However the bushranger had watched their campsite during the night and bailed them up in the morning as they unhobbled their horses. As he was leaving Morgan told them “he could have shot the two of them the night before and not to be so cocksure of their defense in future”.Early Australian Impressions, Albury Banner and Wodonga Express, 12 June 1925, page 22.
