, now recovered, he was transferred to Lancefield and the supervision of the already hostile SC Mayes. As I recounted last week, at the Royal Commission Mayes admitted his determination from the outset to get Fitzpatrick out of the force, and so he complained about an incident involving Fitzpatrick, saying he had neglected his duty. However as I also detailed in the previous post, when this incident was investigated, according to Fitzpatrick’s unchallenged testimony to the RC, he was <i>“exonerated of all blame”.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Never-the-less in April 1880, without making any attempt to ascertain the particulars that supported the sweeping condemnations of his character supplied from Sydney, and by SC Mayes at Lancefield, and without giving Fitzpatrick an opportunity to defend himself, Standish dismissed Fitzpatrick from the police. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">In July 1881 Fitzpatrick told the Royal Commissioners what happened: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">“I was instructed by Senior-Constable Mayes to proceed to Melbourne from there. The late Sergeant Porter had my voucher made out to be stationed at Romsey, temporary duty for a few days. That night a telegram was sent to the police depot, stating I was to be discharged from the police force to-morrow. That was Tuesday. I asked Captain Standish to tell me the reason why, and he just explained that he had received this communication from Mayes ; and I understood from Captain Standish that was the sole reason I was discharged from the police force ; and I think, as against that, those 200 petitioners ought to go further than Constable Mayes. It is hard my character should be blackened. I might have erred in small things. There are many constables in the force who have done more serious things than I did, and have remained in the force and got promotion.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">In reference to his dismissal he was asked <i>:“Had you any opportunity of reply ?<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The petitions that Fitzpatrick mentions are a pair of remarkable documents that, to their shame, the Kelly story tellers have almost universally, and deliberately ignored. Ian Jones doesn’t mention them in the supposedly greatest Kelly biography ever written. Peter Fitzsimons doesn’t mention them either and neither do sundry other lesser Kelly story tellers like Paul Terry and Ian Shaw, all of whom condemn Fitzpatrick in the usual way, as a drunk and a liar without restraint. However, Ian MacFarlane discussed them in his landmark work from 2012, and so does Grantlee Kieza in his excellent 2017 biography of Ned Kellys mother. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The reason the Kelly myth-makers like Jones and Fitzsimons have ignored these two petitions, and why nobody anywhere else wants to talk about them is because they represent an almost complete rebuttal of the Kelly myth about Fitzpatrick, that he was a disreputable drunk and an incompetent and useless policeman. What they show, in an extraordinary display of support for Fitzpatrick is that the ordinary people of Lancefield held him in high regard. On one side you have a few senior police who appear to have made use of a series of minor infringements to smear the reputation and rid the force of a policeman they disliked, perhaps for personal petty reasons, – and on the other side, two HUNDRED respectful citizens of Lancefield who regarded Fitzpatrick as a perfectly good policeman. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

We deprecate the slightest idea of any desire to interfere in the slightest manner with the discipline of the force nor do we desire to question the administration, but on hearing that Mounted Constable Fitzpatrick was discharged on a report from a superior officer that he did not do his duty, could not be trusted out of sight and associated with low persons we felt constrained to give our free testimony to the fact that during the time Mounted Constable Fitzpatrick was in the district he was as far as we could see, and we came in contact with him every day, zealous, diligent obliging and universally liked.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Unfortunately, as Fitzpatrick told the Royal Commission, the Chief Secretary had left decisions about Appeals and Enquiries in the hands of F C Standish, the Police Commissioner. Nowadays we would not allow a person with such a marked conflict of interest to adjudicate on Fitzpatrick’s request for a board of Inquiry, but things were different in 1880. Standish exercised his power to deny the request for an enquiry that would have resulted in indepndant scrutiny of his decision to sack Fitzpatrick. Why would he want that? He might have been embarrassed at being found wanting ! – which was of course what the Royal Commission DID indeed find the following year. His conduct of the police operations was, according to the 1881 royal commission on the police, <i>'not characterized either by good judgment, or by that zeal for the interests of the public service which should have distinguished an officer in his position'</i>. His response to the Lancefield petition was equally dismissive of the possibility that two hundred citizens of Lancefield may have seen something in Fitzpatrick that he had missed. His reply, on May 10<sup>th</sup>1880 was as equally self-serving : <i>“In reply I beg to state that the ex-constables conduct during the time that he was a member of the force was generally bad and discreditable to the force. I cannot hold any hope of his ever being reinstated to the position of constable on the Victoria police”<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The irony of this remark is that it shows how blind Standish was to the evidence right in front of him that completely contradicted his belief that Fitzpatrick was "generally bad and discreditable to the force" - the petitioners are attesting to the fact that he was GOOD and in their eyes he was a CREDIT to the force! Standish and the others didnt want to know - thy just wanted him out!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Remarkably, a year later the citizens of Lancefield were still concerned about the treatment handed out to Fitzpatrick by the police hierarchy and a second petition was presented, this time to H M Chomley who had replaced Standish. Chomley also declined to offer Fitzpatrick an opportunity to argue his case, and instead relied on the unsupported opinions recorded on his file, but added <i>“I have always heard him described as a liar and a larrikin”</i>. In fact it was the Kellys who promoted the view that Fitzpatrick was a liar – it isn’t recorded anywhere in his Police file that he was a liar, or ever charged let alone found guilty of perjury. So not only did Chomley deny Fitzpatrick the opportunity to defend his reputation, he trashed it further by adding his own unsubstantiated claim that he was a liar. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">There would seem to be more to Fitzpatricks story than is made clear from the surviving documentation, and I suspect it was something about Fitzpatrick’s personality and style that got under the noses of police hierarchy. He seemed to be able to relate to ordinary working-class folk but not to the rigid disciplinarians of the police hierarchy. There’s no evidence that he was an alcoholic, but if there was, I think I could understand why he might have become one because whichever way you look at – and unfortunately for the Kelly story very few people have even tried to look at it, so blinded are they by their unfounded hate for the man – Fitzpatrick was treated disgracefully by all sides. The redemption of Fitzpatrick started by Stuart Dawson, continues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Last week I showed that the Kelly legend claim that Constable Fitzpatrick was a drunk is wrong; its not true. The claim that he was a drunk is entirely based on the word of the Kelly family, people who told many lies about what happened when Fitzpatrick visited the Kelly house in April 1878 and there is no reason to believe their claim that he was drunk when he got there wasn’t just another one. That’s because there is simply no other evidence anywhere, including his police record up to that day, and right through to the end of his time in the police that he had a problem with drink. On Facebook all week the Kelly sympathisers have been showing they are in deep denial about this fact, repeating that lie to themselves over and over and over again – they just want to carry on villifying Fitzpatrick with the false label of drunk, but not one of them has fronted up with a single scrap of proof to back it up - thats because there isn't any! However in desperation they foolishly posted Fitzpatrick’s death certificate, thinking, in their understandable but unacknowledged ignorance of medicine and human pathology that it proved he had cirrhosis of the liver, the disease that alcoholics often die from. However, the certificate, as seen above, actually proved conclusively that what he died from was something entirely different. Sarcoma of the liver is a nasty malignancy, a kind of cancer that in Fitzpatrick’s case was invading the stomach, and as is common with invasive malignancies in the abdomen, there was also ascites. None of this has anything to do with alcoholism or cirrhosis of the liver – he didn’t have it. This led to the realisation that a lot of them believe he died from cirrhosis of the liver because that’s what Justin Corfield’s Ned Kelly Encyclopaedia says he died from – but Corfield got it wrong too, as the death certificate shows.<br /><br />An important point that they all seemed to have missed is this : even if the death certificate had said he died of cirrhosis and was an alcoholic in 1924, this was some 46 years after his fateful visit to the Kelly home and it couldn’t possibly be counted in any serious way as evidence that he was drunk on April 15<sup>th</sup>1878. But it didn't, and he wasn't.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">This week’s post is going to concentrate on another aspect of Fitzpatrick’s life and career that Kelly followers have got completely wrong, as a direct result of another of Corfield’s mistakes about Fitzpatrick. This time it relates to Fitzpatrick’s dismissal from the police. This is what the entry for Fitzpatrick in Corfield’s Ned Kelly encyclopaedia says about it :<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Corfield’s dates are wrong for a starter: Fitzpatrick was discharged from the force in late April 1880, but the more important error is Corfield’s claim that the dismissal was for perjury and for being a drunkard. As shown here last week there is not one shred of evidence anywhere that Fitzpatrick was a drunkard, and he was never convicted of perjury during his time in the force, so one has to wonder where exactly Corfield got his information from. In fact, the precise terminology given by Chief Police Commissioner Standish as his reason for dismissing Fitzpatrick from the police force, was because of ‘inefficiency and insubordination’ – words which indicate very different kinds of misdemeanour from lying and drunkenness. But what exactly were the details of Fitzpatrick’s acts of ‘inefficiency and insubordination’?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Those are very serious allegations – particularly to claim he couldn’t be trusted out of sight, and never did his duty - but it seems Standish wasn’t all that interested in finding out the details of exactly why Mayes believed these things about Fitzpatrick or in giving the accused an opportunity to put his side of the story, and he went ahead immediately and sacked him.

