her outlawed brothers, suffered repeated incidents of police harassment and brutality at her home while her mother was in prison serving a lengthy-term, she sought Ned's clemency in a public campaign in Melbourne, to no avail, and was clearly mentally and physically exhausted by the end of 1880. An expert horsewoman and possessed of a singular style and presence, the young Kate Kelly then confronted the rest of her life, aged 17. After Ned's execution in November 1880, Kelly and her brother Jim toured Victoria and NSW showing what newspapers of the day called "an exhibition of relics of the oppression conflicts". They gave several presentations to packed crowds until the police stopped them. Any potential public movement for accountability and justice had to be nipped in the bud. Later life Following Ned's hanging, Kelly left Victoria, travelling to Sydney and performing as "Ada" in a "Wild West Show" run by Lance Skuthorpe, and then in Adelaide under the names Ada Hennessey and Kate Ambrose. She eventually ceased performing due to ill health. She worked briefly as a barmaid at Hill Scott's Hotel in southern Adelaide, before her waning health forced her to return home.

The couple do not seem to have lived together for the next five months, as Foster was reported to have been visiting his wife the night before her disappearance, before returning to the station he worked at. She gave birth to her sixth child, Catherine, on 7 September. Death On 5 October 1898, Kelly visited a neighbour, asking her to write a message for her, and look after the children, including Catherine. The next day Kelly was reported missing, and her body was found eight days later in a lagoon on Condobolin Road near Forbes. The doctor who examined her body said he couldn't determine the cause of death or any marks of violence, as the body
