Robert
Gibbins states:
I am a farmer, and have been recently
stopping at Glenrowan with Mr. Reynolds.
I came to the Railway-station about eight
o'clock on Sunday night with Mr. Reynolds
to ask about his little boy, who had not come
home.
When we knocked at the door
Mr. Stanistreet told us that Mr. Hart
was inside, and that they had been
struck up ever since three o'clock
on Saturday morning. We followed
her in, and saw Steve Hart. She told
him who we were, and he then put
his firearms down, giving us to
understand that we were not to go out
We remained there about two hours
when Ned Kelly came and Hart ordered
us ???? out of the room.
Ned Kelly then told us that we would
all have to go down to the police barracks
with him. He kept us waiting there for
about two hours, he having gone for Bracken.
He returned to us with Bracken. He kept us
waiting there about an hour and a half.
Byrne at that time was with us. There he
told me and Mr. Reynolds that we would
have to go to Jones's hotel. We went to
the hotel, and he told us to get into the bar
parlor. It was then about ten o'clock on
Sunday night, and we remained there until
the train came.
