Sydney, February 18.
Ned Kelly left a written statement at Jerilderie which is full of intimidations against the police. Kelly says at fourteen years of age he received three months for using a neighbor's horse without consent. After this he says the police " became a nuisance to his family." He then became a "a wandering gamster." He says he had stolen two hundred horses. When the affray took place with Constable Fitzpatrick, the constable came to arrest his innocent brother Dan, and his mother, said "If Ned were here he would throw you out of the house." Ned Kelly then came up, a struggle ensued, and Fitzpatrick was shot. This statement of Kelly's is said to completely exonerate the police from the charge of taking improper liberties with his sister, which is now said to be a mere attempt to excite sympathy.
