The three were convicted on Fitzpatrick's evidence. McIntyre agreed, saying that he had thought about it for some time due to bad health. Fook then travelled to Benalla to give his account of what happened to Sergeant James Whelan, who was, according to fellow officers, "a perfect encyclopedia of knowledge" about the Kellys and their criminal activities. Kelly continues to cause division in his homeland: some celebrate him as Australia's equivalent of Robin Hood, while others regard him as a murderous villain undeserving of his folk hero status. [18], Kelly's first brush with the law occurred in mid-October 1869 over an altercation between him and a Chinese pig and fowl dealer from Morses Creek named Ah Fook. The delay was caused by the fact that the policemen in Sherritt's hut waited until daylight to emerge and give the alarm, and news of the murder did not reach Melbourne until Sunday afternoon. [5] Edward Kelly was his parents' third child,[6] named after Red's closest brother. Red Kelly had been a convict who had been sent to Van Diemen's Land in 1842 for stealing two pigs. [127] In the week leading up to the execution, thousands turned out at street rallies across Melbourne demanding a reprieve for Kelly, and on 8 November, a petition for clemency with over 32,000 signatures, some of which were of a suspicious nature, was presented to the governor's private secretary. He was visited by his mother who was in the same prison for wounding Constable Fitzpatrick. He was offered a brandy and lemonade which he refused, but later accepted one drink. [4] Soon after this, Ned was in trouble again. McCauley persuaded Gloster to surrender, and the pair joined the other prisoners in the storeroom. After subduing Kelly with the assistance of seven bystanders, Hall pistol-whipped him until his head became "a mass of raw and bleeding flesh".[20]. The outlaws gave a display of horse riding and tricks which entertained and surprised their hostages. He told McIntyre to leave the police force. Wright escaped arrest for the theft on 2 May following an "exchange of shots" with police, but was arrested the following day at the Kelly homestead and received eighteen months for stealing the horse. Soon after Wright departed, the mare was found by Gunn and a neighbour, William (Bricky) Williamson. [27] Kelly's words are colorful, rough and full of metaphors. It also told the story of the treatment of Irish Catholics by the police and the English and Irish Protestant farmers. McQuilton identified Kelly as the "social bandit" who was caught up in unresolved social contradictions—that is, the selector–squatter conflicts over land—and that Kelly gave the selectors the leadership they lacked. The Royal Commission found that Ned Kelly having retreated into the hotel after the first volley almost certainly walked out the back door for about 150 metres leading his horse.
