701:"miners") to strip “with a view to searching their garments”. When they hesitated, perhaps not understanding his command, Morgan shot one of them in the arm just below the shoulder joint. The money he recovered “was trifling” (“one small gold piece, and about thirty shillings in silver – the latter he threw away, from his chagrin”). He remained there until five in the afternoon “having caused tea to be made and a damper prepared for him”. When Morgan left he took several hostages with him, taking them “over the mountains to eight miles north of Kyamba” (at a location known as Kyeamba Gap). There he held up two buggies, one belonging to Mr. Manson and his wife from Beechworth and the other driven by two young men. After robbing the occupants, he then “conversed freely for some hours, detailing his various exploits at great length, and dwelling particularly upon the murder of M’Ginnerty and Smyth, at which he made no attempt at concealment”. He spoke of three men “whom he was determined to shoot before ‘retiring from business’”. The men named were “Mr. M’Kenzie, late of Mundarloo; Mr. M’Laurin, of Yarra Yarra; and Sergeant Carroll”, each of whom “he expressed himself determined to revenge”. After Manson and his wife were allowed to depart the mail coach to Albury arrived, but “being very light” Morgan “allowed it to pass after a merely formal examination”. Shortly afterwards the mail coach coming from Albury arrived. Morgan ordered the driver to stop, but when this was not instantly complied with “he fired a shot at him to bring him to”. He then made the driver “hold the horses heads, while he ransacked the mails”. 612:
put up his hand “through which the ball passed” and then grazed his scalp. Watson ran behind the shed and Morgan fired two more shots, one of which hit John Heriot's lower leg “shattering the bone in pieces”. Suddenly taking pity on Heriot, the bushranger “who seemed to act with the inconsistency of drunkenness, or of a murderer gone mad… swore a fearful oath that he would blow the brains out of every man on the station if they did not come to Heriot’s assistance”. At this time two men made their appearance (“evidently ‘Morgan’s men’”), one of them described as “a half-caste aboriginal”. Morgan supervised Heriot being made as comfortable as possible, at which point John McLean, “seeing Morgan apparently relenting, as if satiated with bloodshed”, asked him “if he might go for a doctor”. The bushranger answered “yes”, but soon afterwards had second thoughts. He set out to follow McLean along the road, “overtook him five or six miles from the station, and without ‘yea’ or ‘nay’ coming close behind him” shot him in the back above the hip. Morgan dismounted and lifted the mortally wounded man onto his horse and led him back to the station. Morgan and his men “then remained carousing until two the next morning, when they departed as they came”. The police under Superintendent McLerie arrived just five minutes after the bushrangers had left.

the station-hands “that a stranger was in the house”. The man ran to George Rutherford's house, located a quarter of a mile from MacPherson's house. Rutherford was co-owner of 'Peechelba' and Morgan was possibly unaware of the other house on the station. Rutherford, not knowing that the ‘stranger’ was Morgan, was in two minds about how to proceed. Meanwhile, the household nurse, Alice Keenan, obtained permission to leave the parlour on the pretext of caring for a sick child. She ran over to Rutherford's house and informed him that the stranger was Daniel Morgan. On this news Rutherford despatched a man to Wangaratta requesting assistance. Inside MacPherson's parlour “things were proceeding very quietly” with Morgan “chatting familiarly with the inmates”. Early in the evening he asked Miss Rutherford and Miss MacPherson to play the piano. Later Morgan dozed in a chair “with a revolver in one hand, and another on the table in front of him”, though Ewan MacPherson perceived that the bushranger was not actually sleeping.

the sergeant got closer Morgan “pulled his hand from his jacket and fired”. Maginnity's horse was startled by the sound of the shot and rushed into the thick scrub beside the road. Morgan's horse wheeled off in the opposite direction as Constable Churchley fired two shots from his revolver. Churchley claimed to have searched the “thick scrubby country” for signs of Maginnity's whereabouts but, as his horse was “completely knocked up”, he eventually led it back to ‘Coppabella’ so he could borrow a fresh horse. Churchley revisited the scene of the encounter, but lost the tracks of Maginnity's horse. On the road back to Tumbarumba Churchley encountered Morgan who “galloped across the road about twenty yards ahead”; the bushranger fired a shot which passed through the side of Churchley's coat. This encounter enabled Churchley to positively identify Morgan as the assailant. Near ‘Glenroy’ station Churchley saw Morgan a third time and fired at him, though the distance was too great to have any effect.

of the police” and after nightfall stalked the campsite “for the purpose of surprising the police”. Towards midnight the police heard a noise in the scrub. Baylis went to investigate “but had not advanced three yards before a discharge of firearms took place in front, close to his person, and he fell instantly”. Trooper Brown returned fire “in the direction of the flashes of the ruffians’ guns” but the bushrangers escaped. Baylis had received a bullet through his right breast which exited from his left shoulder “leaving a fearful opening”. The Police Magistrate eventually recovered, though he continued to suffer from the effects of the injury. The bullet that had passed through his body was later presented to Baylis “enclosed in a gold casket”, which he wore suspended from his watch chain. In 1875 the colonial government presented Baylis with a gold medal for his “gallant and faithful service”.

