This article appeared in the 'The Maitland Mercury and Hunter River General Advertiser' on the 12th of March 1863, in relation to Mr Cirkle's murder when a man named John Clarke was apprehended by Captain Battye and Detective Woolf in connection with Cirkle’s murder and where Clarke was one who was perceived by Captain Battye to be of ‘bad character’. On arrest, and in consequence of Clarke’s subsequent interview with Captain Battye, Clarke claimed that Frank Gardiner was involved, unfortunately, as has been established Gardiner had long fled the Burrangong/Lachlan district for Queensland. Therefore it is more likely Clarke and another possibly Ben Hall? , (for if Gardiner had been involved he would not have remained outside) waited nearby Cirkle's for Gilbert and John O'Meally whilst the robbery was conducted and as a consequence the

Mr. Jones killed Mr. Kelley, there is just an overwhelming amount of evidence that points directly to Mr. Jones committing the murder. First of all, Mr. Jones was jealous of Mr. Kelley because Mr. Kelley had destroyed Mr. Jones’ business by stealing all of the customers so he had none.

Another important piece of evidence is that Mr. Kelley’s blood was found outside of Mr. Jones apartment.
The CIA hired Lee Harvey Oswald and another Hitman. many people believe that Herminio Diaz was the second shooter. He worked for the mafia. Anthony Summers was the author of not in your lifetime. This book he talks about the assassination and said that it was a professional hitman with a record of political assassinations.
Wilkinson had a reputation of being an assassin, just think about that for a second. Another suspect is James Neely. James Neely said he was at grinders stand and found Lewis dead but he had lied.

Ronnie Kray shot and murdered George Cornell, a partner of the Richardsons, pioneers of an opponent posse, at the Blind Beggar bar in Whitechapel on 9 March 1966. Ronnie was savoring another bar when he learned of Cornell 's area. He ran there with his sibling 's driver John Dickson and his partner Ian Barrie yet murdered Cornell alone. There are varying intentions offered for the homicide: Cornell 's position as a pioneer of a contradicting group; Cornell was debilitating the Krays; he had already offended Kray; Cornell was thought to have a section in the homicide of Ronnie 's previous partner, Richard Hart. Ronnie Kray was at that point experiencing neurotic schizophrenia at the season of the executing.

For over 40 years the life and times of the Australian Bushranger, Ben Hall has held my imagination. My first introduction to the name Ben Hall came about by my father when on a long drive from our home in Queensland to our former Victorian home following my fathers service in Viet Nam, and our first opportunity as a family to visit my grandmothers and the wider family of Uncles, Auntys and Cousins, and to recover my sister who was holidaying at the family 's holiday home at Phillip Island. As for anyone who has taken the long road anywhere, a car ride of such distance could be tiresome, not with my father, who had a great interest in the early history of Australia and as well as a wider interest in world history. (something I have inherited) He was a collector of weapons from the earliest periods relating to our country and those which flooded the colony during the great gold rushes of the 1850 's - 1860 's, the Colts Revolvers, Lee Enfield Rifles, The Brown

The death penalty was carried into Australia during colonial times from England as punishment for crimes such as burglary, forgery and sheep stealing. It was eventually outlawed in all Australian states and territories in 1973 when the Death Penalty Abolition Act was instated with bipartisan support (Law Council of Australia, 2015) ; “Since 1973 and the passage of the Death Penalty Abolition Act 1973 (Cth), the death penalty has not applied in respect of offences under the law of the Commonwealth and Territories. ”(Law Council of Australia, 2015, Pg. 19)Even though the death penalty was abolished in 1973 the last man that was ever hanged in Australia was Ronald Ryan on February 2nd, 1967 meaning the death penalty was not used often and only for extreme cases.
