2:20
Australia is written and produced by me,
2:22
Michael Adams, in the Blue Mountains of
2:24
New South Wales on land traditionally owned
2:26
by the Darragh and Gundungurra people. I
2:29
pay my respect to Aboriginal elders
2:31
past and present. It's
2:36
a grim day in September 1883 in Ararat Jail
2:39
in Victoria and murderer Robert
2:42
Burns is about to be
2:44
launched into eternity by colonial
2:47
hangman Elijah Uphjohn. In
2:49
just seconds, Burns life will be
2:51
extinguished. His crime expiated, his soul
2:53
sent to heaven or hell and
2:56
his body buried in quicklime in
2:58
an unmarked grave. That should
3:00
be the end of the story but
3:02
it won't be because Robert Burns
3:05
has a confession to make to
3:07
Elijah Uphjohn. So Uphjohn said that
3:09
Burns confessed to him on the
3:12
platform. I've cooked eight
3:14
all together, five in Victoria
3:16
and three in New South Wales
3:18
and now you're going to cook
3:20
me. Whoa. Burns
3:23
reckons he's murdered eight people
3:26
not just the one he's about to swing for.
3:29
Flash forward 140 years and Bendigo
3:31
woman Julie de Bella is using
3:33
ancestry to research her family history
3:36
when she makes an amazing discovery.
3:39
Robert Francis Burns, one of Australia's
3:41
earliest and most prolific serial killers,
3:44
is her great-great-grandfather. Not
3:47
only that but her family tree includes
3:49
the hangman and one of
3:52
the murderer's victims. I'm
3:58
Michael Adams and today I'll be speaking with Julie
4:00
DeBella for this Your Story's
4:02
Forgotten Australia episode. My great-great-grandfather
4:05
was a serial killer. Julie,
4:09
let's start in the little gold rush town
4:11
of Deep Lead in Victoria in January 1882
4:15
with a miner named Harry Wilson making
4:17
a gruesome find. Who is
4:19
it? What's happened? Charles
4:22
Fawkes or blathering
4:24
Charlie. He
4:27
was found in a
4:29
decomposed state without his head
4:33
and his body had been horned and moved
4:37
by cattle and eaten by
4:39
wild cats and dogs. So
4:41
quals and dingoes. Dear
4:44
God, so Charlie was blathering no
4:46
more. No. Poor
4:48
Charlie. Now a naked headless body is terrible
4:51
but a diligent constable named Hillard
4:54
finds a clue that's going to lead
4:56
to the identification of Charlie Fawkes because
4:58
originally he's got no head and he's
5:00
pretty messed up. What's the
5:03
clue that the constable finds? His
5:05
brother and his workmates were able
5:08
to identify him by the coat
5:10
and they remembered when he got
5:13
the pipe hole on it. So from
5:15
a pipe ember he's burned a hole in
5:17
his clothing and that's how he's been identified.
5:20
It's remarkable isn't it when you read these
5:22
old accounts. Like these people had so few
5:24
possessions, so few pieces of clothing, a single
5:27
garment the person would be identifiable from that
5:29
because they would probably wear it all the
5:31
time. So with the
5:33
other victim who I know we'll get to
5:35
later, he was
5:37
identified by his sister because he had
5:39
a muffler, another word for a
5:42
staff and she recognised it because he was going
5:44
to give it to her to wrap the baby
5:46
in. They've identified Charlie Forbes.
5:49
How do they link him to Robert Burns?
5:52
He was the last person
5:54
seen with Charlie and they both
5:56
walked off in the bush together towards deep
5:58
lead. police do
6:00
a really good job of
6:02
backtracking and finding out who Charlie
6:05
was, where he worked and where
6:07
he'd been seen, the last place
6:09
he'd been seen. And
6:12
they tracked it through to a few
6:14
different... They travelled from
6:16
town to town just tramping around
6:18
and drinking and
6:21
so they would go
6:23
to... The police went to inns,
6:26
boarding houses, hotels, general
6:28
stores and made a chain of
6:30
evidence to work out where they'd
6:32
been. I read in
6:35
your wonderful research that Robert
6:37
Burns had also been seen needing
6:39
a grindstone for his axe and had
6:41
made quite a big deal about getting
6:43
his axe nice and sharp. I mean,
6:45
could he have looked more suspicious? No,
6:48
and he had a scratch on his face. He
6:51
went to one of the
6:53
local council supervisors
6:55
to ask for
6:58
work and he
7:00
noted that he was trembling
7:02
quite badly and Burns
7:04
just put that down to being
7:07
out on the drink. But
7:10
the interesting thing that I found
7:13
was supposedly they'd gone out into
7:15
the bush to chop wood. It
7:17
was the middle of summer. So unless
7:19
they were chopping wood to cook on, yeah,
7:21
I'm not really sure why it would have
7:23
been such a big deal going out and
7:26
chopping wood. So Burns and Charlie had
7:28
last been seen together. It didn't look
7:30
good for Burns. They'd come to arrest
7:32
him. Yeah, they
7:35
arrested him at the Rapunya
7:38
Hotel. They got him out of bed and
7:40
then as they were putting him, they called
7:42
it a cab, but I gather it was
7:44
horse and buggy. The
7:46
constable said to him, you're
7:49
being charged with the murder
7:51
of Charlie Forbes. So
7:53
he sort of says, what, Charlie
7:55
Forbes? He's alive. He's up in
7:57
Sydney. He's up in New South
7:59
Wales. All right, well, let's leave 1882 there for
8:01
a moment. Robert
8:04
Burns has said that Charlie Forbes is alive
8:07
and well and up in Sydney. And
8:09
let's flash forward 140 or so years to you, Julie. Who
8:13
are you? Where are you from? And what do
8:15
you do with yourself? I'm from
8:18
Bendigo in the central gold
8:21
field. So, you know, we still got
8:23
that golden triangle thing going. I'm
8:26
an almost retired social
8:28
worker and I'm
8:31
also an author on
8:33
the Sharpie
8:35
subculture or counterculture of the 1960s
8:37
and 1970s. And
8:41
I think that's it. So you're
8:43
interested in history. Writing about the
8:45
Sharpies, I mean, like the Bodgies, they
8:48
were quote unquote menaces to society. Are
8:50
you a bit of a true crime aficionado? Yes.