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The problem for Fitzpatrick was that his reputation preceeded him to Lancefield. Mayes seemed to have taken a dislike to him from the start, having heard about various charges and misdemeanours that had been laid against Fitzpatrick while working with NSW police in Sydney in 1879. While there he pled guilty to a charge of misconduct and to another of ‘neglect of duty’. But what exactly were the crimes that led to those charges? The former related to an incident that occurred while he was in hospital for several weeks with a severe leg injury – he was caught laughing after “lights out”! Oh my God! What a shocking thing to do! And as for the ‘neglect of duty’ charge – this was because he missed the train! His explanation - that his watch was at the watchmakers for repairs and the replacement one kept poor time – was not accepted. But whichever way you want to look at it these were minor offences<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">However, Fitzpatrick was also charged with some slightly more serious offences : ‘being in a house at unlawful hours when you had no business being there’ and ‘being at night in the premises of Morris Casey and causing trouble and annoyance to the family’. He was also accused by a Sydney jeweller of engaging him in conversation to facilitate the shoplifting of jewellery and money by a maid, Edith Jones. However, none of these three charges was proved, there is no record of him ever being charged with perjury and police declined to prosecute Edith Jones. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">However, rather than giving Fitzpatrick the benefit of the doubt and accepting that he was innocent until proven guilty, Standish wrote to Sydney requesting he be sent back to Victoria because “..he has evidently mixed himself up in a matter calculated to raise grave suspicions of his honesty. He is I fear a useless and worthless young man”. No proof just suspicions.<br /><br />He also wrote “I have also to direct that Mr Nicolson will be good enough to find some station for him where he will be under the supervision of an Officer or strict sub-Officer who should be much acquainted with the necessity of keeping a tight hand on Fitzpatrick”<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">So, back in Victoria under the watchful gaze of SC Mayes at Lancefield, Fitzpatrick’s every action was going to be closely scrutinised. Mayes later admitted that one way or another he was determined to get rid of Fitzpatrick, saying to the Royal Commission “I had a great deal to do to get rid of him and at last had him dismissed”. Fitzpatrick never had a chance!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">But what exactly were Mayes actual complaints? They are never mentioned in the Kelly literature for some reason, but Fitzpatrick was interrogated at length about them at the Commission, and what they reveal is astonishing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Answer : “For neglect of duty.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Answer: “I am speaking of this one charge at present.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">12906. “What was the nature of the neglect?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Answer: “There was an assault, one swagman struck another, and the swagman came and asked me to arrest this other man. I was in uniform at the time, and I declined to arrest him as I did not see the assault committed; and I said, " If you swear an information and get a warrant I will arrest him, or if you give him in charge and sign the sheet I will arrest him." He would not do either, and came and told Senior-Constable Mayes I would not arrest him. Mayes sent a foot man to arrest him, and he was brought up and fined by a justice of the peace; and Mayes reported me to Superintendent Hare, and he referred it to Sub-Inspector Baber, of Kilmore, and he came over and heard the case; and as far as I remember the minute on the charge exonerated me from all blame. That is one of the charges that has been brought against me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">From this account it appears Fitzpatrick attempted to follow due process and to uphold the rule of law, in refusing to accede to the demands of a ‘swagman’ that he arrest someone and charge him with an assault that Fitzpatrick had no knowledge of. Instead Fitzpatrick advised the complainant to follow due process, but the man complained to Mayes. Mayes ignored due process, arrested the man being complained of and then, no doubt believing he had at last found the reason he needed to set in motion his plan to get rid of Fitzpatrick, reported him to Hare. Babers investigation exonerated Fitzpatrick, no doubt to Mayes disappointment, and resentment was now added to the suspicions he had about Fitzpatrick from the moment of his arrival. Eventually, Standish reported that it was “a piece of gross impertinence to his superior officer” that was the last straw. What exactly the gross impertinence consisted of is not mentioned, but the Superior Officer who reported it was of course Senior Constable Mayes. He finally brought Fitzpatrick down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Its hard not to agree with Fitzpatrick that he was harshly treated. Laughing after lights out, and missing the train were the only two things they could convict him of. But mud sticks!<br /><br />If readers have knowledge of other charges or complaints about Fitzpatrick while he was in the force I would like to hear about them. Next week I will write about the Petition from the citizens of Lancefield who completely contradicted the vilification of Fitzpatrick by police hierarchy, saying of him “He made several clever captures and appeared to us as one of the most efficient and obliging men in the force”. Remarkably, the Kelly myths about Fitzpatrick persist only because Kelly followers would rather believe the word of the Kelly liars and criminals, and of the police they otherwise distrust entirely, than accept the opinion of more than 100 upright citizens of Lancefield. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">In the first two parts of this investigation of the Kelly claims about Constable Alexander Fitzpatrick, I described the novel and cruel conspiracy theory proposed by Alan Crichton to explain how it was that Fitzpatrick could have ever become so important in the Kelly story when, according to Crichton he was <i>‘an arsehole from the moment he popped out of the womb’</i>. Crichton’s view is that this policeman, Alexander Fitzpatrick, was simply an unwitting pawn in a masterplan devised by his seniors in the force to ensnare ‘the heart and soul of the clan’, Ned Kellys mother Ellen. Crichton’s conspiracy theory fails because, as I showed, there is no evidence to support his central claim about Fitzpatrick that he was an incompetent and morally bankrupt policeman, let alone an ‘arsehole from birth’. In fact the evidence, the facts that we actually know about Fitzpatricks life to that point, the facts which should be the basis of our history telling, are that at least up until the ‘incident’ itself, Fitzpatrick’s life and career was nothing out of the ordinary. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">His private life was complicated, but there’s no evidence that it was by any means a tale of depravity and sexual licence as is so often implied by Kelly supporters. All we actually know is that an earlier relationship that produced a child failed, and by 1878 he was engaged to someone else - Anna Savage. He paid maintenance for the child and he married and remained married to Anna Savage for the rest of his life. However, even though Fitzpatricks private life was his own business and nothing to do with the Kelly story, Kelly supporters unrelentingly discuss it and misrepresent it as part of their campaign against him. In doing so they expose their own deep hypocrisy over the issue of moral failures because they always conveniently ignore the gross moral failures of multiple members of the Kelly clan, failures which include not just rumours but actual convictions for indecency, for sexual assault and domestic violence, as well as innumerable pre-marital and extra-marital infidelities and pregnancies. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">So now let’s look at the claim that Fitzpatrick was a drunk. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">The claim that he had a problem with alcohol was never mentioned anywhere by anyone before the incident. If any Kelly supporter has such evidence I would be most interested to see it. After the incident though, the Kellys and their apologists like Kenneally and everyone ever since right down to the most recent Kelly books all maintain that according to the Kellys, when Fitzpatrick arrived at the Kelly household he was to a greater or lesser degree, ‘under the influence’. Predictably, as part of their attempts to malign his character it will be claimed he drank to give him the courage to approach the Kellys. Ever since that allegation was made, Fitzpatrick is almost never referred to as anything other than a drunk. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">But where is the evidence for this claim, other than the unreliable word of the Kellys? There is no record of him having problems with alcohol during the time that he was in the police force, so it would be entirely out of character if true. On the other hand, if the Kellys wanted to destroy his testimony about what happened at their house that evening what better way than to make up lies about him being drunk? We know for an absolute certainty that many of the Kellys DID tell lies about what happened : Ned Kelly lied, saying he wasn’t there; Ellen Kelly lied and said at first that Fitzpatrick hadn’t even been there, and so did her daughter Kate, but then she changed her mind and produced a second version that were lies about her being there alone with Fitzpatrick; and Jim Kelly who was in gaol in NSW at the time later told Cookson that he WAS there and that Fitzpatrick was drunk. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Against the word of this family of liars we have Fitzpatrick’s open admission that on the way to the Kellys he had a single drink of brandy and lemonade during a brief stopover for information, we have the testimony of the Publican, Lindsay, who said that on his return Fitzpatrick was sober, and we have the fact that until that day there was not one shred of evidence anywhere that he had a drinking problem. Stuart Dawson’s detailed and compelling <a href="http://artsonline.monash.edu.au/eras/files/2015/11/Eras-171-4-Stuart-Dawson-FINAL.pdf" target="_blank">analysis</a> of the time-line covering Fitzpatrick’s journey from Benalla to the Kellys that day shows conclusively that there was barely enough time for Fitzpatrick to have stopped at Lindsays Hotel for one drink, let alone the ‘several’ others have claimed he had on the basis of ZERO evidence, or the ‘hours’ claimed by Peter Fitzsimons that he spent there fortifying his courage, again on ZERO evidence. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">It’s true that later, when Dr Nicholson was examining Fitzpatrick’s wrist wound he noticed the smell of Brandy on his breath. But this was brandy administered by Lindsay to Fitzpatrick on his late-night return in a distressed state with a wounded wrist. It was commonplace in those days for Brandy to be used in this circumstance for ‘medicinal purposes’. And in any case Nicholson said that Fitzpatrick most definitely was NOT drunk!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">So, who should be believed? A man who to that point has a clean record as a policeman, the testimony of a publican who would know drunkenness if he saw it, and the word of his doctor - or the testimony of a family of known liars in a desperate search for an excuse and someone to blame? There is no credible evidence to support the claim that Fitzpatrick was a drunk in 1878. None at all. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">However, it may be argued that an absence of evidence of him being a drunk isn’t proof that he WASN’T one – absence of evidence is not evidence of absence – and I expect that Kelly sympathisers will be untroubled by all this discussion because in the back of their minds they will be telling themselves that Fitzpatrick’s dismissal from the police in April 1880 proves that their suspicions about Fitzpatrick were correct. In fact, the complaints and the charges against Fitzpatrick that resulted in his dismissal – which I will review in Part Four – had nothing to do with him being drunk, or having some sort of a problem with alcohol. The subject of drunkenness is not mentioned anywhere in any of the charges and allegations that were raised against Fitzpatrick when he was in the force, and at the Royal Commission, during a long and detailed cross examination, the subject of intoxication and alcohol abuse was not mentioned once, by anyone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">There’s one other thing : some 15 years after the Outbreak, someone called Alexander Fitzpatrick was convicted of passing worthless cheques and was sent to gaol for a year. The cheques were for amounts between £1 and £2, and the newspaper articles mention that he had been drinking heavily at the time. If we put aside the possibility this could have been a different Alexander Fitzpatrick – the court documents give a different date of birth and describe him as single – this is the only known objective association of Fitzpatrick with drinking. But no fair-minded person could regard this one mention as in any way giving credence to the allegations of the Kellys 15 years earlier – the conviction wasn’t anything to do with drunkenness, and there is no way of knowing if this was a ‘one-off’ event precipitated by some other personal crisis, or evidence that he had a problem with alcohol. And even if he did have a problem with alcohol in 1894, this in no way can be interpreted as support for the otherwise completely unsupported claim by the Kellys, that he did in 1878. A lot can happen in 16 years - and certainly did, when it comes to the life of Constable Fitzpatrick.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">It’s a bitterly ironic fact that the only people who made allegations about Fitzpatrick being a drunk were a family of known criminals and proven liars whose own members had convictions for drunkenness, for arson committed while drunk, for sexual assault committed while drunk and who apparently operated an illegal ‘sly grog’ outfit. Why on earth would anyone believe them – especially when there isn’t one single fact that backs them up?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">In conclusion, review of the claim by the Kellys that Fitzpatrick was a drunk - and repeated ever since by people wanting to support the Kellys claim that it was all Fitzpatrick’s fault – provides absolutely no support for the claim. It was a slur aimed at discrediting the man whose evidence resulted in Mrs Kelly and two others going to gaol and would have put Ned and Dan Kelly away for several years as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; line-height: 24px; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 32px;">Fitzpatrick may have been many things, but the idea that he was a drunk in 1878 is a lie.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The first priority of anyone writing about
history - and this includes the Kelly story - is to get the FACTS straight. And
its even more important for people who purport to be some sort of expert on the
topic, that they get their facts right.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So when someone like Jack Peterson gets the
facts wrong on his Facebook page called “An introduction to Ned Kelly”, I wonder
if its just simple ignorance, or is there a deliberate intent to trick people
into agreeing with him, by providing false information? Here are three recent
examples to consider:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">ONE : Peterson wants you to believe that Fitzpatrick lied when he said he was shot in the wrist, so he wrote : </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><i>"An interesting footnote to Fitzpatricks claim that Ned Kelly shot him is that it couldn't be confirmed by Dr Nicholson who treated the wound to his wrist"</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It’s hard to imagine it was an innocent
mistake to refer to only HALF of what Nicholson said, when the WHOLE statement makes it very clear that Nicholson thought Fitzpatrick probably WAS shot in the wrist - but thats what Peterson did - he used only HALF the sentence! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt;">The FULL sentence is :</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">"<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Could
not swear it was a bullet wound</i>... " ( thats the bit Peterson wants
you to know about) but the rest of the sentence is - (and this is the bit he
DOESNT want you to know about) - <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"....BUT
IT HAD ALL THE APPEARANCE OF ONE</i>"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Ian Jones - who Peterson says is his favourite
Kelly author - says in a discussion about this wound in ‘A Short Life’ <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">:<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">"Dr
Nicholson said at the trial, in a neglected comment, "The wounds are
consistent with Fitzpatricks statement" meaning that in his opinion the
entry wound WAS caused by a bullet and the exit wound by a knife" </span></i><span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So take your pick : Petersons view, which is
based on only half of the evidence, or Nicholsons’ view and Jones
view ( and mine) that the evidence in its entirety supports Fitzpatrick.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">TWO: Its hard to imagine Peterson made
another innocent mistake when he quoted the <u>middle</u> of a sentence from
Fitzpatricks testimony to the Royal Commission, making it sound like
Fitzpatrick was admitting to be an unfit policeman, but thats what he did. In fact if you read
the whole sentence its blindingly obvious Fitzpatrick was merely explaining
what someone had said about him. This is what Peterson wrote a few days ago: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

Fitzpatricks own admission 'I could not be trusted out of sight and never did
my duty' An acknowledgement that would cast doubt on the truthfulness of his
evidence in a criminal trial"<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Peterson is propping up a Kelly myth by again only
quoting half of the facts, which are these : <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the Royal Commission Fitzpatrick was asked;