and resting on the ground inside the tent”. Suddenly a simultaneous volley of bullets was fired into the tent, “both from the opening and through the back”. The policemen jumped to their feet and rushed outside. Smyth and Constable Connors returned fire into the darkness and the “firing continued on both sides”. The others “made a skirmish” into the thick scrub but “without being able to come up to their cowardly assailants”. On returning to the tent the men “found poor Smyth insensible and bleeding profusely” with a bullet wound to his left shoulder. Smyth was taken to the station homestead and next morning driven in a dog-cart towards Ten-mile Creek for medical assistance. After a dreadful trip during which the dog-cart driver lost his way in the bush Smyth arrived at Ten-mile Creek, after which he was transferred to Albury “by easy stages”.

told MacPherson he wished to borrow a horse. Fully armed, Morgan marched the men from the parlour onto the verandah and around the garden fence to the stockyard. When Morgan appeared the men waiting in ambush cautiously moved towards him. MacPherson became aware of the planned ambush when he saw men cautiously following. At the haystack where several horses were feeding MacPherson pointed out one of the animals to Morgan. While this was happening John Wendlan had moved up to the garden fence, a short distance ahead of the others. Without pausing Wendlan raised his gun and fired and the bushranger “fell with a heavy thud to the earth”. Two constables then rushed towards the wounded bushranger and disarmed him, upon which Morgan “reproached them for firing without giving him a chance”.

Morgan instructed one of the shearers to tie Vincent to a fence post so he could “enjoy the spectacle of the place being burnt down”. One of the men was then ordered to set fire to the woolshed. Morgan himself then set fire to the station store. While the store was burning he called to one of the men to get out a bag of flour “as he did not want to leave them starving”. Morgan then rode away, commanding all at the station to remain in place till the following morning when he would return. Next morning “in accordance with his promise” he returned and “inspected them as a General of Division would”. After eating breakfast at the station Morgan departed. 737:

Morgan explained “he particularly wished to see him and Mr. Bond, of Degamero station”, both of whom had pursued him in September 1860 from which incident he received a wound in his upper left arm. Morgan “mentioned that New South Wales was getting too hot for him, and that the bloody detectives were walking about the country in the garb of pedlars”. Before he departed at about 9 o’clock in the morning Morgan ordered a female servant to bring him two bottles of brandy. After he departed a lad was despatched to Wangaratta to inform the authorities.

After announcing that “he was now Mr. Gibson” Morgan ordered the shearers from the shed and “told the overseer, Smith, to prepare for death, as he would not see the morrow’s sun”. However, the overseer's wife pleaded with the bushranger, saying “if he killed her husband, he must kill her and the child too, and have three murders to account for”. Her pleas were successful in saving her husband's life. Morgan then took Gibson into the house and made him sign nine cheques of £30 for each of the shearers, one of £95 for Morgan himself and another for £15 to pay a man to go to town and get them cashed. When the man returned with the money Morgan departed.

In May 1865 it was reported that the Attorney General of Victoria had suspended both Dr. Dobbyn ("for removing the head of Morgan") and Superintendent Cobham ("for the part he took in reference to the beard"), however both suspensions were only temporary. A later report states the skin and beard from Morgan's face was made into a tobacco pouch.

but was cautioned that anything he did say might be used in evidence against him. The reason for the wariness was that, prior to the verdict of the inquest, Wendlan was technically liable to be prosecuted for the bushranger's murder. The following verdict was arrived at: “The deceased, whom we believe to be Daniel Morgan, met his death from a gunshot wound inflicted by John Wendlan, on the 9th of April, 1865, at Pechelba station, on the Ovens River; and we further consider that the homicide was justifiable; we further consider that great praise is due to all concerned in the capture of the deceased”.

Despite Smyth's initial clarity of mind in the end his wound proved to be fatal. On three occasions “the wound had commenced bleeding afresh” and despite two doctors being “in constant attendance on him”, Thomas Smyth died on 29 September.

With “a revolver in each hand, cocked and capped” Morgan demanded that the liquor supplies, consisting of six bottles of gin, be produced. He insisted that his captives join him in drinking gin (to an extent that all involved were probably inebriated). After ordering a meal be served to him he rounded up the station personnel into a cattle shed. 765: 777: 868:
However, the section of the Act dealing with those who would give shelter or sustenance to a declared outlaw had a deterrent and possibly salutary effect on Morgan's previous associates and sympathisers (even though technically the act would not apply to them). In June 1865 Inspector Singleton from Albury stated that “about thirty persons, suspected of harbouring Morgan and other similar characters, have left their accustomed haunts and taken to honest pursuits since the Felons' Apprehension Act became law”.

The newspaper report added that “the decapitation appears to have been a most unwarranted piece of officiousness and excess of authority on the part of the local Coroner, and is very much akin to the prurient and brutal feeling which resulted in the hair, beard, and clothes of the deceased marauder being hawked about for the delectation of the curious”.

their captive Morgan returned the money and watch he had taken from him. Instead of tying Baylis to a tree the bushrangers opted to cut down a telegraph pole, cutting direct communication between Urana and Wagga Wagga.