8:54
And I was also a former Sharpie as well. Oh,
8:57
right. Okay. So you were a
8:59
menace to society yourself. I was a menace
9:01
to society. Right. Well,
9:04
you won't go into your criminal history too
9:06
much. Back in 1882, the
9:08
Victorian police have Robert Burns in custody. But
9:11
a few years ago, why were you on his trail?
9:14
I decided that I wanted to
9:17
work out when each of my
9:20
ancestors arrived in the country.
9:23
And when I got to
9:25
the Burns and sort of
9:27
O'Leary line, I
9:29
saw that both had died
9:31
in 1902 in Brunswick. And
9:35
I thought that that was a bit weird. Like
9:37
what did they die of? Did they get sick?
9:39
Did they have an accident? Or did one die
9:41
of a broken heart after the other died? And
9:45
I didn't have any leads on
9:48
it in ancestry. So
9:50
I used Google and it
9:53
led me to an essay
9:55
written by a member
9:58
of the Mount Ralph Historical It
10:00
was the saw she and she's
10:02
been doing some research and discovered
10:04
that. A burns and
10:06
ah, supposedly another victim. We're
10:08
drinking together at the pins
10:11
her so tell. So.
10:13
In this man's research he had his
10:15
full name. I had it is. Robert
10:17
Henry Bones rather than Robert Francis
10:20
Foods. But when I saw the
10:22
was and he also listed the
10:24
names of all the dates as
10:26
a children's birth on with I
10:28
were born. So. I knew straight
10:30
away that. It was
10:32
him. So the headline he's on. His.
10:35
You looking for your great
10:38
great grandfather? And. All the
10:40
sudden it pops out that just like. Robert.
10:43
Francis Burns. Is.
10:45
A multiple murderer. So you had no idea
10:47
about Robert Burns the to look at all
10:49
before this moment. No. No
10:51
one alive in the family did either. How
10:54
did you feel at that moment when
10:56
you in? Oh, this is definitely my
10:59
ancestor. I still spend about another
11:01
four hours trying to disprove it because I
11:03
didn't want to run around. And to the
11:05
stop signs Paypal this is. This is a
11:07
fact. If I had it wrong yet. So.
11:10
Them. What I did: the two or
11:12
three other people on a sister that
11:14
had had also had him. As
11:16
an air sister and I also had the
11:18
wrong name Robert Henry I said them the
11:21
essay and just said what do you think.
11:24
And. They all came back and confirmed
11:26
that they agreed that that was him. Now.
11:28
Have you used ancestry deny it all
11:31
To simply say the least? When
11:33
you had. Contacted. The
11:35
other people on ancestry and concerned
11:37
and Rican same the yes indeed
11:40
you are the great great granddaughter
11:42
of. Potentially. A serial
11:44
killer? And. He is. How did
11:46
you feel when. It
11:49
is excited but not get are not
11:51
latina in a in a creepy way
11:53
but you know I have a a
11:55
bachelor in criminal justice while so. I
11:58
you know I agree. crimes
12:00
a little bit differently. And
12:04
so I wanted to speak to my
12:07
cousin in America because she spent more time
12:09
with our grandfather. And but I
12:11
had to wait till the time zones
12:13
were right. So I was just waiting
12:16
all night to call her. So
12:18
when the time zones matched up,
12:21
I messaged her and said, can you talk? And
12:23
she said, oh no, not right now. I'm back
12:25
after a walk. Is it important? I said, yes.
12:28
She rang me straight away and I
12:30
told her, oh, what do you mean? It's 140 years. Come on. It
12:34
could have waited a little bit longer.
12:37
No, I couldn't. And so I said
12:39
to her, you know, did you have any
12:42
inkling at all? And she said, no. So
12:44
then she asked her
12:48
mother without disclosing.
