Given that no other witnesses came forward, the charge was dismissed on 26 October and Kelly was released. [71], The letter was Kelly's second attempt at writing a chronicle of his life and times. (Unaware at the time, the sound of the shots alerted the bushrangers to their location.) [40], No trace had yet been discovered of Kennedy, and the same day as Scanlan and Lonigan's funeral, another failed search party was launched. Short Biography.

[13] His story has been told in books, movies, plays and television shows. Almost immediately Kelly shifted his aim from McIntyre to Lonigan and fired. Kennedy then realised the hopelessness of his position, jumped off his horse, and begged for his life, "It's all right, stop it, stop it". He then placed his revolver on the bar and announced, "Anyone here may take it and shoot me dead, but if I'm shot, Jerilderie shall swim in its own blood.

[173] Favourable accounts of Kelly from his captives, and his "public performances" of burning mortgage documents at Euroa and Jerilderie, contributed to his reputation as a man of the people. Others, commencing with Kenneally (1929), McQuilton (1979) and Jones (1995), perceived the Kelly Outbreak and the problems of Victoria's Land Selection Acts post-1860s as interlinked.
