Morgan (now operating alone) arrived at Gibson’s ‘Burrumbuttock’ station (34 miles north-west of Albury). The squatter, Thomas Gibson, was absent but Morgan made himself comfortable in the house by ordering breakfast and sending “one of the men to fetch up Mr. Gibson’s favourite horse”. Before leaving he changed his clothes, putting on one of Gibson’s suits. Riding Gibson’s horse he went to the public-house at Piney Range where he had drinks with some of the patrons before proceeding to the nearby ‘Walbundrie’ station where he stuck up Thomas Kidston and stole a chestnut horse called Euclid. Morgan then proceeded to the ‘Bulgandra’ station, another of Thomas Gibson’s runs, where Gibson was supervising the shearing. After announcing that “he was now Mr. Gibson” Morgan ordered the shearers from the shed and “told the overseer, Smith, to prepare for death, as he would not see the morrow’s sun”. However, the overseer’s wife pleaded with the bushranger, saying “if he killed her husband, he must kill her and the child too, and have three murders to account for”. Her pleas were successful in saving her husband’s life. Morgan then took Gibson into the house and made him sign nine cheques of £30 for each of the shearers, one of £95 for Morgan himself and another for £15 to pay a man to go to town and get them cashed. When the man returned with the money Morgan departed.

While there he “compelled the proprietor to bring rum to the woolshed, and treated all the shearers”. Morgan pointedly enquired about how the shearers were being treated, and instructed them “to acquaint him if they were ill-used, as he was always to be found thereabouts”. Two days later, on November 6, Morgan visited Elizabeth Vincent’s ‘Mittagong’ station (near The Rock) where he accosted Isaac Vincent (Elizabeth’s son) and accused him of providing information to the police. Morgan instructed one of the shearers to tie Vincent to a fence post so he could “enjoy the spectacle of the place being burnt down”. One of the men was then ordered to set fire to the woolshed. Morgan himself then set fire to the station store. While the store was burning he called to one of the men to get out a bag of