12:51
Yeah. I asked
12:53
my dad and
12:56
no, none of them none of them knew
12:58
anything. Wow. So how did they
13:00
feel when you revealed this? Were they kind
13:02
of all as sort of intrigued
13:04
and not sort of overly emotional as you
13:06
were? Dad just kind
13:11
of took it in his stride and
13:13
I'm not sure about my auntie. They've
13:15
both recently gone into care. So
13:17
they've got other things to worry
13:19
about. Yeah, fair enough. What's the
13:21
reaction been like from other family
13:23
members? Have you told everybody?
13:26
No. Tell me why. Because
13:30
some of my relations,
13:34
I doubt very much they'd ever read a
13:36
true crime book or watch a true crime
13:39
show or listen to a
13:41
podcast. And I
13:43
don't feel I have the right to to
13:46
shatter. Yeah. Or you know, even have
13:48
them have to even contemplate it. Fair
13:51
enough. So like I told my brother,
13:54
but we haven't, you know,
13:56
we don't tell the children. You haven't
13:58
made it to you yet. Not
14:00
yet, no. Alright, now let's
14:03
go back to April 1882. The
14:06
Victorian police have arrested Robert Burns for
14:08
the murder of poor old headless Charlie
14:10
Forbes. How did Robert Burns
14:12
react to this? What did he say to the
14:15
cops? Well, it was
14:17
basically just with disbelief and,
14:19
you know, just like, no,
14:21
you know, Charlie's alive.
14:25
And it just said I had
14:27
no reason, you know, I'd have no reason to do
14:29
him in something like that. Did the
14:31
police have a look for Charlie? Yes.
14:36
According to the reports at the time, it
14:38
was one of the biggest, I'll use the
14:40
word manhunt, but it's not quite, but you
14:42
know, wanted person. Fliers
14:46
were delivered to every police station in
14:48
the colony. One
14:51
of the constables rode all around. He
14:53
even came up to Bendigo. They
14:56
went to New South Wales, couldn't find
14:59
him, came back and told Burns. And
15:01
he said, oh, I made a mistake. He's in
15:03
New Zealand. Ah, yeah, that old thing. I
15:06
always get Sydney and New Zealand mixed
15:08
up myself. Yeah, it's the new in
15:10
the new. New South New Zealand. Yeah.
15:13
Of course. Yes. Yeah. The
15:16
detective had to constable had to
15:19
go over by steamer to New
15:22
Zealand. And in
15:24
the end, you know, they couldn't find him. They
15:26
even gave put out a reward of
15:28
I think it was 20 pounds,
15:31
hoping that the children of Stolen
15:34
and Deep Lead would go out
15:36
looking for the head in the
15:38
bush. Oh, wow. Had
15:40
the head ever been found? Not
15:44
really know. It's amazing.
15:46
I found reports of
15:48
three separate heads being found
15:50
in store after
15:53
that. But none of them
15:55
were his. Right. I
15:57
mean, Robert Burns must have been a fairly. convincing
16:02
character for the police to go
16:05
to these lengths or were they just doing their
16:07
due diligence? They were doing due diligence. I really
16:09
don't think they believed him. Okay
16:12
then. They don't have the head. Fingerprinting
16:15
is a decade away at least. DNA is 100 years away. What
16:18
evidence do the police have apart
16:21
from people saying, oh they were together? That's
16:24
pretty much it. So the police have
16:26
got a chain of circumstantial evidence, witnesses
16:28
placing them together, a body that's been
16:30
found and identified as Charlie Forbes, Robert
16:33
Burns giving multiple stories, none of which
16:35
check out. They take him to trial.
16:39
Does the Crown Prosecutor present a good case? I
16:42
think he did the best that he could. It
16:45
was in town in the
16:47
Melbourne Supreme Court at the time. I
16:53
looked at the list of jurors
16:55
and most of them were professionals
16:59
or semi-professionals. So
17:02
I think in the end they just decided
17:05
that the jurors,
17:07
they just couldn't quite be sure
17:09
that it was Charlie because there
17:11
was no head. So they
17:13
gave him the benefit of the doubt. Robert
17:16
Burns got off. Great.
17:19
End of story, is it? He
17:21
walked outside and he was in Swanson Street
17:24
and the detective came up and tapped
17:26
him on the shoulder and said, I'm
17:28
arresting you for the murder of Michael
17:31
Quinlivan. Okay. Twist, plot
17:33
twist. Who's Michael Quinlivan and
17:35
how does this detective know this? When the
17:38
policeman was doing his due diligence,
17:41
he remembered a case from
17:43
Wycliffe, which is
17:47
not far from Dunkell where Burns
17:49
lived. Okay. So
17:51
Michael Quinlivan was another body and he'd
17:54
been found maybe a year before in
17:57
similar circumstances, both.
18:00
Charles Forbes and Michael Quinlivan
18:02
were workmates of Burns.