the report of Senior-Constable Mayes, at Lancefield ; and I asked the Chief
Commissioner if he would kindly inform me why I was discharged from the police
force, and he told me. He said, on the recommendation of and communication from
Senior-Constable Mayes, of Lancefield, stating that I was not fit to be in the
police force, as I had associated with the lowest persons in Lancefield, and
could not be trusted out of sight, and never did my duty."<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">How could anyone claim that reply was an
'acknowledgement '? Fitzpatrick was merely reporting what was said about him, and
certainly NOT agreeing with it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">THREE: Its just as hard to imagine Peterson
made yet another innocent mistake when he got it all wrong trying to explain
why an incident with a missing horse resulted in Ned Kelly getting three years in prison and Wild Wright only eighteen months.
Here again he simply ignores words that ruin his argument! What Kelly
sympathisers like Jack Peterson want you to believe is that this story about
Wild Wright and the horse proves that Ned Kelly was victimised and
treated harshly and unfairly by the Courts. Their ‘proof’ is the fact that when
Ned Kelly was sentenced for receiving a horse that was originally taken by Wright,
Ned Kelly was given double the sentence that Wright was given. This is what
Jack Peterson wrote the other day on the topic : <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Kelly was
charged with horse stealing but as he had been in Beechworth Gaol when the
horse was stolen the charge was downgraded to receiving. Issiah Wright would
later be arrested and charged with stealing the horse. Ned Kelly was sentenced
to three years hard labour yet Issiah who actually stole the horse was
sentenced to eighteen months gaol.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The problem here is that Peterson is once
again deliberately leaving out vital words to create an impression that
supports his view, and completely obscures the truth of what happened. In fact, he is only doing what Kelly writers have done with this story for decades, but copying the mistakes everyone else has made doesn't get him off the hook. So here are the facts : Firstly, Wright was NOT convicted of stealing the horse, as Peterson would have
you believe. He was convicted of ‘illegally using’ which is quite different
from stealing. “Illegally using” was when someone took<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a horse out of someone else’s paddock without
permission, rode it into town and returned it back to its paddock, hopefully before the owner became aware of
what happened. It wasn't regarded as a particularly serious crime. Apparently, Wild Wright was known to have done this using that
same horse before on more than one occasion, but the owner of the horse, who said he
only ever used it on Sundays, hadn't pressed charges. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However,
this time after he had taken the horse it went missing and so Wright couldn’t return it, and the owner
reported it stolen. Eventually Wright was convicted for ‘illegally using’ and he got
eighteen months.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Next, Peterson - deliberately or ignorantly?
– says Ned Kelly was convicted of “receiving” but that is also not correct. The
word Peterson deliberately left out this time is “Feloniously” a term which
elevates ‘receiving’ into a whole new stratum of criminality. It was all
exposed in Court, on the testimony of James Murdock, who told how Ned Kelly had
tried to involve him in a scheme to sell that horse and some others, knowing
they were all stolen horses. Kelly had no intention of ever returning the horse to its owner, whereas Wright would have. Therefore, Kelly was convicted of ‘Feloniously
receiving’ a horse, which is a much more serious crime than illegally using. So
– bigger crime: bigger sentence : three years! Not persecution of innocent
Kellys at all - another Kelly myth laid bare.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">This is what happens time and again in the Kelly stories : when you uncover all the facts the myth evaporates like a puddle under the hot sun. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In this post I have shown how Jack Peterson has deliberately misrepresented the facts to promote versions of history which are untrue. It is simply dishonest to quote half a sentence, or just the middle of a sentence, or to leave out important words and relevant pieces of information whilst trying to make an argument about anything. But he is not alone when it comes to the misrepresentation of Kelly history - its something that Ned Kelly himself began, and it's continued ever since. I have no doubt that Peterson will continue to behave in this way, but, with these exposures I would say </span><span style="font-family: calibri light;"><span style="font-size: 21.33333396911621px;">his credibility is zero and nobody should take anything he writes seriously, </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 21.33333396911621px;">because he cant be trusted to tell you the whole story.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 21.33333396911621px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 21.33333396911621px;">If you want the whole story, the true story - read my Blog!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Last
week I described Alan Crichton’s Fitzpatrick Conspiracy theory, and pointed out
what it would mean for the traditional Kelly mythology if it was accepted. Crichton’s
theory is that the Fitzpatrick incident was a plot devised by Brooke-smith and
Whelan with the aim of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>getting at Mrs
Kelly. According to Crichton, Ellen Kelly was the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘heart and soul of the Clan’</i> and getting rid of her would have been
a major strike at the troublesome selector family. To make this happen
Brook-smith and Whelan needed an incompetent and morally bankrupt policeman who
could be manipulated into doing their will, and according to Crichton,
Fitzpatrick fitted the bill! I noted last week that Crichton had written <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“I don’t like the guy”</i> and guessed that
was an understatement – well he’s more than confirmed it this week with this
post to a Facebook page <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“This bloke was
an arsehole the moment he popped out of the womb”. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The
idea that Fitzpatrick was ‘an arsehole’ from birth is actually the fatal
weakness in Crichton’s conspiracy theory. Ask Kelly sympathisers and Crichton
to detail what facts they know to substantiate this claim and the only things
they can offer are slander about his personal life – I will come back to that –
and things that happened AFTER the ‘incident’. There is simply not one shred of
evidence anywhere, including on his police record, that in his year in the
police force BEFORE the ‘incident’, that Fitzpatrick was anything like the
rotten character Crichton needs him to be to fit into his conspiracy theory, or
for that matter the rotten character the Kelly sympathisers needed him to be to
sustain their character assassination of him. Not one shred of evidence. The
only evidence we have of Fitzpatrick’s character leading up to the ‘incident’
suggests he was an entirely satisfactory policeman. Here’s what Standish had to
say about him to the Royal Commission:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Smyth was a Crown prosecutor, and, according to his Obituary 'was for many years the leading man". </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt;"> Whelan
had nothing to say to the Commission that was adverse about Fitzpatrick in respect of
the nine months he worked at Benalla, and Constable Thomas McIntyre described
him as “</span><i style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt;">a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">decent</b> young fellow”. </i><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt;">An entry in Fitzpatrick’s Service Record,
dated 22</span><sup style="font-family: "times new roman";">nd</sup><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt;"> June 1878 says “An efficient constable”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Against
these facts, and no doubt greatly contributing to modern day hatred of Fitzpatrick
like that exhibited by Crichton, we have Ian Jones baseless allegations in ‘A
short Life’ that Fitzpatrick’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘first
year in the force had been a chapter of unreliability, bad company, narrow
scrapes and a fondness for liquor”.</i> This is outrageous because there is
simply not one fact to support this ‘verballing’ of Fitzpatrick – and several
facts, already quoted, that directly contradict it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Peter
Fitzsimons, like Jones and just about every other Kelly author joined in this
baseless character assassination writing of Fitzpatrick before the ‘incident’ that
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“He is neither dutiful nor diligent,
neither honest nor humble, not courageous nor courteous. His key passions are
pursuing the fairer sex and drinking, though usually in the reverse
order…..Since joining the police force in April of the previous year his police
record<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>has been a litany of louche
laxity, ill-disciplined drinking, slovenliness and being placed on official
reports”</i> Again, this is an outrageous verballing of the man – there are
ZERO facts – no evidence AT ALL to support this description of Fitzpatrick in
the lead up to the ‘incident’. <br />
<br />
Later of course, as every Kelly sympathiser knows off by heart, like a line in
a Kelly Catechism, Fitzpatrick was described as a ‘liar and a larrikin’, and he
was eventually dismissd from the force in disgrace. I will discuss all that in
Part Three, but for now I am interested in what we actually know about Fitzpatrick’s
character and service BEFORE the ‘incident’. Already we have established that before
the incident his service record and reputation as a policeman were unremarkable.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">What
I now want to focus on are the facts about his private life which have been used
to create the popular belief that Fitzpatrick was a sleazy womaniser, a morally
bankrupt sexual predator. Crichton called him ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">a philandering drunkard’</i>. The facts said to support these claims
are that he was engaged to someone who was already pregnant, and he had
previously fathered a child in an earlier relationship with a woman called
Jessie McKay, from Meredith. There is also the claim that he was pursuing Kate Kelly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The
circumstances of the prior relationship that produced a child are not well known,
but Fitzpatrick paid maintenance for the child, something even today many young
men do their best to avoid doing if at all possible – so his example in that
regard was a good one. We also know that Fitzpatrick married his pregnant fiancé
and the marriage was apparently long lasting and successful, something which I think
at the very least again speaks to something positive in his character. As far as
the interaction with Kate is concerned, Mrs Kelly only ever said that
Fitzpatrick had tried to kiss her. Kate herself initially denied that Fitzpatrick
was ever there, then later changed her story but curiously didn’t offer it in
support of her mother’s defence at her trial. Why not, if it was true? Surely it would have helped her mother. Some months
later Kate was reported to have said that she was at home alone when
Fitzpatrick arrived, and that he immediately began to behave ‘improperly’
toward her but then Ned Kelly burst in and drew his gun. That scenario if true
would make a liar of Ned Kelly who said he wasn’t there, and a liar of all the
other supposed witnesses who said it was Fitzpatrick who drew the gun and that
Kate wasn’t home alone. Ned himself contradicted his sisters claim saying that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“If he (Fitzpatrick) or any other policeman
tried to take liberties with my sister, Victoria would not hold him”.</i> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There
are therefore many good reasons to have serious doubts about the truth of the
claim that Kate was molested by Fitzpatrick, but if Mrs Kelly is to be believed
it was no more than an attempt to kiss her. If Ned is to be believed nothing
happened, and as for Kate, which of her three stories should be believed? These
deep uncertainties demand caution in the formulation of narratives around this
issue but they are ignored by the Kelly sympathisers in their determination to vilify
Fitzpatrick, and they routinely claim he attempted to rape - or actually raped -
Kate Kelly. This is an outrageous slur that should be challenged every time
someone utters it but pro-Kelly Facebook Page moderators never do. Their
interest is not in the true story but in perpetuation of whatever myths and
lies support their hero-worship of Ned Kelly, and repetition of any anti-police lies and hate that anyone cares to voice. But lets be honest here : paying child support and having a
pregnant fiancé – which is what we actually know about Fitzpatrick - <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>is hardly the stuff of moral depravity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There’s
one other thing about the Kelly supporters routine, holier-than-thou vilification
of Fitzpatrick that requires comment : it is deeply hypocritical, and I am sick
and tired of it. The apparent sense of moral superiority that motivates their ridicule
and scorn of Fitzpatrick because he was paying child support and engaged to a
woman already pregnant is accompanied by a very deep denial of the manifest
moral failures of innumerable members of their own clan – the arsonist Jim
Kelly, the sexual predator James Quinn, the serial fornicator Ellen who conceived
to three different men out of wedlock, the unfaithfulness of Annie Kelly who
bore a daughter to a policeman while her own husband was in prison, the prenuptial
impregnation of Ellen Barry aged 15 by Aaron Sherritt, the drunkenness, the
lying and stealing, the bashings and domestic violence suffered by Margaret
Quinn, the horrific animal cruelty of John Lloyd ….the list is almost endless
and the Kelly-lovers hate it ever being mentioned. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> They don't want anything to disturb their deep denial of Kelly clan depravity - b</span>ut really, their extreme judgemental attitude
to Fitzpatricks minor failings is just sickening hypocrisy. Its time for them to face reality : Fitzpatrick wasn't an arsehole from birth, he wasn't the villain : the Kellys were.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In April
next year there will be some sort of a Kelly convention at Chiltern, not far
from Beechworth, a fund raiser for the Chiltern Athenaeum. One of the speakers
has already announced what his topic will be: Constable Alexander Fitzpatrick: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I'll be doing a presentation on this bloke at
the Kelly event in Chiltern next April and I won't be holding back.” And then
he says, in what is probably an understatement, and somewhat ominously “I don’t
like this bloke”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Of all the
people Kelly sympathisers hate, and there are many, Fitzpatrick is without
doubt the person Kelly sympathisers hate the most. They all claim, as did Ned
Kelly himself that the entire Kelly outbreak is Fitzpatrick’s fault because he lied
about what happened at the Kelly house when he went there to arrest Dan Kelly
in April 1878. They mostly allege that Fitzpatrick was a drunk, a bumbling but
treacherous fool who made a mess of his attempt to arrest Dan, and then to get
himself out of trouble concocted the story of an assault. Some say the police
hierarchy jumped at the opportunity to escalate the fracas into an attempt to
murder a policeman so they could put as many of the Kellys away as possible. The
bloke who will be giving the Lecture at Chiltern next year, Alan Crichton, believes theres much more to it than that. Several years ago he developed and wrote up a conspiracy theory about the episode,
and for a long time its been available on the Iron Outlaw Site, in an article
called – wait for it – ‘The Fitzpatrick Conspiracy’. He wrote<i> “the whole
scenario at the Kelly hut on the 15th of April 1878 was one big setup by police
long before Fitzpatrick’s arrival at the hut”. </i>I expect that is what he will be
expounding on next year at Chiltern.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Now, for the
benefit of everyone who reads this, and in particular for the many people in
the Kelly world who don’t seem to be able to tell the difference between
playing the man and playing the ball, please understand that what follows is
not an attack on Alan Crichton. I have never met the man and know nothing at
all about him except for the fact that he likes to write about the Kelly story.
But this essay is not about him – its a critique of the claims he has made
about the Fitzpatrick Affair in that article. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Crichton’s
conspiracy theory is that the motivation behind the entire Fitzpatrick affair was that the police wanted to imprison Mrs Kelly: <i>“The police
knew how much Ned and his siblings were devoted to their mother. She, after
all, was the heart and soul of the formidable clan”</i>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What they needed was an excuse to get into her
house, and a policeman who could be manipulated into going there and causing
trouble. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">According to
Crichton, the chief conspirators were Superintendent Brooke-Smith and Sergeant
Whelan at Benalla who, in their search for a suitably pliable policeman picked
out <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Constable Alexander Fitzpatrick to
be their fall guy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i>“Out of all the
capable officers in Victoria at the time, Inspector Brooke Smith happens to
choose one of the most incompetent larrikins in the force in the form of Alexander
Fitzpatrick. With Fitzpatrick’s shocking reputation and being in the force but
one year, why would Brooke Smith choose a bloke like this to take over the most
dangerous station in the North East? It could not be through lack of choice.
Any officer chosen would have been a better replacement than Fitzpatrick.” </i>To
Crichton, the only possible explanation for the involvement of such an
incompetent as Fitzpatrick in this affair, is that he was specifically chosen because
of that very same incompetence. Crichton wrote <i>“I believe that Alexander
Fitzpatrick was simply used by his superiors as their inebriated, gullible,
desperate, and quite dispensable sacrificial lamb.”</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">According to
Crichton’s conspiracy theory, to insert their man into the scene, Brooke-Smith,
created<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a temporary vacancy at the nearby
Greta police station by sending its usual occupant, Senior Constable <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Strahan, to NSW to search for Ned Kelly. Theres
also a story that Strahan was off sick – and Crichton thinks that if that was
the case, it was a ‘sickie’, a fake illness that provided an excuse to have him
off work. Either way, with Strahan out of the way, Brook-Smith and Whelan were
able to send in their hand-picked stooge, Fitzpatrick, to replace him and to do
their bidding at the Kelly house. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">All police
needed now was a pretext to get Fitzpatrick into the Kelly house, and it
appeared in the Police Gazette of April 10<sup>th</sup> 1878, in a list of
arrest warrants that had been issued, and one was in the name of Dan Kelly for
horse stealing. Crichton writes: <i>“The police now have reason for entering the
Kelly hut, an opportunity for Fitzpatrick to start an aggravating confrontation
<u>as planned</u>, and a chance to incriminate the senior members of the
household with a charge of assault, or what unfortunately turned out to be
cries of attempted murder”.</i> (my underlining)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The last
piece in Crichtons conspiracy theory is his belief that Fitzpatrick was such a
coward that he wouldn’t have been persuaded to visit the Kelly homestead unless
he was first assured that Ned Kelly himself wouldn’t be there. Therefore according
to Crichton, Whelan and Brooke-Smith told Fitzpatrick that Ned Kelly was
in NSW, and Strahan had been sent there to try to find him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So,
according to Crichton’s theory, primed by his superiors lies, Fitzpatrick saddled
up at Benalla on Monday april 15th, and headed off to take his temporary
appointment at Greta. With Whelans encouragement, he would stop off at the Kelly
homestead on his way past, start the planned ‘aggravating confrontation’ and
arrest Dan Kelly if he happened to be home. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I am not
sure if Crichton or anyone who has read this theory over the years realises it,
but it undermines some of the important pillars of the mainstream Kelly myth,
the most important one being that this was all Fitzpatrick’s doing. Instead,
according to Crichton, Fitzpatrick was as much a victim in all this as the Kellys
were, an unwitting tool in the hands of his scheming superiors, their <i>“quite
