MELBOURNE, August A. The preliminary inves,i-
cation into the charges against Kelly takes place
at ~BeechwOrth on Friday next. Kelly has been
very quiet since his arrival at Beechworth, and is
only visited by his solicitors, Mr.. Zincke and Mr..
Clarke. An attempt will be made to obtain a
postponement OF the trial for a week. Kelly's
demeanor in the train was more extraordinary
than at first reported. His hatred for Sergeant
Steele was very marked. On the way no he
sprang on him and had to be thrown down on the
seat by two constables. At Euroa he looked ont
OF the train, and pointed to the fence saving.
That's where Steve Hart hung up his horse when
he saw the ID policeman coming. The fool
passed him, and Steve said good-day, To him
but be did not drop TO him" At Glenrowan. Kelly
told Sergeant Steele he would like TO have him in
the bush, and he would shoot him and also
whilst In the bush he made his own powder.
With regard TO the proceedings at Jones' hotel
he said he and Byrne started firing from the
verandah, as Hart and Dan were too slow in com
ing out after the police had fired. They fred
again from the chimney. and it WIS then he was
wounded. He then went into the house and
reached under the beds for Bracken TO shoot him
but could not find him. Having done so. he walk.
ed out through the back door and told Byrne he
would break through the police lines at daylight.
When he commenced firing be expected the gang
to come and join him. He was sorry that he and
others had not rushed the station when the train
came in. for if be had done so be was certain thew
would killed the whole party.