18:05
They all worked on the railways
18:07
together, they shared tents together. Was
18:09
he headless? And no
18:11
he had his head but it
18:13
had been caved in at the back. Okay.
18:16
And it was in a really remote spot
18:18
and I've actually been out there.
18:20
Oh. Not I haven't found
18:22
the murder plane. Yeah. But it was
18:25
described as Slisweski's
18:27
paddock. So I
18:29
looked it up and Slisweski, I can't say
18:31
the name properly, he had a
18:34
like the mansion in the area. He had
18:36
the rump. And so when
18:38
I went to the, the mansion had an
18:40
open day and I went and had a
18:42
look at it. Fantastic. And you could see
18:44
around that there was just paddocks everywhere but
18:46
there were also lots of gullies. Yeah.
18:49
So apparently the body was found down
18:51
in a gully that, and
18:53
it was quite a long time before it was found. It's
18:56
terrific going to those locations, especially if you
18:58
can kind of go, okay, this hasn't changed
19:00
that much in terms of its wash and
19:02
really get a sense of how remote some
19:04
of these places are sometimes. Yeah.
19:07
Good on you for doing that.
19:09
So he's found, is he dressed?
19:11
Quinlivan? Yeah, he's
19:13
got clothes on. He's been dressed. Yeah, he
19:15
must have had because they found
19:17
the body, couldn't identify him. They
19:20
buried the body as an unknown
19:22
person. Yeah. And the policeman
19:25
had kept the clothes in evidence.
19:29
And so he started thinking,
19:31
I wonder if Burns has
19:33
murdered Michael. So
19:35
he starts investigating it, takes
19:38
the clothes to Michael's sister, Michael's
19:40
wife and two children lived in
19:43
England. So, and
19:46
he was also an itinerant worker. So
19:48
sometimes he would be gone for quite
19:51
a while. But
19:53
he was always in contact with his family. He
19:55
was quite close with them. And
20:00
I believe after the body was
20:03
found, it might
20:05
have been in the news that an
20:07
unidentified body was found. Because around about
20:09
that time, his family started receiving
20:12
letters from Burns, acting as
20:17
if he'd just seen him and
20:19
they'd had a conversation and he was
20:21
going to get slanted to select land.
20:25
So, you know, the trial of keeping
20:28
him alive when that's pretty
20:30
dandy. Yes, that
20:32
was presented at court and I
20:35
actually believe that that was the
20:37
reason because it was so calculated
20:39
they didn't go down the insane route.
20:41
He was remanded to Melbourne for a little
20:44
while and then in,
20:46
I think it was August of 1882,
20:49
he left Old
20:51
Melbourne Jail and went
20:54
by train to Hamilton and
20:57
he was put in Hamilton Jail until
20:59
they were able to have the circuit
21:02
court. They had like 31 witnesses
21:04
describing him being with Quinn Liven. I
21:07
mean, as far as change of evidence
21:09
go, this is pretty solid, isn't it?
21:11
What did the jury say this time?
21:13
Well, the first juror because they were
21:15
all local and I believe once he
21:17
was arrested, obviously they didn't like him
21:19
anymore. But from what I can gather,
21:21
he probably had the gift of the
21:23
gab. He was always
21:25
at the races, he was always drinking,
21:28
you know, he was probably everyone's best
21:30
mate. Yeah. Drinking mate.
21:33
And apparently one of the jurors
21:35
said something to the effect of, I'll
21:37
eat my hat or I'll eat my
21:39
boots before I have
21:42
another man's blood on my hands. So
21:45
the jury had to come out or the foreman
21:47
had to come out and say to the judge,
21:50
I'm really sorry, we can't agree.
21:52
And the judge said, well, can we give you
21:54
any more evidence? And he said, no, it's not
21:56
from lack of evidence. It's because
21:58
we're just not going to. agree. Do
22:01
you think it played into it that
22:03
Burns was 43, he's married, he had,
22:05
was it five children? Five?
22:07
Yeah. Superficially at least, he looks like
22:09
an ordinary decent bloke. Do you think
22:11
they just couldn't believe that, you know,
22:13
this guy who they knew was
22:15
capable of such a thing? Yeah, maybe.
22:18
They haven't been able to return a verdict. That's not
22:20
the same as being acquitted. So did
22:22
they crown decide they would try him again?
22:25
Yes, they did. And in the
22:28
meantime, they'd also reopened a case
22:33
sometime before Burns'
22:36
tent mate that he worked on the
22:38
railway with, was around the Ararat area.
22:40
He became very unwell while they were
22:42
out working. So they helped him
22:45
on the trolley and he was taken back to
22:47
the camp. And then he
22:49
became more and more unwell in his tent
22:51
and he died. And
22:55
the coroner came, Burns was one of
22:57
the witnesses, his brother was
22:59
one of the witnesses and
23:04
another workmate. And the
23:06
coroner said that he died from English
23:08
cholera. And then they
23:11
started to suspect that it was
23:13
he'd been poisoned with arsenic. So
23:17
around about the same time
23:19
that they exhumed Michael
23:21
Quinlivan's grave, they
23:24
also exhumed Francis
23:28
Heenan, Charles or Francis Heenan. I should have
23:30
had my notes with me. They exhumed Mr.
