River, about 25 miles from Yackandandah, and stuck up 10 men, including McKinnon. When he departed he took a man from 'Tawnga' with him “to guide him across the country”. Travelling at night Morgan next appeared at Roper’s 'Mullindolingong' station, about 15 miles to the south-east, where “he compelled the services of another guide”. From there Morgan travelled to the south-west until he reached the King Valley, south of Wangaratta. By early morning (before daybreak) on April 6 Morgan arrived at the Evans brothers’ ‘Whitfield’ station on the King River, about 25 miles south of Wangaratta. The bushranger ignited one of the haystacks near the house which roused the station inhabitants from their sleep. While they were gathered around in order to extinguish it, Morgan appeared from behind the kitchen, fired a gun and ordered them to “bail up”. Morgan asked about the whereabouts of Evan Evans and was told he was away from home. Morgan explained “he particularly wished to see him and Mr. Bond, of Degamero station”, both of whom had pursued him in September 1860 from which incident he received a wound in his upper left arm. Morgan “mentioned that New South Wales was getting too hot for him, and that the bloody detectives were walking about the country in the garb of pedlars”. Before he departed at about 9 o’clock in the morning Morgan ordered a female servants to bring him two bottles of brandy. After he departed a lad was despatched to Wangaratta to inform the authorities. The following morning the bushranger appeared on an adjoining run, the property of Mr. McBean, where, in separate incidents, he robbed a hawker and three draymen. At dusk Morgan arrived at the small township of Winton (between Benalla and Glenrowan, south-west of Wangaratta) where he was recognised as he rode past Whitty’s public-house. During that night and the following Saturday morning (April 8) Morgan "was in possession" of the road between Benalla and Glenrowan; he "stopped nearly every one he met, riding up to where carriers were camped, and forcing them to disgorge".Letter to the editor by T. F. Whitty, The Australasian (Melbourne), 13 September 1930, page 4. Morgan's death After his depredations on the road between Benalla and Glenrowan on the morning of 8 April 1865 Morgan left the main road, cutting across the country to the north-west where he reached Warby’s dairy station, after which he
