SKETCH OF NED KELLY.
Ned Kelly is thus described by a reporter who witnessed his capture :—“ He was dressed in the jaunty bushman style —yellow cord pants, strapped with slate-cross-barred pattern cloth ; riding-boots, with very thin soles, and very high heels indeed, white Crimean shirt, with large black spots ; waistcoat same material as trousers: hair jet black, inclined to curl ; reddish beard and moustache, and very heavy black eye-brows —altogether a fine figure of a man—the only bad part about his face being his mouth, which wicked and cruel one. When the doctor dressed his wounds he turned on his side and dozed off as calmly as if nothing had happened.”
