KELLY GOING TO TRIAL.
Kelly’s demeanor in the train going to Becchwortb was more extraordinary than af first reported. Ills hatred for Sergeant Steele was very marked. On the way up he sprang on him, and had to bo thrown down on tire seat by two constables. At Enroa he looked out of the train and pointed to a fence, saying, “ That’s were Steve Hart hung up his horse when he saw the d d policeman coming. The fool passed him, and Steve Hart said good day to him, but he did not drop to him.” At Glcnrowan Kelly told Sergeant Steele he would like to have him in the bush, ho Would shoot him, and also that while in the bush he made his own powder. With regard to the proceedings at Jones’s hotel he said he and Eyrnc started firing from the varandah, as Hart and Uan Kelly were too slow in coming. After the police had fired, they fired again from the chimney, and it was then that he was wounded. He then wont into the house, and searched under the bods for Brakon to shoot him but could not find him. Having done so, he walked out through the back door, and told Byrne be would break through the police line at daylight. When ho commenced firing he expected the gang to come out and join him. Subsequently he said be was sorry that he and the others had not rushed the station when the train came, in for if they had done so he was certain they would have killed the whole part}'.