23:34
Heenan's grave and
23:37
the forensic scientist
23:40
was already, but when they opened it,
23:42
the water had got in there, the
23:44
coffin broke open, the head rolled
23:46
out. All they
23:48
could do was scrape up a bit
23:51
of slime and put in a jar.
23:53
And then that was taken by train
23:55
into Melbourne for testing, but it was
23:57
inconclusive. So there wasn't enough evidence. him
24:01
with Hienan's
24:03
murder. Faced with the fact
24:05
that their jar of bodily muck was
24:07
useless to them they really had to
24:10
make this second trial against
24:12
Burns stick didn't they? Yeah
24:15
they just really they just really wanted to get
24:17
it they wanted to get rid of him. And
24:20
what did the jury say this time around? They
24:24
found him guilty. Ah okay
24:27
so it's an automatic death sentence the
24:30
Chief Justice William Stahl is
24:32
presiding he gives you know he's obviously
24:34
going to give Burns a chance to make a
24:36
statement before he pronounces sentence what does Burns have
24:38
to say? Basically he calls
24:40
everybody liars. Maintaining his innocence he's
24:43
not going to confess to anything? No.
24:46
Alright. Didn't confess to anything and
24:50
just singled out all the people that he
24:52
felt were telling lies and why he thought
24:54
they were telling lies. There was a
24:56
petition to save him you've had a look
24:58
at that those materials at the
25:01
Public Records Office? Mm-hmm
25:03
yeah I can't
25:05
read the judges notes
25:08
of evidence because it's just
25:10
like took scratchings it's
25:13
terrible. Yeah. But like I
25:15
picked out a couple of words
25:17
like cold, calculating it was interesting
25:20
that the appeal was
25:22
on some points of law. One
25:24
of them was how
25:26
many jurors had been challenged
25:29
and stood down and
25:32
in the end they ran out of jurors and
25:34
they had to take a juror that was drunk. Oh that's
25:37
not great. No
25:40
so then there was an argument over
25:42
did the judge have the right to
25:44
say well bring him back in. Yeah.
25:46
We got his voice and
25:49
the other one was over some evidence
25:52
I think it was to do with the
25:54
sale of Burns block of
25:56
land. Well maybe it was
25:58
about poison on the train. Anyway,
26:00
there was some evidence that was said at
26:02
the trial and the judge struck it out.
26:05
But he's barrister argued that the jury
26:08
had already heard it and it would
26:10
taint their minds. Right.
26:13
Yeah. But the appeal was rejected on the grounds,
26:15
I guess, that the verdict wouldn't have been changed
26:17
by any of those points. Even
26:19
the drunk jury today would obviously be
26:21
an instant trial. So
26:23
Burns is going to hang at
26:26
Ararat jail. And this is
26:28
where I came across Robert Burns and I
26:30
was researching and writing Hanging Ned Kelly. So
26:32
for listeners who've not read the book, it's
26:34
about the hangman Elijah Uptown who'd hanged Ned
26:36
Kelly in 1880. And
26:38
poor Elijah was a bit of a hopeless drunk and he was still
26:40
in his job in 1883. So it
26:43
was going to fall to him for the
26:45
princely sum of five pounds to do this
26:47
job. Elijah went up to perform the execution
26:49
in Ararat jail. It was only going to
26:51
be witnessed by a small crowd of jailers,
26:53
police officials, reporters, doctors, rather than the
26:55
good old bad old days when thousands
26:57
of people would turn out in Victoria
27:00
to see someone swing. What
27:02
did this crowd see when Robert Burns
27:04
was led pinioned to the scaffold? They
27:07
just saw a man with the
27:09
white cap on his
27:12
forehead ready to be pulled
27:14
down. The
27:16
spectators were on the lower floor and
27:19
the trap was up a
27:22
bit higher. I have been
27:24
to the jail and had a look and
27:27
since then they've actually moved the stairs
27:29
to the other end. And
27:31
the jail is like, is
27:34
modeled on the same principle
27:36
as Pantridge and
27:38
a lot of the other old Bluestone jails. Let's
27:42
leave Burns on the platform hanging
27:44
there, not quite hanging there as
27:46
the case may be and jump back as close
27:48
to the beginning as we can get. What
27:51
have you learned about Robert Burns' background? Where
27:53
did he come from? What had brought him
27:55
to Australia? He came on his own. I
27:58
think it was 1816. How
28:00
old was he then? 20, 22?
28:03
He wasn't very old. And
28:06
then he's missing completely until
28:08
he meets his wife, Ellen,
28:11
in Adelaide. And
28:14
when did they get married? Erm, 68. 1868.