dispensable sacrificial lamb”</i> Accoding to Crichton Fitzpatrick was tricked by Whelan
and Brooke-Smith into walking into a situation that was bound to go badly,
given their understanding of Fitzpatrick’s incompetence and the Kellys state of
mind after years of police harassment, a virtual powder keg waiting for a
match. If Crichton’s theory were to be believed Fitzpatrick has to be seen as a
figure of pity, a weak pliant and pathetic individual who was duped and sacrificed
by his superiors, and as a result had his career ruined and his reputation forever
and falsely blackened. If Crichton’s theory were to be believed, the true
villains were Whelan and Brooke-smith, not Fitzpatrick. If Crichton’s theory
were to be believed it would mean that for 140 years the Kelly sympathisers
have been directing all their venom and hate at the wrong police. <br />
<br />
Another thing Kelly sympathisers would have to abandon if Crichton’s theory was
accepted is their long-held view that Fitzpatrick disobeyed orders when he
visited the Kelly home. They say that police were ordered to never go there alone
- <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>but he did, and so they say, in
addition to all his other personal faults, Fitzpatrick was insubordinate,
further proof of his unfitness to be in uniform. But according to Crichton his
superiors ordered him to go there, and they were happy for him – indeed they
wanted him to be - alone. So if Crichtons theory is to be believed, Fitzpatrick
was doing exactly what he was told to do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Somehow, I
don’t think Kelly fanciers really want to give up hating Fitzpatrick, but if
they are going to adopt Crichton’s conspiracy theory, they would have to. They are struggling already to let go of their attachment to the unhistorical Republic theory - could they let go of the man they love to hate so much, Alex Fitzpatrick, and instead see him as a figure to be pitied? If they wont do that they will have to reject Crichtons conspiracy theory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">For the second time this year,
in an egregious violation of my absolute right to privacy, Mr Mick Fitzsimons
has taken it upon himself to broadcast on his Facebook Page personal details
about me and my origins and profession. Not only that, he has yet again
broadcast outright lies and innumerable defamatory statements about me, and
encouraged others to participate in a hate-fest of derogatory attacks on me,
personally. He has never made a secret of the fact that his campaign is aimed at silencing me, and denying me the right to
hold and to express opinions about Kelly history that he disagrees with, on my
own Facebook pages and Blog - yes truely, he thinks I should be stopped from
posting my own thoughts and my own ideas on my own FB page and my own blog!
Breathtaking!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Until now I have not made any
formal response to the unending stream of abuse and vilification, or the accusations
levelled at me by this individual, but this latest attack requires a response.
However, it will be my only comment on the topic, and there wont be any
comments posted in response. I want to talk about the Kelly story not internet<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>thuggery. This comment is<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>not addressed to Mr Fitzsimons or his
supporters – they are only interested in directing lies and hate at me. No,
this is directed at any fair-minded individuals out there who might believe in
the time-honoured tradition of everyone being given a fair go, in the idea that
in an honourable contest you attack the ball and not the man, and in the idea
that everyone’s right to privacy should be respected. These are ideas that by
his half-decade of attacks on me, Mr Fitzsimons has demonstrated he doesn’t
believe in. His lies have ben repeated so often that people are starting to
believe them. Fair minded people who read his posts need to hear the truth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I am not interested in
recounting in detail the tawdry history of Fitzsimons attacks on me; suffice to
say that his version of it is nonsense. My first contributions to the Kelly
debate were under my own name, in 2012, not anonymously as Fitzsimons wrongly claimed yesterday. But from the moment I expressed an opinion
about the Kelly story that Fitzsimons disagreed with, I became a target for his
personal attacks and unwarranted abuse, including the disgusting and offensive
suggestion I had something in common with Dr Joseph Mengele, a Nazi criminal
who tortured and experimented on women. Subsequently I rejoined the debate as
Dee, so that my surname would not be a distraction, and soon enough made it
quite clear to anyone who would listen that Dee was not my real name and the
image I used was an Avatar, and not in any way indicative of anything in
particular. Fitzsimons however is determined to promote his childish idea that
I am pretending to be a girl, that I am hiding behind the identity of a girl
and now we have people claiming I wear women’s clothes, that I am a
‘cross-dresser’ and today that I am a ‘Kiwi sheep rooter’ a filthy comment that
several people found amusing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fitzsimons
himself, in an act of blatant hypocrisy, participated at length<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>on a Forum using a womans name, and an Avatar
of a baby sucking a dummy – but he was never accused of pretending to be a baby
or hiding behind a woman’s name.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
participated anonymously in<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>many forums
- further acts of hypocrisy. (I know this because I was the administrator of
several Proboards Forums - the administrator can see IP addresses – and though
Fitzsimons likes to disguise his address with a proxy server he is also lazy
and careless)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Fitzsimons and others, as well
as attacking me personally at every opportunity, also commenced a relentless
campaign to violate my privacy and to find and broadcast my personal details on
the World Wide Web, a campaign which resulted in Fitzsimons and others on
several occasions confidently declaring they knew my identity, and then wrongly
naming several innocent people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Earlier
this year he circulated images of me to his pals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This offensive campaign continued right up to
last week when Fitzsimons announced that I am Mr T, an anonymous poster to my
Blog. This is what he wrote : “Mark you have to know that Mr T is David and
like Bob, I don't know how you can associate with that scum”. Once again,
Fitzsimons is dead wrong. I am not Mr T. I have no idea who Mr T is and I don’t
care. Its none of my business who Mr T is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But from Fitzsimons page we now have the sickening spectacle on Thursday
of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a self-declared Kelly descendant
supinely offering thanks to Fitzsimons and declaring, in reference to his
violation of my right to privacy “you deserve this honour to disclose this
information”. What kind of people think there is something honourable about
invading someone’s privacy and broadcasting personal and private information
about someone on the Internet? Its actually a crime!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In a time when everyone using
social media is being constantly warned about hacking and the need to protect
ourselves from identity theft and criminal activity on the internet, we all
have an absolute right to determine how much or how little of our personal
lives we expose on the Internet and on Social Media. That is why I have never
objected to people posting on my Blog or on any Facebook page using a pseudonym
or calling themselves ‘anonymous’. It is an individual’s right, theirs alone
and not mine to determine if they want to broadcast their personal details on
the internet. I am interested in what people have to say, not in who they are.
If it’s clear they don’t wish to be identified, I give absolute respect to that
choice of theirs. Not so Mr Fitzsimons, and his supporters – they have decided
that THEY will be the ones who decide who gets to keep their personal details
private or not! Who the bloody hell do they think they are?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So I am not Mr T, or any of the
many other people who post comments anonymously or using pseudonyms on my
Blog.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even though I have for years
repeatedly and consistently and truthfully denied it, Fitzsimons continues to
claim they are all fake identities created by me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So for the last time, I will say it yet again :
They are not fake identities invented or in any way linked or related or known
to me. I post to my Blog as Dee and nobody else. I have no idea who Ashleigh
Broad is, who Cameron is, who Horrie and Alf are, who Roy or any of the other
names listed by Fitzsimons are. They are people who post to the Blog with their
own ideas and thoughts. They’re nothing to do with me and if they don’t wish to
disclose their identity, that’s their right and I respect it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I have never posted personal
details online of anyone. I have never asked the police to investigate
Fitzsimons or anyone else. I have never stalked anyone. I do not have multiple
personalities. I am not a pervert or a criminal or a disgraced doctor. I am not
fat or balding. I am not a psychopath or mentally unstable. I have never dared
anyone to name me; No, all of these allegations that Fitzsimons has made
against me are lies, blatant bullying by him and his gang of Facebook thugs who
want to make me go away, to silence me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But they have failed. I am
still here, I am not going away and I am not going to be silenced. I will
continue to exercise my right to have and to express my views on Kelly history
on my own FB page and my own Blog. I will not allow my right to freedom of expression to be trampled on by these people.As always anyone who wants to contribute to
the discussion in a positive way, anyone who wants to play the ball and not the
man will continue to be welcome to do so, whatever their opinion is. But for
Fitzsimons and his ilk, the solution is incredibly simple : if you dont like
what I write don't read it. Write your own stuff on your own places about your
own Kelly beliefs, leave me out of it, mind your own bloody business and stay
the hell out of my private life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The
following is a critique of Steve Jagers <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AustralianBushrangers/?hc_ref=ARTKhGcMVYTa7dJlBgVDZMx6_-85CexLlLvdQUtSTdoiC-fRkPPEVNN4RrFd2Z2O_i4&fref=nf" target="_blank">response</a> to the recent publication by Stuart
Dawson of a free book that discusses the origins of the claim that the Glenrowan
incident in 1880 was Ned Kellys attempt to establish a republic of north-east
Victoria. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its important to note that I
am deliberately calling it a response to the ‘publication’ of Dawsons book rather
than a response to the book itself – because firstly, according to Dawsons
comment on my Blog, Jager had already published much of this material some years
before. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore it simply cannot
possibly be regarded as a response or a refutation or in any way a direct
challenge to the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>material in Dawsons
book, but is instead a re-issuing of a statement released by Steve Jager several
years earlier of his reasons for believing the Republic idea has historical
validity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Secondly,
Jager’s document can be seen to be a reaction to the <u>publication</u> of the book
rather than to its <u>content</u> because, apart from two trivial exceptions he
doesn’t directly address a single one of Dawson’s arguments. There is no
attempt in Jagers article to refute Dawsons arguments – all Jager does is recycle
historical claims about a republic, claims which are all directly dealt with in
Dawsons book. To think Steves piece in any way undermines Dawsons claims is to reveal that you either havent read Dawsons book or else you didnt understand it, or what constitutes actual 'research'.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 4.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The two exceptions to Jagers practice of ignoring Dawsons book almost completely are found in the first couple of
paragraphs, the first being a misinterpretation of what Dawson wrote. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 4.5pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">“</span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The preface to the paper begins with, "It is a close
examination of a longstanding claim, first made and promoted by influential
Kelly historian Ian Jones from 1967 onwards...." Following is a collection
of sources directly referencing Ned Kelly's republic from newspaper articles
which predate Dawson's claims against Ian Jones by over 20 years!”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 4.5pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">As the whole sentence and the rest of the book make clear, Dawson is NOT claiming that the Republic idea
was introduced by Ian Jones from 1967 onwards. All he is saying is that 1967
was when Ian Jones began discussing it. So Jagers argument here falls flat, but for anyone who might not have read the book, it creates a bad, but entirely false and misleading impression.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 4.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 4.5pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">A little further on, Jager wrote this:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 4.5pt;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Since the publication of
Dr. Stuart Dawson's paper, he has also mentioned that Leo Kennedy who is the
great grandson of Sergeant Michael Kennedy, will also be writing an article to
mention that as a child he overheard a conversation in Shepparton between his
father and Thomas Patrick Lloyd in which Lloyd mentioned he, "fed those
nuisances a whole lot of nonsense" deliberately "to make them look
stupid", in reference to Kelly researchers who had approached him for
information regarding the republic.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 4.5pt; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">By including this oral history as
information to help try and back up his claims, Dr Stuart Dawson is effectively
contradicting himself by trying to omit oral history with, oral history..”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 4.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 4.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Jagers point seems to be that you can’t dismiss
one claim on the basis that its oral history and then expect to be believed if
you then use oral history to make a claim of your own. In fact, oral history
has a role to play in all historical research, but as Ian Jones himself said </span><i><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">“At times, it’s
uncannily accurate. But even family tradition can come up with awful traps and
inaccuracies”</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">As the various stories told by Thomas Lloyd
illustrate, oral history can indeed be ‘problematic’. In fact, with perfect timing to illustrate my point, this very weekend a clash in oral
history has been exposed with a living Lloyd descendant claiming that she sat
in on the interview her father gave to Doug Morrissey, and the kelly republic was
never discussed. Morrissey now asserts he has never met this woman, that her
father gave him several interviews, that most definitely they discussed the
republic, and Lloyd told Morissey it was a fabrication! So whose oral tradition
are we going to accept? I am sure neither of these people are telling lies, and that there will be a perfectly sensible explanation as to why their two recollections seem to be incompatible, but until that has been found, who can be sure exactly what took place?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The point about oral history is that it shouldn’t
be automatically rejected as<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>rubbish or immediately accepted as reliable history but instead claims need to be carefully scrutinised and used with
caution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On page 24 of his book Dawson
discusses the place of oral tradition in the Kelly Republic story in detail,
but Jager doesn’t discuss the arguments there. His point about oral tradition
also falls flat : Dawson <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>does not
contradict himself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So, other than these two minor comments which
miss their mark, Jager completely ignores the content of Dawsons book, and
instead goes on to list and quote extensively from documents that he regards as
supportive of the republic, but there is no attempt at any kind of analysis of
any of them. In relation to the first two articles that he lists he comments : <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“</i></span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><i>As a Kelly researcher, the direct mention of papers and
documents citing Kelly's plans cannot be overlooked on this subject.” </i> Indeed, but then Jager does overlook them, offering no further analysis of the origins or the reliability of these claims, something which Dawson most certainly does do. <i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">These two articles,
from 1945 and 1947 are not just mentioned but discussed carefully by Dawson,
who traces the origins of the claims in them, such as that ‘papers and
documents citing Kellys plans’ were taken from Ned Kellys pocket when he was
captured. He showed they are both linked to an article in the 1900 Bulletin
which was what Dawson describes as a spoof. To illustrate : imagine someone
wrote an article that was published in Spectator magazine proposing as a joke,
that Chopper Read could have been Australia’s first president under the
proposed republic. And suppose that years later someone saw that article but
failed to recognise that it was satire, and then wrote a piece on the plan to
install Chopper read as Australia’s first president. And then someone else
quoted that article, took it a little more seriously…and so on, till eventually
children were being told at school that Chopper Read was nearly Asutralias
first president. THAT is exactly how the Republic story began and those two
articles Jager mentions from 1945 and 1947 are examples of how later writers
had started to lose sight of the fact that the original article was a joke.
They started to write about the Republic as if it was true. Going forward,
Brown picked up on the speculation and then Jones, McQuilton and Molony went to
town on the idea and turned it into fully developed explanation which became accepted
as fact. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To refute Dawsons claims Jager needed to
address those arguments, not just point to those articles and pretend Dawson
hadn’t already taken them into account in his book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Next, Jager mentions an article from 1995 by
Phil Maguire that talks about the fabled ‘Declaration’ supposed to have been taken
from Ned Kellys pocket at Glenrowan and seen by Len Radic in 1962 in London. As
a Kelly researcher, Jager ought to already have known that the original claim
about documents taken from Neds pocket at capture, was a report of a ‘rumour’ –
about letters and a notebook. It was nothing more than a rumour and yet from
this ‘rumour’ all manner of totally baseless speculation has emerged about what the letters were,
including speculation that one of them was a republican declaration. But here
are the facts : that claim is speculation about a rumour! – there is absolutely
zero evidence to support that claim. Its quite possible this rumour was
baseless and nothing at all was taken from Ned Kellys pocket. But if something
was taken, nobody has any idea what it was. This article by Maguire, and the role of
Len Radic in the Kelly republic is extensively detailed in Dawsons book. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jagers response to the book should have been a
response to the arguments Dawson made in it about the article and about Radic. Simply
reposting the Maguire article and not addressing Dawsons remarks about it is
pointless. Recycling speculation about a rumour is not ‘research’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Jager <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>next provides a link to a speech about the
Kelly republic given by John Phillips former Chief Justice of Victoria. Again,
there is no commentary, and certainly no mention of the fact that in his book, Dawson
examines all Phillips’ claims, and answers them in great detail. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Lastly, Jager lists a number of phrases plucked
out of the Jerilderie letter and from a couple of letters written by an
anonymous ‘Lady’ and speculates that these <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“</i></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">are clues to the existence of
Kelly's Republic/Rebellion”. </span></i><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It is of course a
