After a fight with the police, he ran across the road into a boot shop and locked the door. Kelly was arrested in May 1870 for helping Power to rob people. After sunset the hostages were allowed some fresh air.

[154] The DNA matching was based on mitochondrial DNA (HV1, HV2). He had ridden away about a mile when he found that two horsemen were pursuing, but by spurring his horse into a gallop he escaped to the Winton hotel where he was assisted inside by the manager. A section from the back of a skull (the occipital) was recovered from the grave that bore saw cuts that matched those present on several neck vertebrae indicating that the skull section belonged to the skeleton and that an illegal dissection had been performed. McIntyre, believing that the gang intended to shoot the whole party,[31] fled on Kennedy's horse. When Scanlon went for his gun Kelly also shot him dead. [127] In the week leading up to the execution, thousands turned out at street rallies across Melbourne demanding a reprieve for Kelly, and on 8 November, a petition for clemency with over 32,000 signatures, some of which were of a suspicious nature, was presented to the governor's private secretary. Finding Dan not at home, he remained with Kelly's mother and other family members, in conversation, for about an hour. Several hostages were shot, and three died, including 13-year-old Jack Jones, the son of the hotel owner.

In response to the public outrage at the murder of police officers, the reward was raised to £500, and on 31 October 1878, the Victorian Parliament passed the Felons' Apprehension Act, coming into effect on 1 November 1878, which outlawed the gang[43] and made it possible for anyone to shoot them: there was no need for the outlaws to be arrested or for there to be a trial upon apprehension (the act was based on the 1865 act passed in New South Wales which declared Ben Hall and his gang outlaws). Kelly won after 20 rounds and was declared the unofficial boxing champion of the district. [174] Even Superintendent Hare flattered Kelly and his gang for their treatment of women and the poor, noting that "they weaved a certain halo of romance and rough chivalry around themselves, which was worth a good deal to them".[174].

They kept shooting from the rear of the building during the morning. A petition with more than 60,000 names asked the government for mercy. [14]:30 The police thought the whole family were trouble makers and criminal. [75] It has been interpreted as a proto-republican manifesto;[76] for others, it is a "murderous, ... maniacal rant",[77] and "a remarkable insight into Kelly's grandiosity". They reached the camp with the assistance of a guide, Mr. Monk, at 2 am. [citation needed] At the age of 21, he was found guilty of stealing two pigs[4] and was transported on the Prince Regent, arriving at Hobart Town, Van Diemen's Land on 2 January 1842. [19] In 1881 Williamson was let out of prison and given a full pardon because the government knew that he was innocent.[14]:74. 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". [14]:21, Ellen Kelly moved the family to Greta.

According to Fook, as he passed the Kelly family home, Ned brandished a long stick and declared himself a bushranger before robbing him of 10 shillings. Joe Byrne died in the front room from loss of blood because a gunshot cut his femoral artery. When this was done, he was put in with the others. While a teenager, Kelly was arrested for associating with bushranger Harry Power, and served two prison terms for a variety of offences, the longest stretch being from 1871 to 1874 on a conviction of receiving a stolen horse. [16] Author Antony O'Brien has argued that Victoria's colonial police practices treated arrest as equivalent to proof of guilt. [73], The original Jerilderie Letter was donated to the State Library of Victoria in 2000,[70] and Hanlon's transcript is held at Canberra's National Museum of Australia. It was tested for DNA to see if it was Ned Kelly's skull. He had ridden a friend's horse into Greta. No evidence was produced in court, and he was released after a month. [171] In the Jerilderie Letter, Kelly demands that wealthy squatters share their land with, and redistribute their wealth to, the rural poor, for "it will always pay a rich man to be liberal with the poor ... if the poor is on his side he shall lose nothing by it".