28:18
So this is Ellen, Leary,
28:21
your great-great-grandmother. Now, they
28:23
had five children that survived, otherwise you and
28:25
I would not be talking. Which
28:28
is a weird thing, isn't it? So
28:30
they settled in Victoria. He is
28:32
then supposedly has poisoned Francis
28:34
Heenan in February of 1879, even
28:38
though the police can't prove that. Then in 1880, Elijah
28:42
Uptown does his most infamous work by
28:44
hanging Ned Kelly. November of 1880, this
28:48
is just three days after Ned
28:50
Kelly swings, Robert and Ellen have
28:52
another baby and then they move to the store.
28:56
Your great-grandparent. Er,
28:58
the youngest. When
29:01
was she born? She was born in November of 1880.
29:05
Yes. Right. So the baby
29:07
that they held... So what was her name?
29:10
Ellen Anastasia. So
29:12
Ellen Anastasia is born three days
29:14
after Ned Kelly's hanged. I
29:17
never made that connection. Wow! To
29:20
Robert, who's already, we assume,
29:22
committed at least one murder by poisoning
29:25
his mate. It's quite creepy,
29:27
isn't it? Oh! Great-grandmother
29:55
Ellen's born? To your great-grand a protean?
30:00
great-grandfather Robert who
30:02
by this stage has likely
30:05
killed at least one person. Then
30:07
they moved to Deep Lead in January 1882. They find Headless
30:09
Charlie. Three
30:12
months later they've got Robert Burns. What
30:15
did they police actually think had happened
30:17
between Robert Burns and Charlie Forbes? Did
30:19
they think that it had been a
30:21
fight that had gone wrong? Was it
30:24
premeditated? What was their theory?
30:27
They didn't have a motive
30:29
and so they decided
30:31
that it may have been to do,
30:34
may have been about money and
30:36
possessions. So apparently
30:39
and I read somewhere
30:41
that it was actually called Bobby. Bobby
30:44
Burns. Yeah Bobby
30:46
and Charlie, Bobby and
30:48
Blathering Charlie were out on the
30:50
piss and I
30:53
reckon they ran out of money when they were on their
30:55
binge and they
30:57
pawned his watch, pawn
31:00
Charlie's watch and then they
31:02
spent the money. And then at
31:04
some stage I think Robert went
31:06
back and or Bobby went back
31:09
and got the watch but there
31:11
was a lot of investigation
31:13
into the whole watch
31:15
situation because they were
31:18
making that as the motive whereas
31:21
it really didn't make sense. I
31:23
mean I know when you know
31:25
I suspect that Bobby
31:27
was a blackout drunk. I
31:30
also know that there's
31:32
a condition through my
31:34
family called Warnicke-Korsakov syndrome
31:38
which I don't know
31:40
the full details but it's
31:42
like an advanced alcoholic brain
31:45
dementia. Wow. And their alcohol
31:47
seeking behaviour is just
31:50
from the minute they get up it's with my drink,
31:52
with my drink, with my drink, with my drink. So
31:55
if Bobby had that you
31:58
know it's like you know he
32:01
would have gone to any lengths to get a drink.
32:05
But anyway, so the police and
32:07
the witnesses, they all talked about
32:09
that. But I think in the
32:11
end it just came down to he was the
32:14
last person seen with him. And
32:16
there was enough smoke, you know, where there's smoke, there's fire,
32:18
that kind of thing. Yeah. How
32:20
much did you find out about this trial
32:23
and what were your sources? I
32:26
went to PROS or Public
32:28
Records Office of Victoria. Actually
32:31
I didn't go there. I got online, found
32:33
out what files I needed
32:35
and I ordered them and they digitised them
32:37
and sent them to me. Fantastic.
32:40
But of course in doing that, then
32:42
they're also available to the public as
32:44
well. Which is great. I mean they're
32:46
always available to the public but someone
32:48
had to pay to get them digitised.
32:51
Yeah. I do that too
32:53
with National Archives files. I pay to have
32:55
them digitised and I think well it's giving
32:58
something back because then they're available to everybody
33:00
forever which is great when they're 100 page
33:02
files or whatever. Those PROS
33:04
capital case files are amazing aren't
33:07
they? Because you see original letters,
33:09
memos, all sorts of material. What did
33:11
you find in there? I think
33:13
the two things that really stood out
33:16
to me was
33:19
the antecedents. So his priors
33:22
and the
33:25
letter that he wrote
33:27
from Ararat jail I think
33:29
it was. It was either
33:31
Ararat or Hamilton. I can't remember
33:33
where he was remanded between being
33:36
found guilty and being sentenced. But
33:38
it was described in the media
33:40
as a long rambling letter and
33:43
I liked seeing that
33:45
and seeing his signature. With
33:48
the long rambling letter what
33:50
stood out for you and what did you feel as you
33:52
read it? Just
33:58
let's play maybe. everybody else. Right.
34:02
There was no acknowledgement at all of any
34:04
failings that he had. Not,
34:07
I think so. I'd have to reread it
34:10
with that in mind, but no. Make
34:12
you feel that he was likely
34:15
guilty? Yeah,
34:21
he didn't say he wasn't guilty, but
34:23
at the same time, he
34:25
didn't really come up with any defence
34:28
to counter everything that was said against
34:30
him, other than to
34:32
say they were lying. When you say his
34:35
aunties didn't, are these his prior convictions
34:37
or offences? Yeah. What
34:39
had they on him before this?