long bow to draw, given that none of them actually mention a republic, and
neither did Ned Kelly. In fact nobody then or for many decades afterwards
saw what Jager sees in those same words, and Jim Kelly, Thomas Lloyd, James
Ryan and J J Kenneally all believed that the Kelly story without a Republic chapter
was the ‘complete’ story. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">To the people who
praised Steve Jagers research, and to Steve Jager himself, I say it <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was a commendable effort, but there’s a lot
more to research than just posting a list of other peoples claims and opinions.
Real research requires tracking down of every one of those claims, not just a section of them, and careful analysis of them; it requires tracing claims
back to their sources, looking for every possible relevant piece of evidence, and
it requires a rational and logical discussion and conclusions. And when it comes
to the Kelly republic myth, that’s exactly what Stuart Dawson has done. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I
wrote on Facebook that last week was going to be a massive week for the Kelly World,
and it turned out to be even bigger than I was expecting, with the release of the
second of <a href="https://www.connorcourtpublishing.com.au/Doug-Morrissey_bymfg_76-0-1.html" target="_blank">Doug Morrissey’s works</a> about the Kelly outbreak a few days ago. My
copy hasn’t arrived yet but once it does and I’ve had<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>time to read it I will post my review of it
here. If anyone else reads it and wants to write a review for posting here that
would be most welcome.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The
least momentous of the events on the Kelly Calendar in the last week was the
Siege Dinner last Saturday night, which came and went without a murmur. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was amazed to learn afterwards that Grantlee
Kieza spoke at the dinner but this hadn’t been mentioned anywhere beforehand
which makes no sense at all. Why <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a
fund-raiser and NK Centre promotor Joanne Griffiths wouldn’t <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>advertise her star attraction is weird – more people
would have come, more funds would have<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>been raised…. A week later, there are still no reports on the NK Center Facebook
page about what happened, and the Ned Kelly Center <a href="https://www.nedkellycentre.org.au/" target="_blank">website </a>is still a blank
page “Under Construction. In fact, I think its pretty obvious she realises her
only hope is to extract funding from the public purse. These ‘fund raisers’ and
the ‘petition’ are just stunts aimed at local and state governments in the hope
they will be persuaded to hand over millions of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>public dollars to her NK Center. God forbid!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">This
massive Kelly week <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>actually got under
way a couple of days before the siege dinner, last Thursday, June 28<sup>th</sup>
with an announcement that Matthew Holmes the movie director was launching a
project to make a movie called “Glenrowan”. About a year before he had attempted
to crowd-fund a movie they were going to call “The Legend of Ned Kelly”, but
were unsuccessful. Now they are saying that there is so much in the Kelly story
that it would be almost impossible to have done justice to it in one film so
instead he and Aidan Phelan have written a script that focusses just on the siege
at Glenrowan. Aidan Phelan invited readers to submit questions about the movie
on his Bushranger Facebook page – about the only place I am not banned from –
so I submitted four. Phelan answered them all very intelligently and I was most
especially interested to learn that the Glenrowan movie will NOT mention the Kelly
Republic of North east Victoria. Phelan says <a href="https://aguidetoaustralianbushranging.wordpress.com/2018/07/04/glenrowan-q-a/" target="_blank">HERE</a> “There is no tangible evidence
that we can point to as proof of the concept, only anecdotal evidence that can’t
be verified at this stage, and oral histories. No doubt this will upset a lot
of ‘kelly-ites’ and will cause a lot of anti-kelly commentators to pat themselves
on the back but it all comes down to our dedication to providing the facts of
the story” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well said Aidan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I
also asked if they would depict the bullying and humiliation that I wrote about
on the Blog a couple of weeks ago, of eighteen-year-old John Delaney.
Disappointingly, Phelan says that after initially including it, they later
dropped that scene due to time constraints, but remarked that it was “a really
fantastic moment narratively and historically because it really will cause the
audience to question their opinions of Ned, and that’s what the whole film is
about, Its about questioning the accepted version of things” So, wouldn't it be better to leave it in?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But you could have knocked me over with a feather! This is a dramatic turnaround
from a year ago when I was blocked from their website for asking questions. This
year they are not only accepting questions from me but answering them. And the
answers are very encouraging. However I would urge them to put the Delaney scene
back in and not waste too much time on things like hop-skip-jump competitions
and more scenes than are necessary showing wood splintering under police fire,
and bottles shattering on shelves as the hostages scream and cower on the floor,
as in The Last Outlaw. The indications are that if they stick to the facts as
they say they will, this could be a very violent film. Phelan was most emphatic
that Aaron Sherrits murder will be part of the movie, and I have no doubt they
will show in great detail every death at the Inn, Neds every wound, Hare
collapsing from blood lost from his shattered wrist, Joe Byrnes body strung up,
the burned corpses of Steve and Dan…. And will it end with a hanging? It will
be a couple of years before we find out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The
most important announcement last week for the Kelly world, by a country mile,
was of course the release of Stuart Dawsons book, Ned Kelly and the Myth of a Republic
of North east Victoria. Morrissey’s book will set you back about forty bucks
but Dawson, in an act of incredible generosity is giving away the results of
several years of intense research for absolutely nothing. The free PDF can be downloaded
from <a href="http://www.ironicon.com.au/ned-kelly-republic-myth.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a> and so nobody who claims to be interested in Kelly history has any
excuse for not printing it off and reading it. Its an absolute landmark Kelly publication.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Predictably, the Kelly FB sites are
almost completely silent about it - they’re all more interested in the movie that’s
two years away - but no-body seems to have noticed the fact that their movie is
going to back up Dawson’s conclusion, that their beloved Kelly Republic is a
myth – that’s why it won’t be in the movie.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt;">An
article about Dawson’s free book appeared in the <a href="https://www.bordermail.com.au/story/5495768/split-over-ned-kellys-motivation/" target="_blank">Border Mail</a>. They say all publicity
is good publicity so at least readers will know that Dawson’s book is out
there, but I thought the article was typical tabloid trash, the lowest quality
of journalism. The fact the book is available on the internet for free wasn’t mentioned
and yet that is surely a major point of difference between that Kelly work and every other one that’s ever been created? I suppose the</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt;">writer was concerned that if he mentioned
Dawsons book was available for free people might read it. Instead the lazy journalist
tried to turn the debate into an attack on Ian Jones, a beloved figure in the
north-east. Dawson rightly declined an interview, trying to avoid the
journalists attempt to focus on personalities rather than the actual arguments
and evidence presented in the book. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt;">But
that wasn’t good enough for the hack who then gave Ian Jones and Matt Shore most
of the column inches to attack Dawson’s book even though both of these people hadn’t
ever read it. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt;">What a ridiculous joke!
How on earth can the opinions of people who have never even seen a work be
relevant in an article about it?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Imagine
a reviewer saying I’ve never seen this movie, this Art exhibition, this play, I’ve
never driven this new car, eaten at this new restaurant, heard this new album –
but I’ll <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>speak from a position of
complete ignorance and tell you what I think of it! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So
what did these commentators have to say? Ian Jones went for Dawsons throat, as
he has done in the past when other authors have published stuff he doesn’t agree
with, questioning his motives, and resorting to patronising sarcasm “…they have
to say it doesn’t exist because obviously they are so bright if it did exist
they would know about it” He also mentioned arguments for the republic that are
directly and fully addressed in the book. If Jones had read them he may well have been speechless.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Matt
Shore said he had spoken to a man who claims to have seen the Republic Declaration
but he wouldn’t go public because “he would be treated akin to somebody that
believes in UFOs”. Exactly! People who make claims without evidence can be dismissed
without evidence. No credibility needs to be attached to it. Read the book Matt and you will see what I mean. As a Kelly history custodian your view of the book is worth hearing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">What
SHOULD have happened is that once the journalist discovered both his sources hadn’t
read the book, if they weren’t prepared to say “let me read it first”, he
should have said “get back to me when you have”. Then you might have seen a quality
piece of journalism. Instead we got rubbish.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Modern
Kelly supporters are having a big struggle even imagining a Kelly story without
a Republic – but here’s the interesting thing: for the majority of its life, there
was no Republic myth in the Kelly story. Jim Kelly and Tom Lloyd and James Ryan
supported Kelly but didn’t know anything about a Republic. JJ Kenneally had no
trouble hailing Kelly as a hero without a republic myth. Same with Clune and
Brown, Osbourne, Graham Jones and other Kelly writers down the years. None of
them believed in a Republic. The important fact that Dawson has proven in his book,
is that the Kelly republic idea has only been a serious part of the Kelly story for maybe 40 of the last 140 years, a very recent ‘add-on’ to the Kelly story, an attractive
and clever embellishment that enhances the story and redeems the horrors of Glenrowan
– but it’s an unhistorical artefact, a motivation and a plan that was never
real, it wasn’t ever a part of the outbreak.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So
Kelly followers, the good news is that history shows that you can safely accept
the facts, the logic and the arguments of Dawson’s book that the Kelly republic
is a Kelly Myth, not believe in the Republic and yet still be a sympathiser
-<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>just like most of the sympathisers who
have gone before you. There are still plenty of reasons for you to continue to be
fascinated by the Kelly story, but now you can safely dump the Republic and be
more like the original, old-time Kelly sympathiser! Clinging to the republic
myth, from now on, will be seen as akin to believing in UFO’s. Wacky!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">On the back cover of a recently
published “Kelly” book, the reader is asked “Did you know that Ned Kelly was
planning a republic of north-east Victoria?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The suggestion that Ned Kelly
was ‘planning a republic of north east Victoria’ has been examined and
discussed several times on this blog, the first time being on Australia Day
2015 before the Blog was even a year old, and when I was still familiarizing
myself with the detail of the Kelly story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What I noticed back then, exploring the republic idea for the first time
was that despite being famous for his voluminous writings and his incessant
speech-making to hostages, to Magistrates, Judges, prison guards, doctors,
friends and enemies alike, Ned Kelly himself never once uttered even one single
word about a republic of north east Victoria, ever. Not one word! If he had, it
would have been remembered. It’s a big idea.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But Ned Kelly wasn’t the only
person who never said anything about a Kelly republic of north east Victoria.
Every single other person involved in the Outbreak ALSO never said anything
about a republic, not gang members, extended family members, friends and
sympathisers, spies who infiltrated the gangs support network, magistrates,
policemen, prison guards, Royal Commissioners, Commission witnssses, men,
women, children….NOBODY, as far<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>as its
humanly possible to know, not one person in the entire nineteenth century EVER
said a single word to anyone about a Kelly republic of north east Victoria.Not
one word!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But there’s more!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In 1929 JJKenneally, a noted
Kelly sympathiser published his famous work ‘The Complete<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Inner History of the Kelly Gang’. Its
regarded as a landmark. Kenneally wrote in the introduction “The information
necessary to enable me to write “The Inner History of the Kelly Gang’ was
willingly supplied by members of the Kelly family and those relatives who were
actively engaged in protecting their kith and kin from being betrayed for blood
money by their enemies. The provedore (Tom Lloyd, first cousin of Ned Kelly)
was the chief scout and confidential assistant to the Kellys and he was the
only living person who was able to give me, in detail, their policy, programme
and actual performances’<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So here we have a claim to have
been privy to the ‘inner history’ of the gang, to have been informed by the man
widely regarded to have been effectively the fifth member of the Gang, and by
the “Kelly family’ itself. Kenneally said he was provided with information ‘in
detail’ about the gang’s policy and programme – and what did Kenneally learn
about a republic of north east Victoria? Not one single thing. He called his
book “The COMPLETE Inner history…” and it contained not one word about a
republic of north east Victoria. Nothing! Not one word!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Ned Kellys brother Jim wrote to
Kenneally and said "Through your book the people of Australia are in full
possession of the truth" No mention of a republic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">James Ryan, a cousin of Ned
Kelly also wrote to Mr Kenneally and he said "Your book is indeed
complete". Again, no mention of a republic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Those long echoing decades of
silence about a republic are a massive problem that modern Kelly<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Republic supporters needed to have explained before
anything else if they wanted the Kelly republic to be taken seriously. But they never have. What that
fifty years of silence suggests<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>more
than anything else is that the republic of north east Victoria is a modern-day
invention. The only possible alternative explanation leaves the Kelly Republic on life
support supplied by a giant conspiracy theory, an impossibly vast and perfectly
impervious cone of silence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No such
thing has ever existed in human history.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The significance of the claims
for a Kelly republic cannot be overstated - the republic has been made the
absolutely essential core of the entire Outbreak, the justification and the
inspiration for everything, and in particular the planned massacre at
Glenrowan. The foremost of all Kelly authors, Ian Jones declared that “The
Glenrowan campaign is inexplicable without the central carefully obscured fact
of the republic”. At another place Jones described the Glenrowan Campaign as
‘madness’ unless it was part of a fight to establish some sort of new political
order – he went so far as to say that if Glenrowan wasn’t ‘an act of war’, then
it would be ‘simply mass murder’. And yet, if we are to believe proponents of
the theory, at the time the establishment of a republic was being planned and
carried out, nobody ever mentioned it to anyone . Not once. Ever!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Without the republic, Glenrowan
was just madness, mass murder, and pure criminality, and Ned Kelly can no
longer be promoted as a revolutionary hero making a stand against injustice but
a wannabe mass police killer, a mere criminal. Those are the alternatives
offered not by me but by Ian Jones himself. Without the republic, Jones said
Glenrowan was just a mad plan for mass murder. So what was it really: a mad
plan for mass murder or an attempt at a republic of north-east Victoria? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Well, I have ground-breaking
news for everyone interested in the truth about the Kelly outbreak. This week,
just in time for the Glenrowan Siege Memorial Dinner, and for the announcement
yesterday of a new movie that will 'show you everything' about Glenrowan, the
mystery of the republic of north east Victoria has been fully and finally
resolved. This week, the results of the latest long awaited and much
anticipated research on the Republic has been released by Stuart Dawson, the
leading Kelly academic from Monash University. In brief, the republic is dead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Dawson has already published
the results of his enquiries into several other important Kelly controversies,
the most important one being his work on the ‘Fitzpatrick incident’. He also
examined the arguments about Kellys last words – they were not ‘such is life’
-<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and he showed that the eye injury
sustained by George Metcalf at Glenrowan was not caused by a police bullet but
by one accidentally fired by Ned Kelly before the siege had even started.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Dawson’s latest publication is
‘Ned Kelly and the Myth of a Republic of North-Eastern Victoria”, and once
again he has made it freely available as a PDF that can be downloaded <a href="http://www.ironicon.com.au/ned-kelly-republic-myth.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a>.
This latest work however, is without doubt his most important, because it deals
with the most important claim ever made about Kelly, what Ian Jones said was
the “central…fact” about the siege at Glenrowan, that it was an attempt by Ned
Kelly to establish a republic. If true, that would mean Kelly was some sort of
political visionary, a leader and a martyred revolutionary hero. But if not,
even Ian Jones concedes he must have been a mad criminal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">What Dawson has done is look in
detail at every shred of evidence, every argument and every claim about the
Republic that has ever been made.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
is not an argument based on cherry-picked evidence to suit a predetermined outcome
but a thorough examination of every argument and every piece of evidence and
every claim thats ever been made in support of the republic. It’s a remarkable
achievement. There is not one claim or statement or mention by anyone relating
to the republic that Dawson hasn’t looked at in microscopic detail. There is
not one argument relating to the republic that Dawson hasn’t scrutinised
deeply. He has traced the modern-day claims about a Kelly republic back to
their roots, to their first ever mention. He has looked again at the claims
about the conditions that were supposed to have been the cause of republican
sentiment. He has looked at the claims about who the people were that were
supposed to have supported this plan. He has looked at the claims there were
secret meetings and records kept. He has looked at the claim that at Glenrowan
there was a sympathiser army waiting to join the battle. He has looked at what
arms they might have had. He has looked at the precise timeline of the events
at the Glenrowan siege. He has looked at the famous claim that an actual
Declaration was seen in a London museum. He has looked at the claim that this
declaration was found in Ned Kellys shirt-pocket when he was captured. And
more, much more. To say Dawson left no stone unturned would be an
understatement. The stones haven’t just been turned over they’ve been weighed,
measured, X-Rayed, photographed and catalogued, and the soil underneath them
has been sieved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The Bibliography lists 85 Kelly

