Undated, this statement by Edwin Richard Living provides a brief account of the hold-up at the Bank of New South Wales in the town of Jerilderie.. The Outlaws rode into Jerilderie that day with a dual purpose, to both rob the bank and to have Neds manifesto the Jerilderie Letter, printed by the towns newspaper editor. Upon discovering that the editor and town printer Mr. Gill could not be found, Living, a teller at the bank of New South Wales, convinced Ned that he would pass his letter onto Mr. Gill to be printed. Having been assured by the teller that the letter was in good hands and that it would be printed, the outlaws rode out of town confident that Living would keep his promise. Unfortunately for Ned, Edwin Living never kept his promise and once again Neds attempt to get his side of the story published and made available to the public were thwarted.