34:43
Nothing. Just pretty much
34:45
bad character and
34:47
a little bit of drunken disorderly. So
34:50
reading that first trial evidence, did you
34:52
think the jury were expected to convict?
34:56
Yeah, I think so. So it
34:58
was a surprise when they didn't convict, but
35:00
more of a surprise when Burns was re-arrested
35:02
immediately and put on time again. Yeah.
35:05
I think when I read all of that, I
35:08
was still processing it myself. And
35:13
part of the reason why I wanted to go through it
35:15
was, did he do it or didn't he? And
35:18
what about family? I was more
35:21
interested in Alan and the
35:24
children, to be honest, than
35:26
him. And I did wonder
35:28
about his motives. But that's
35:31
the criminology side of me. When you
35:33
look at Robert's photograph, which is available in
35:35
the Public Records Office of Victoria's files, what
35:37
do you think when you look at him?
35:41
When I look into his eyes, I
35:44
can actually see a lot of
35:46
sadness. And I
35:49
also feel there's some kind of
35:51
awful trauma in
35:53
his background. And that's what I'd like to
35:55
get to the bottom of, but it's really
35:58
hard to go back that far. in
36:01
Ireland. It is for sure. But
36:03
yes. Did he have a brutal father?
36:05
The chances are that he
36:07
probably did. Trauma and brutality
36:10
were almost the regular upbringings
36:12
for people at this time
36:14
subjected to war and criminal
36:16
violence and poverty and famine and so
36:18
on. I mean obviously it
36:20
wasn't recognised at the time that this was shaping
36:22
them. I mean not everyone
36:25
that goes through trauma becomes a serial killer.
36:28
Of course not. In July 1883,
36:31
a phrenologist weighed in on Bobby
36:34
Burns writing Hanging Ned
36:36
Kelly delving into this pseudoscience and how
36:38
it led to the waxworks was
36:41
one of the most colourful and intriguing angles
36:43
to colonial Victoria. What
36:45
did this head reader have to say about Burns?
36:48
I think he was cherry
36:50
picking and trying to make
36:52
it look like Burns' head
36:54
fit the criminal profile. The
36:57
other thing too is there was another article
36:59
that called Burns a phrenologist
37:02
and they were watching him when they
37:05
were doing the jury selection and
37:07
they were describing his darting eyes
37:10
and the calculating way he was
37:12
choosing the people and
37:14
yeah and I thought that was very
37:16
interesting. So he was an amateur bumpologist
37:20
as they called them, scanning the
37:22
bumps of the jury's heads to
37:24
work out which people
37:26
would be more likely to acquit
37:29
him. Yeah. It worked the
37:31
first time perhaps. Yeah and
37:33
then the other weird thing I found when I was
37:36
looking at Trove, at some stage
37:40
Victoria Police, they sent a whole lot
37:42
of files over to Professor, I think
37:44
it was Lombosco, overseas
37:48
for him to do a phrenological
37:50
study on some of
37:53
the criminals including Ned Kelly. Yeah,
37:55
yeah, yeah it was still even though it had
37:57
been pretty much discredited by the 1880s. nationally.
38:01
Victoria in particular was still
38:03
loving the phrenology. That's
38:05
because we had all the criminals in the
38:08
convicts. Also they were hanging
38:10
a lot of people and hanging like phrenologists
38:12
love nothing better than getting their hands on
38:14
a nice fresh head and the
38:16
way to get a nice fresh head was to
38:18
hang someone and Victoria was still hanging people a
38:20
lot more than they were hanging people in the
38:22
UK and even in New South Wales. So I
38:24
think that had something to do with it.
38:27
That makes complete sense. Per
38:29
capita in the 1850s, Victoria was hanging more
38:31
people than anywhere else in the world. They
38:34
were right into it and that's when
38:36
phrenology really took root in Victoria because
38:38
the phrenologists had this
38:40
endless supply of nice fresh criminal
38:43
heads to run their
38:45
fingers over and feel the bumps and
38:47
then make casts out of and of
38:49
course then the phrenologist so here turned
38:52
that into his sideline business, the waxworks
38:54
which became the chamber of horrors. So
38:56
it was a nice little industry there.
38:58
So Burns didn't get a reprieve. I love
39:01
that you got the executive councils
39:03
sign off on that. You've actually
39:05
got the document there including Graham
39:07
Berry, the premier who also denied
39:10
Ned Kelly clemency. So Burns
39:12
was due to hang on the 25th
39:14
of September at Ararat. Had
39:16
Burns confessed at any point? No,
39:19
unless he'd confessed to
39:21
his priest, the
39:24
spiritual advisor. But I
39:26
think it was actually in, I think I may
39:28
have got this information from you that
39:31
the priests used to just
39:34
make them concentrate on
39:36
their going to the afterlife.