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In the light of the exhaustive
nature of his enquiry, Dawsons conclusions about the Kelly<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>republic of North-east Victoria are both
devastating and inescapable. Dawson has confirmed once and for all that the
Kelly republic is indeed a 20th century invention , an idea that was never in
the mind of Kelly himself or anyone else in his world. It will now no longer be
sensible for anyone to continue to promote the idea, include it in books or
films, or postulate that Ned Kelly was a revolutionary hero. From now on it
will be as sensible to claim that 'Ned Kelly was planning a republic of
north-east Victoria' as it would be to claim, as was once asserted and believed
to probably be true, that in the middle of Australia there is a vast inland sea
inhabited by creatures as yet unknown. Nobody advances the arguments for an
inland sea anymore because they have been disproven : now it’s the same with
the kelly republic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Given that the book has been
made available for download for nothing, nobody who claims to be interested in
the Kelly story has any excuse for not reading it. But be warned – though its
only 65 pages long, the writing is so detailed and the arguments so condensed,
its not a book that can be lightly skimmed over – it requires close and careful
study.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There will of course be people
whose beliefs are not founded on, or affected by facts, logic and reason, and to maintain their dogma about a Republic they will have to retreat into blind faith, and probably declarations based on
their family tradition and handed down oral history. This is the quality of
'evidence' that’s given us several Steve Harts and Dan Kellys that survived the
siege, impossibly huge numbers of peoples great-grandfathers who happened to be
hanging around the Euroa Bank when the Kelly Gang robbed it, even the furphy
that John Monash held the reins of Ned Kellys horse when he was robbing the
bank at Jerilderie and was rewarded with a shilling. Anyone who wants to claim
the low quality evidence of oral history as evidence for the republic will
first have to explain why their great-grandfathers knew something about the
Gang that J.J.Kenneally, Tom Lloyd, James Ryan and even Jim Kelly never knew. They won't be able to do it. They will be left with bare, baseless assertion. And as we know, anything asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">A constant theme <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in the Kelly literature, and in the stream of
comments on pro-Kelly Facebook pages is the corruption of Victorian police, and
their harassment of the Kelly clan. In fact this claim about police harassment
and corruption is the core justification provided by the pro-kelly writers<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and Facebook page posters for Ned Kellys
entire criminal career. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><br />
One chapter in the Kelly saga that’s often pointed to as proof of this
corruption and harassment is the documented arrests and imprisonment on remand
of Kelly ‘sympathisers’ that began in early <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>January 1879. By this time, the Gang had
murdered three policemen and robbed the Bank at Euroa, and shortly after robbed
the bank at Jerilderie as well. They had been declared outlaws, and these
arrests were authorised by the newly legislated Felons Apprehension Act. The people
arrested are listed in McQuiltons “The Kelly Outbreak” – <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>there were twenty-three arrests in total but
police found it impossible to lay charges because nobody was prepared to
testify against any of them – out of fear! Six were released within three weeks,
and the last were released on April 22<sup>nd</sup> 1879. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Ian Jones and McQuilton regard
this saga as a Police blunder that played into Kellys hands and increased
support for the Gang. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Indeed, the newspaper
Editorials which had initially supported the arrests soon changed their tune
and opposed them, and called the situation a ‘farce’. However, Doug Morrissey says
Jones and McQuilton have read much more into this disquiet than is supported by
the facts. Morrissey has argued that sympathy for the men in custody was not at
all sympathy for the Gang: <i>“Rather, respectable people were disturbed at the
flouting of the hallowed British principle of ‘habeas corpus’, which required
that a person under arrest be brought promptly to court to face his or her
accuser and that the case against them be produced”</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I turned to Trove to read the
Report from the Beechworth Court, printed in the local newspaper The Ovens and
Murray Advertiser, April 24<sup>th</sup> 1879 (<a href="https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/199688818?browse=ndp%3Abrowse%2Ftitle%2FO%2Ftitle%2F326%2F1879%2F04%2F24%2Fpage%2F21836188%2Farticle%2F199688818" target="_blank">HERE</a> if you want to read it yourself)
What you can’t help noticing is Police Magistrate W H Fosters determination to
be fair and to follow the law and his conscience, which of course is the exact opposite
of what you would expect to see if the Kelly fanatics beliefs about police
corruption and harassment were based on fact. His dealing with ‘Wild” Wright
was also humane and decent, without a hint of persecution or a vendetta against
a known Kelly supporter, even after Wright had insulted and abused him at earlier
hearings. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

