He was recently employed by the police, four of whom were secreted in a house near the scene of the tragedy. Byrne and the Kellys compelled a German acquaintance of Sherratt, to go and call him outside, and then Byrne instantly killed him out of revenge. The police summoned the Kellys to surrender, but they refused,' and remained outside the house where the police were ensconsed till morning. During the night, the Kellys fired a volley at the house, and then attempted to set it on fire. In the morning they had disappeared. The police went in pursuit, and surrounded them this morning, at Jones' Hotel, Glenrowan Station, 70 miles from the outrage at Sebastopool. Several encounters ensued, iv one of whioh two children were shot. "When the police arrived at Jones Hotel, there were twenty-five civilians bailed up there, including some platelayers whom they forced to tear up the rails ahead of a special train, but without, upsetting it. It was 3 o'clock this morning when the police arrived, and then fighting immediately commenced. Ned Kelly took to the bush shortly afterwards, but returned at daylight, and joined his mates A m the fray. They fought hard. Ned Kelly received a shot in the groin, and was captured.
