Three days after the murders at Stringy Bark Creek, the Felons Apprehension Act was passed and the Kelly Gang had gone into hiding. This telegram was written by CCP Standish advising Superintendent Sadleir of the proposed route of the Kelly Gang. According to the telegram, Standish went to see William Brickey Williamson, who was serving time in Pentridge for his part in the Fitzpatrick affair, to try to gauge any information as to the whereabouts of the Kellys. Although Williamson was unable to provide Standish with any new information, Standish did speak to a reliable source who informed him of the route that the Kellys were to take.