your fellow prisoners have been discharged and I propose to discharge you also.
Several weeks since you, when in that dock, were foolish enough and cowardly
enough to threaten me: Foolish, because what you said could but prejudice your
position ; as a coward, because you attempted to intimidate me when simply
doing my duty, and that a very unpleasant one. My acts were official ones, and
done in the interest of society, and it was a cowardly thing to make them the
subject of personal enmity. It has been the subject of serious reflection with
me, whether I ought not to place you under substantial bonds to keep the peace
; but this would probably cause your return to gaol, where you have so long
been, and trusting that the words were uttered in the heat of the moment, and
that there is no ulterior intention of wrong, I discharge you’<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

look at the evidence, it completely fails to support the Kelly mythology. So
once again, no police corruption, no harassment – in fact, the opposite :
adherence to the Law and humane application of it to known Kelly supporters</span><!--EndFragment-->

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The “Ned Kelly Siege
Dinner” is to be held in two weeks’ time at Glenrowan. Ive already written my
thoughts about it <a href="http://kellylegend.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-hero-at-glenrowan-wasnt-ned-kelly.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. The question I asked then, and still haven’t had an
answer to, is what on earth are you going to be celebrating? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Ive been much too
busy this week to do any serious reading for the blog, but I am going to bring
to the notice of Siege Dinner attendees one of the incidents that took place
during the siege so they can think about it as they listen to the live music
from Damien Howards new CD “Ned”. In one of his songs you might hear Ned Kelly say
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“I’m not the one who started this fight”</i>
and<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> “Authorities heavy hand turned me to
crime</i>”. I’m sure you all know Kelly was lying when he said that!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But the incident I
want you to specially recall is what happened during the siege to eighteen-year-old
John Delaney, one of the hostages imprisoned inside the Ann Jones Inn. I want you
to think about the kind of person who would subject this young man to such a
tirade of abuse and threats and bullying, to such devastating public
humiliation over half an hour or more, that the poor fellow was reduced to a
weeping wreck, believing he was about to be shot in the head, murdered. I want
you to ask yourselves as you commemorate the Siege and the ‘heroic’ last stand
of its creator, how you would have felt if it was your own son being subjected
to this vile abuse, and if you really feel so great about celebrating someone
who amused himself by such things as pushing the barrel of a loaded gun into an old mans mouth at Euroa, and by bullying a kid by putting a loaded gun to his head? Frankly I would be embarrassed to be toasting such a person.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that not only had John Delaney’s father , the Greta blacksmith sold a horse to
the Victoria Police Force, but young John himself had recently done a favour for
a policeman and infinitely worse, even tried to join the Victoria Police.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Well in Neds book this is a crime punishable by death, and he is just the
man to do it. Pointing his revolver at the terrified young man who has tears
running down his cheeks and onto his shirt Ned says to all who are listening
that he would personally ‘have the life of anyone who aided the police in any
way or even showed a friendly feeling for them.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">As Ned continues his haranguing alternately pointing the revolver at the
weeping young mans head and then putting it down again, many of the women in
the crowd plead with the bushranger to spare his life. Just what is about to
happen now no one is sure but finally after young Delaney faithfully promises
that he will never again try to join the police force Neds play at being a cold-blooded
murderer comes to an end.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Typically, this
unsavoury act is glossed over or ignored by most Kelly writers, who concentrate
on the fact that at the Royal Commission, Thomas Curnow who was a witness to
this bullying, expressed a view that even though he was convinced at the time,
as Delaney was that Kellys threats were real, later, on reflection he decided
it was “a ruse” :<o:p></o:p></span></div>

it was <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>an act of despicable cowardice,
of bullying and mental torture that demonstrates again the way in which the
mind and personality of a psychopath works. For women, like Mrs Scott at Euroa,
Ned wore a veneer of smiles, flattering charm and exaggerated deference to gain
control. Here, he used fear and threats of violence against an innocent youth. In
both cases he would have greatly enjoyed himself and couldn’t have cared less
about the feelings of his victims. Such is a psychopath. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I wonder if Ben Head
and Ben Thompson realised what they were getting themselves into when they
decided to attempt a movie about what happened to a party of four police at
Stringybark Creek in 1878. I wonder if they realised that saying they were
going to tell the story from <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘the police perspective’</i>
would make them the targets of the blind police–hating Kelly mafia that patrols
cyberspace defending their fond fairy tales about the murderous psychopath Ned
Kelly?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Almost every word in
this two sentence post is either abuse or factually wrong – corrupt coppers? – Fitzpatrick
a drunk alcoholic and womaniser? – and yet it was “Liked” by six people, one of whom was a prominent contributor of opinions to Iron Outlaw. What I
thought was specially revealing, and sad, was that this ignorant hateful
outburst was ‘Liked’ by Matthew Holmes, the film maker who last year attempted
to crowdfund a Kelly movie that he claimed was going to be historically
accurate, free of opinion and based on the evidence. His ‘Like’ of such a rotten
post betrays the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>truth about what he thinks
the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>true story is, and confirms my
suspicions from last year about the sort of ‘true story’ he was hoping to make.
His commitment to the Kelly fables seems to be greater than his commitment to truth
or to the craft of movie making. Other posts in that thread were equally
abusive and just as inaccurate but no attempt was made by Phelan to correct any
of it or defend these students against such bullying. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">But I am here to
defend what they are going to try and do, which, according to their video is to
tell the true story about what happened at SBC for the first time. I have no
inside information to share about exactly what they are planning to do – Ive no
idea – but I don’t think they should be saying they are going to tell the story
from the ‘police perspective’ – I think they should just say they are going to
be telling the true story of what happened. Saying they are going to tell it
from ‘<i>the police perspective’ </i>might suggest to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>some that there is also an equally valid ‘Kelly’ perspective – but as I
will argue, an equally valid ‘kelly’ perspective simply doesn't exist. But talking about
the story from ‘the police perspective’ <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>plays
into the hands of the Kelly mythmakers who for years have been peddling this
false dichotomy of ‘Kelly perspective vs police perspective’, ‘hero<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>vs villain’ as if they are equally valid choices - they are NOT, and this tactic is designed to confuse the discussions and
maintain a feeble viability to their defence of Ned Kelly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The point that needs to
be understood is this : I am not saying that there is no such thing as a Kelly
perspective – of course there is a Kelly perspective – its in the Jerilderie
letter, and many other places, and the pro-Kelly bloggers and writers and
commentators express it all the time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But think of this analogy : the people who
believe the moon landings were faked have a perspective, and so do the people
whose perspective is that the moon landings actually happened – but no
reasonable person is ever <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>going to say
they are EQUALLY VALID perspectives, that there is an equivalence between the
arguments for the landings being faked and being real. On the one hand there are
the conspiracy theories and fake ‘facts’ about the ‘faked’ moon landings, and
on the other the actual facts, the tons of hard <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>evidence and the documentation that shows that
what actually happened was that men landed and walked on the moon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Equally, we have the ‘police perspective’ which, to put it simply is the true story about what happened, and up against it there is the so-called Kelly perspective. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">What actually happened
was that Ned Kellys only experience of armed hold-ups<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to that point was of innocent ordinary people
on the road with Harry Power. He foolishly imagined he could bail up armed trained police
and they would behave like frightened travellers. Going to the police camp was about the dumbest thing Kelly ever decided to do. And the instant police didn't react the way he imagined they would ? - the only option left to him was to shoot Lonigan almost exactly where he stood, with a load of swan-drops. Ned
Kellys claim that Lonigan got behind a pile of logs and came up from behind them
to shoot at him is bollocks as was brilliantly illustrated in the Lawless movie
last year. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
Why Kelly lingered on at the camp, thinking he might have better luck in
disarming Scanlan and Kennedy when they returned is something we will never know. Despite his botched attempt to disarm two men that ended up with one killed, he stupidly decided to try again even though he had already acquired two extra revolvers, a shotgun and any ammunition the
police had bought with them, two horses and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>any other police supplies that they wanted. Why wasn't that enough? It
makes almost no sense to wait around risking another confrontation in the hope
they might get two more revolvers and a rifle -<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>but then, why would we expect sense<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>from a psychopath? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%;">My hope is that Ben
Head and his crew will demonstrate that Ned Kelly forever lied about the murder of Lonigan, who was out in
the open when he was shot, as Ive described elsewhere on this Blog, that he will show Scanlons death
as being a cold blooded murder and not a gunfight, and that he will show
Kennedys murder as a mob killing, four armed men chasing down a single fleeing,
soon to be wounded policeman, a decent catholic Irishman with a loving wife and
children. I hope Ben Head will show the Kelly gang robbing the dead bodies of the
police, vision of a revolting <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>act of disrespect
that <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>exposes another Kelly lie – that they
showed respect for the police by covering Kennedys corpse with a cape. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Kelly Facebook page where they have had a very brief discussion about an
undated essay by John McQuilton <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">: Ned
Kelly and the curious case of Susan Scott.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There’s a few likes and the obligatory attacks on me, but apart from the
suggestion that Mrs Scott had ‘a little thing’ for Ned Kelly, the article goes
through to the keeper with nothing but furious agreement with its claims about Mrs
Scott. Its the classic echo-chamber response: “a good read” says one and “ a
very good and well balanced article” says another.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

positive words about Ned Kelly should be taken seriously.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

judgements have weight because of her middle-class status, her position in
society as the wife of a bank manager and mother of seven. They think that no
matter how many wise judges, commentators, writers thinkers and just plain
everyday people think that Ned Kelly was a murderous and hatful criminal, the
fact that Mrs Scott liked him shows they’re all wrong. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="background: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "\.SFNSText-Regular"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

an alternative view about that article and about Mrs Scott, though it is really
just an elaboration of the suggestion made on that FB page that Mrs Scott <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“had a little thing” </i>for Ned Kelly. My
thoughts are not directed at the inhabitants of the echo-chamber but to anyone
outside it who might have had even a fleeting doubt about John McQuiltons <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>or his supporters’ opinions of Mrs Scotts
behaviour.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

recounts the response of Mrs Susy Scott to being held up at gunpoint when the
Kelly Gang robbed the Bank at Euroa in December 1878. Suzy Scott was the wife
of the Bank Manager. He bravely refused to give Ned Kelly the keys to the safe,
saying <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“You have come here to take what
you wanted not have it given to you, and I will not give to anyone what has
been entrusted to my care”<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

Hart points two loaded and cocked revolvers at his temples, and he is marched
across to his residence, where Mrs Scott and her mother and her children were
about to take the baby for a walk. Her son George bursts into tears asking <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Are we all to be shot?”</i> and her nanny
screams and faints twice. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At gunpoint Mr
Scott still refuses to hand over the keys but Mrs Scott ignores his
stonewalling, finds them and hands them over, an act Peter Fitzsimons says was
motivated by a desire to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘put the safety
of her children all else</i>’. Mrs Scott says the nanny is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘a silly woman’, </i>and to Ned Kelly <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“You are not that bloodthirsty villain you have been represented to be”<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

itself to the contents of the safe, and once that’s done forces the whole
household into a buggy and drives them out of town to prevent them from raising
the alarm. They are all taken to the Faithfulls Creek Station where Joe Byrne
has been guarding the imprisoned Station staff. Eventually, the Gang rides off
after taking Scotts watch and warning their 37 prisoners not to leave for three
hours, Ned Kelly having told the most senior man there, Mr Macauley that if
anyone does leave early, Kelly will hold Macauley personally responsible and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘then you may consider yourself a dead man’</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

and writers like Jones and Fitzsimons hail this robbery as a marvel of criminal
perfection, and make much of the trick horse-riding and the fact that nobody
was hurt, that the Gang charmed everyone it encountered, and the hostages were
given food and drink. But nobody should overlook the fact that the robbery was
accompanied by constant threats of violence and the brandishing of loaded guns,
but even more importantly, and undoubtedly still fresh in the minds of every
hostage was the chilling fact that barely six weeks earlier, at nearby
Stringybark Creek this same Gang had slaughtered three policemen. Why would any
rational person do anything other than exactly what the Gang demanded,
especially once it was apparent their intention was only to rob the bank? Why
would anyone risk their life defending someone else’s money? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

doubt what prompted John McQuilton to describe the interactions between Ned
Kelly and Mrs Scott as ‘curious’, not that assisting the robbers by locating
the key to the Bank safe was especially ‘curious’ – it makes sense in the
context of her alleged desire to protect her family from harm, as do her
reported remarks to Ned Kelly when he first arrived that he was not the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“bloodthirsty villain he had been
represented to be”</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

seem a little curious is that when advised she was about to be taken away as a hostage
along with the rest of the family, Mrs Scott retired to her room to change into
something quite extravagant and glamorous, a newly purchased French dress set
off with a large hat covered with flowers and tulle, and a pair of long white
gloves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Scott eventually revealed was that her willingness to assist Ned Kelly, her
flattery of him, and her decision to dress-to-impress arose from a state of
mind akin to some sort of infatuation with the tall dark handsome bushranger,
that left her over-awed and breathless in his presence. It was not all done to
simply protect her family because if that’s all it was, after it was all over
she wouldn’t have written the following in Ned Kellys defence: <o:p></o:p></span></div>

to control men and circumstances. His management of the Euroa affair was good,
and he seemed to consider everything and he knew exactly what to do for the
best. He would have made a magnificent General and would have done much better
as a soldier than a bushranger. He was a good son and I believe a good brother.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

