The police returned fire but to no effect as Kelly moved coolly from tree to tree, his armour repelling the bullets. Sergeant Steele realised that Kelly's legs were unprotected and shot them twice; the second brought him to the ground with the cry, "I am done—I am done." Kelly howled and swore at the police. Steele seized him, but Kelly fired again, blowing the sergeant's helmet off. Kelly gradually became quiet, shot in the left foot, left leg, right hand, left arm and twice in the region of the groin. But no bullet had penetrated his armour. He was carried to the railway station, placed in a guard's van and then taken to the stationmaster's office, where his wounds were dressed by Dr. John Nicholson from Benalla.  https://infogalactic.com/w/images/1/12/Ned_Kelly_capture.jpg  Despite thousands of supporters attending rallies and signing a petition for his reprieve, Kelly was tried, convicted and sentenced to death by hanging, which was carried out at the Old Melbourne Gaol. His last words were famously reported to have been "such is life".  https://infogalactic.com/w/images/f/f0/Ned_Kelly_in_court.jpg  Historian Geoffrey Serle called Kelly and his gang "the last expression of the lawless frontier in what was becoming a highly organised and educated society, the last protest of the mighty bush now tethered with iron rails to Melbourne and the world." In the century after his death, Kelly became a cultural icon, inspiring countless works in the arts, and is the subject of more biographies than any other Australian.   https://infogalactic.com/info/Ned_Kelly http://www.australianculture.org/chapter-18-the-complete-inner-history-of-the-kelly-gang/
