insisted. "They often gave to the
poor and never robbed the poor
only the rich"
The gang consisted of Ned and
Dan Kelly and two non-relatives
Jim, who died recently, also took
to bushranging, the Australian term
for such outlawry, on occasion
However, he was in jail when his
brothers and their two cohorts were
most active.
Few gave the Kellys argument.
"If they heard the Kellys were
heading in one direction, the police
would head the opposite way" ac-
cording to DR.. Aitchison.
Despite the efficiency, good humor
and Robin Hood characteristics OF
the Kellys, the police gathered their
forces in 1880 and removed the gang
from the Australian scene. In q
Glenrowan hotel, the four found
themselves cornered. Ned Kelly
then 26, emerged to do battle. He
was wearing heavy armor made OF
plow moldboards. Ned was subdueo
after a lusty battle. He later was
hanged in Melbourne. Dan and the
two others, Burns and Hart. held
out in the hotel and were burned
to death when it was fired.
DR.. Aitchison has lived in the
United States for more than 81
years. But he still remembers clearly
the tales of the Kellys heard from
his father as a youngster and the
stories of Ned's armor told by the
blacksmith who made it.

Arlington Doctor Recalls Tales

Dr.. Aitchison Tells
How Outflow KeIIys
Rode Cattle Ranges

News of the death of Jim Kelly
last member of a notorious Aus

to DR.. David Aitchison than it did
to most Washington area residents
DR.. Aitchison, who lives at 1404
Lee highway, Arlington, Va, was
born in an Australian town fire.
ouented by the Kellys. When he
saw an item last week reporting
Jims death at 90. he recalled tales
of the gangs exploits told him by
his father.
The Kellys were cattlemen who
ranged along the great Murray
River. Their troubles with the law
began when they took to "dufhng,
or stealing cattle, DR.. Aitchison said
yesterday. They drove them across
the river In secret to avoid pay
ment of duties which were assessed
at the time.
DR.. Aitchison said his father knew
Ned Kelly, the leader, well and
considered him a likeable sort. In
fact, the elder Aitchison told his
son of having exchanged horses
on one occasion when the outlaw
offered to "break" the formers un-
ruly steed.
The Kellys terriorized large areas
Of Victoria and New South Wales
for two years, beginning in 1878.
Their methods were efficient. Armed
with muzzle loading rifles, they
would storm into a small town and
head for the police station. The
police department might consist OF
but one constable. The Kelly's
rarely found more than two foot
patrolmen, one mounted man and
sergeant. In any event, the de-
partment would be taken into
custoday by the Kellys, who then
might don police uniforms to add
to the fun.
Police and all persons on the
streets would be herded to con-
centration point, usually the towns
only hotel. Then the Kellys would
start with the bank and 'systemati-
cally move through the settlement,
collecting valuables, often according
to "tips" furnished by Kate Kelly,
sister, who acted as scout.

heart" DR.. Aitchison said his father