that she was completely bowled over by Ned Kellys appearance and his charm, his
way with words, his bravado and his bold personality, which of course was
precisely what Kelly intended to happen, applying the skill he had been
bewitching people with for years to a bored middle-class housewife. As a
result, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Susy Scott’s judgement and her
moral compass was so completely disorientated that she happily humiliated her
own brave husband by co-operating with the Gang and flirting with Ned Kelly;
her thought processes and reasoning were so scrambled that she ignored the
direct threats Kelly made that she and her children might be harmed if Kelly
didn’t get what he wanted, she forgot about the wives and children of Kennedy
and Lonigan , newly made widows thanks to the violence of the ‘personality’ in
front of her, and she ignored what no doubt she would have later heard about
the violent threats made to various individuals out at the Station. What did
she think of Ned Kellys boastful display to his hostages at the Station of the
gold watch he stole off Kennedy after murdering him? What did she think of Ned Kelly
shoving his loaded revolver into the mouth of someone who dared defy him when
he first arrived? Were these the expressions of the ‘personality’ she seemed to
have such regard for? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Kellys ‘personality’ was the typical shallow manipulative and uncaring charm of
a psychopath and Mrs Scott fell for it hook line and sinker. Kelly made a
complete fool of Mrs Scott, flattering her to get what he wanted from her with
a smile, the same day he had threated harm to her husband and children, and
stuffed a loaded gun into an innocent old man’s mouth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Mrs Scott and Ned Kelly is an almost text book example of the power that
psychopaths can have over vulnerable people. For McQuilton to suggest that it
says something positive about Mrs Scott or about Ned Kelly is to completely misread
the situation, as is evidenced by his last and most ridiculous sentence : <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“She was inclined thereafter to compare rude
people unfavourably with her ‘Mr Kelly’.”<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

worse than a flattering mass murderer, liar, robber and violent thug? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Kelly sympathisers to
this day regard that claim as a core truth of the Kelly legend, and believe it
explains and justifies everything Ned Kelly said and did. They believe that the
Kelly clan was persecuted and harassed for no good reason, that they were
otherwise more or less law-abiding poor Irish farmers who were victimised by
police. There are however a couple of very important problems with that belief –
the first being that those were not actually Ned Kellys words, but the words
put in his mouth for the Interview, by his Solicitor David Gaunson, who wrote
the entire news article. The Interview was fake. Nonetheless, it could be
claimed, as Ian Jones has, that those words accurately reflect the spirit of
what Ned Kelly believed. So, let’s agree with Ian Jones that Ned Kelly did
actually believe that the police were to blame for the Kelly outbreak. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The second problem is
that even if we agree that those words reflect accurately what Ned Kelly believed,
that doesn’t make them true. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Believing something
to be true doesn’t make it so - some people believe the earth is flat. Others
believe they have been experimented on by Alien visitors. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In the last few weeks
I’ve been posting the evidence that fatally undermines Ned Kellys idea that the
Kelly clan were unfairly harassed and picked on by police. Ive been showing the
side of the Kelly clan that Ian Jones and the other Kelly writers more or less
completely, and deliberately ignored, the evidence that shows the real reason
police took an interest in the Kelly clan. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I’ve
shown is that far from being innocent victims of police harassment, it was
horrendous recorded acts of Kelly clan violence and criminality that drew the
attention of the police to the clan. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So, for example, when
Ned Kellys Uncle John Lloyd cruelly slaughtered his selector neighbours horse
with an axe, police were called in to investigate the crime, and encountered
the Kelly clan. This wasn’t police harassment - it would have been negligent of
the police to have ignored this sickening act of animal cruelty.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">When Ned Kellys Uncle
Jimmy Quinn attacked John Page and left him with injuries that nearly killed
him and put him in hospital for three weeks, again, police were called in to
investigate the crime, and encountered the Kelly clan. This horrendous assault
was witnessed by Ned Kellys eleven-year-old sister who screamed out for help
and saved the poor man. This wasn’t police harassment - it would have been
negligent of the police to have ignored this horrendous assault.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">And when Ned Kellys drunk
uncle Jim Kelly burned down a house because <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Neds mother wouldn’t have sex with him, again police
were called in to investigate the crime, and yet again encountered the Kelly
clan. According to a witness it was lucky that thirteen children in the house weren’t
burned to death, but they and their mothers lost everything they owned. This wasn’t
police harassment – <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it would have been
negligent of the police to have ignored this dreadful crime.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">And when the once
again drunk Uncle Jimmy Quinn’s ‘cowards punch’ felled his own sister, leaving
her nose broken and her face disfigured for life because she intervened to
protect a 21 year old guest from his groping, yet again police were called in
to investigate the crime, and yet again they encountered the Kelly clan. This wasn’t
police harassment – <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it would have been
negligent of the police to have ignored this dreadful crime.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">So, in case after
that shocking litany of violence, and drunken abuse anyone is still inclined to
think that the police interest in the Kelly clan was harassment, persecution
and tyrannical conduct, here is yet another example of what police had to
confront in their dealings with the Kelly clan. This case concerns what Jimmy
Quinn did to a Mr William Skelton at the Greta races in October 1865. Ned Kelly
was ten years old by then, so no doubt would have heard about it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">What happened was
that a horse belonging to Jimmy’s brother John Quinn was led out of a stable
because it was kicking out at William Skelton’s horse. Skelton maintained his
horses had been there first, so decided to remove John Quinns horse. An
argument developed and Johns brother James (Jimmy) and a man named Porter came
out of a nearby Pub and joined in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
witness under cross examination (Robert Mason) had this to say <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“After a few words James Quinn struck
Skelton in the chest; Porter and Skelton then caught hold of each other.
Skelton threw Porter and fell on top of him; James Kelly went and picked up a
bullock yoke and struck him on the top of the head….Skelton had not been
drinking nor was his conduct aggravating “</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Dr Joseph Henry
deposed<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> “I saw William Skelton in 1865 he
was suffering from wounds to the skull; dangerous ones which must have affected
his intellect….I think the injury must have been caused by the sharp point of a
blunt instrument.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Skelton told the
Court about what happened afterwards <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“For
a long time I did not have the use of my legs. Before receiving the blow my
memory was very good, It has since been very defective. Was taken to a doctor
at Benalla and subsequently to the Beechworth Hospital. About twelve months
after leaving the hospital went to England and remained there for four years;
when in England underwent an operation; a piece of bone was taken off my brain;
have been subject to fits ever since I received the blow; had no fits previous
to this time”<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Uncle Jimmy received two years for this shocking
assault, which Skelton was lucky to survive. However he was permanently brain
damaged and an epileptic in the days before epilepsy could be treated. In view
of this true story, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and all the other
true stories of Kelly clan drunken violence – of which there are still many
more - can anyone STILL believe Ned Kelly and his apologists complaint that the Kelly
clan was victimised by police? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri light"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 150%;">These stories show without any shadow of
doubt, that police interest in the Kelly clan came about by the clans own
violent, drunken criminal behaviour. It was not a campaign of harassment and
persecution but entirely correct responses to acts of criminality that included
arson, domestic violence, animal cruelty and murderous attacks on people who
got in their way.<br />
<br />
Kellys claim in the interview about police being the cause of all his troubles
is typical Ned Kelly : it was always someone else’s fault ; he never accepted responsibility
for the mess he made of everything, and his attempt to blame the police, and say
it was all their fault is complete nonsense.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you’re not only going to get fine (but hearty!) food and great local wine, but
entertainment from singer songwriter Damian Howard, a 'Hard Quiz' <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“prepared by historians which will challenge

Silent Auction will give you the chance to bid for bargain holidays, art works,

tempted to go myself if I lived nearby, and if I had a hundred bucks to spare
and if I didn’t think I would be lynched if I went! But I’d be hated even more

would like to know exactly what part of Ned Kellys last stand at Glenrowan is
worth a commemorative dinner, good food, wine and song?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The truth about the
“Last Stand” is that it was the place where Ned Kellys true character was fully
exposed and shown to be dark and as angry, ruthless and murderous as any of the
other known mass killers. Ned Kellys plan was no spur of the moment brain-snap
but a very deliberate and calculated scheme that was many months in the making,
and which very nearly succeeded. Glenrowan was an attempt to murder up to a
couple of dozen police by causing a train to derail at high speed. Ned Kelly
was so determined to do this that he made four suits of bullet–proof armour, murdered
a former friend, and then risked his own life, the lives of the other gang
members, and the lives of more than 60 hostages as well. This was a
monumentally violent and ruthless scheme that if successfully carried out would
have eternally embedded the name of Ned Kelly into the annals of history’s most
sickening killers,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>. There wouldn’t have
been one word of debate from any sane reasonable person about anything other
than that Ned Kelly was a monster. Absolutely no doubt about it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

commemorators is this: do you not realise that Ned Kelly is no less a monster just
because he was stopped from carrying out this plan? What is it that you want to
commemorate? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Calibri Light"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Maybe you are
planning on commemorating the claim that Glenrowan was the place where Ned
Kelly displayed the skills and strategic genius that would have made him a
brilliant military man. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If so, you need
to keep reading because that claim doesn’t withstand the slightest analysis. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To start with, the centrepiece of his
brilliant plan was the home-made armour – it turned out to be hopelessly
impractical – it was so heavy they could barely move in it, it was impossible
for the gang to use their rifles while wearing it, it greatly restricted their
vision and as Ned Kelly discovered to his horror, the unprotected legs left the
wearer fatally vulnerable. That was the supposed great Generals first blunder.
His next blunder was about poor Aaron Sherrit - everyone now accepts that Kelly
was wrong about him – he didn’t betray the Gang , but the deranged Kelly gang
killed him anyway, as police bait! Next, Kellys plan relied on word about Aaron
Sheritts murder getting quickly to Melbourne – so what did his ‘troops’ do?
After killing Sheritt they hung about his house for hours and hours taunting
and threatening the policemen trapped inside, so they didn’t emerge till the
next morning – blunder #3. Kellys plan relied on the railway line being ripped
up – but the tools he bought were the wrong ones and he and Steve Hart couldn’t
do it – dumb planning (#4) Kelly then woke up railway workers in tents nearby
thinking they would be able to rip up the tracks <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>– they couldn’t (#5). And neither could
Stanistreet, the Stationmaster they woke next (#6). Now, because his plan
required secrecy, he had to make hostages of everyone in the Ann Jones Inn, but
because he couldn’t keep his own boastful mouth shut Ned Kellys secret got out
(#7). Outsmarted by Thomas Curnow’s flattery, the vain Ned Kelly released the
brave Curnow (#8), who stopped the train by an act of bravery that’s
universally acknowledged.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

plan was in tatters, but at least no harm had been done, other than the
cold-blooded murder of Aaron Sherritt. A wise General would have considered a
hasty retreat with all his men, and lived to fight another day, but not Mr
Kelly. (#9) He chose to stay and shoot it out with police, against odds that
were so hopelessly impossible even Custer wouldn’t have thought about staying.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

hateful and ill-conceived plan, fortunately, was total failure for the Kelly
Gang. Not a single one of the gangs objectives was realised, but the Gang was
completely destroyed -<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ned Kellys own
brother and Steve Hart committed suicide, Joe Byrne was shot by police and bled
to death, Ned Kelly was captured and in a few months hanged, two innocent
hostages were killed, and Ann Jones livelihood was destroyed. The entire
incident was a horrendous and traumatic weekend of terror and death and injury,
a mesmerising horror show of drunken violence and chaos. Why on earth would anyone
want to commemorate that?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

shameful behaviour of the Kelly Gang, there was a hero at Glenrowan, and his bravery
certainly does deserve to be commemorated. One man with a conscience was brave
enough to stand up against wrong, and do whatever it took to stop the murder of
innocent people in a train crash : Thomas Curnow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There can be no mistake – what Curnow did
required extraordinary bravery, and he later admitted he expected to be killed
in the attempt, but even his own wife’s pleas couldn’t dissuade him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

state of the utmost terror and dread, and declared that both I and all
belonging to me would get shot if I persisted in going, and in securing the
safety of my wife, child and sister while being away time passed, and just as I
was about to start I heard the train coming in the distance. I immediately
caught up the scarf, candle and matches and ran down the line to meet the
train. On reaching a straight part of the line where those in the train would
be able to see the danger signal for some distance, I lit the candle and held
it behind the red scarf. While I was holding up the danger signal I was in
great fear of being shot before those in the train would be able to see the red
light, and of thus uselessly sacrificing my life."<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

hero of Glenrowan, and its about time his bravery was given the recognition
that it deserves. Compare his bravery, going alone and unarmed with only a
candle and a scarf, with the “bravery” of Ned Kelly, armed to the teeth after
weeks of target practice, enclosed in armour, protected by human shields, and a
member of a gang….an extraordinary comparison!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

shouldn’t be called the Ned Kelly siege dinner. Ned Kelly did nothing at Glenrowan
that any decent and fair-minded person would ever want to commemorate. Instead
it should be renamed the Thomas Curnow memorial Dinner. That would make it honourable,
because when it comes to Glenrowan, Thomas Curnow is the only person and his
were the only deeds that deserve commemoration. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