39:39
They did yeah. That was what they
39:41
said. Focus on eternity, nothing else matters now.
39:44
Yeah, so the priest may have known
39:46
something and he wouldn't
39:49
let Burns do a speech from
39:52
the gallows. One way or the
39:54
other. One way or
39:56
the other. There's a lot of
39:59
kind of allusion to
40:01
things that he wrote, but
40:04
most of the ones that there were,
40:06
it was just thanking his solicitors and
40:09
the people that were nice to him.
40:11
Now, speaking of people who are nice to
40:13
him, his wife Ellen, did she come visit?
40:15
Did she stand by him? I mean, it's
40:17
a big thing that your husband and father
40:20
of your five kids are about to swing.
40:22
What was the story there? She
40:24
went and saw him in Melbourne when
40:27
he was on remand and they gave them
40:29
some private time together. I don't
40:32
know that she went to see him in Hamilton,
40:35
but it was a long way for her to
40:37
get there from Stahl with
40:39
five children, but she did go and
40:41
see him when he
40:44
was in Ararat. And when
40:47
she was in there, apparently
40:50
she was very vocal and
40:52
called them all sorts of names.
40:57
And the press were a bit like, oh, you know, she
40:59
shouldn't have done that. And, you know,
41:01
I can completely imagine her, you know,
41:04
imagine someone doing that. Elijah
41:06
Upjohn, the hangman, came up on the train to
41:08
get ready. And in his case, that meant staying
41:10
in the jail and trying not to go out
41:12
and get drunk at least this time. On the
41:15
25th of September, 1883, Robert Burns, aged
41:19
43, father of five children,
41:22
married to Ellen, your great, great
41:24
grandmother, goes to the scaffold.
41:27
Now, Elijah Upjohn could be a little bit
41:29
slipshod with his work. He was not trained.
41:31
He was not very good. He was also
41:33
pretty new to it. He'd only done, I
41:36
think, three executions, including Ned Kelly.
41:39
How did he cope this morning? Well,
41:41
supposedly he was shaking
41:44
and trembling and
41:48
he didn't get the slip knot
41:50
in the right spot. So from
41:52
what I understand, the
41:55
ropes that we see when
41:57
there's a hanging with that big knot in
41:59
it, isn't what they used.
42:02
They had a leather eyelet
42:04
on the end of the rope and
42:07
it went through it and so then
42:09
it just pulled tight. But apparently
42:11
he had that part where it joined
42:13
in the wrong spot,
42:17
which meant that he probably would have
42:19
strangled to death rather than be hung,
42:21
like broken
42:23
neck. And so I
42:26
think it was the water, no, the
42:29
governor, superintendent, he reached over
42:31
and adjusted it. And
42:35
it almost sounds like he must have
42:37
not, like I'm
42:39
probably reading too much into it, but to me
42:41
it sounds kind of like he pushed up John
42:43
out of the way. And later on up John
42:45
was said to say, I was
42:47
trembling because of how I have a
42:50
natural infirmity. But he didn't say
42:52
what that was. He would actually claim
42:54
to have a natural infirmity
42:58
on other occasions as well. But yeah,
43:00
I agree. It was much more likely
43:03
that it was alcoholism because it hadn't
43:05
been detected in the 60 years
43:07
previously in any of the known records and he had
43:09
been a convict. So it might well
43:11
have popped up there or in his previous
43:14
prison record. I think he was drinking, you
43:16
know, and that's again, quite
43:18
understandable given the job that he'd
43:20
taken on in desperation hanging
43:22
and flogging people. Did Burns die on
43:24
the rope quickly and
43:26
cleanly? Yeah. From memory, they said his
43:28
knees jerked and he was, you know,
43:31
dead when he hit the, you
43:33
know, when the rope reached its end.
43:36
And the, at the time
43:39
the legislation was that the body had
43:41
to hang for one hour and
43:44
they locked the doors and locked everybody
43:46
in there with the body. And
43:48
so I've been in the jail and I've
43:50
looked where the scaffold is and
43:53
I've stood underneath it and
43:55
the staircase has been moved.
43:57
If you put the staircase back, I actually.
44:00
believe the body would have been hanging
44:02
in right in that stairwell at the
44:04
bottom of the step. So
44:07
many people wanted to get access to these private
44:09
executions and they would do whatever they could to
44:11
get in there and see it but
44:13
then when they did like a lot of
44:15
them were absolutely horrified and then they were
44:17
stuck in this room with corpse for an
44:20
hour before it was cut
44:22
down. Yeah. Now being
44:24
cut down wasn't the end
44:26
for murderers in colonial Victoria
44:29
so he was given
44:31
the phrenological examination as was
44:33
the practice at the time
44:35
then he was buried in quicklime in
44:38
a murderer's grave. That should
44:40
have been the end of Robert Burns
44:42
but it wasn't was it? No. Why
44:44
was that? What had he allegedly said to
44:47
Up John up there on the platform? So
44:49
Up John said that Burns confessed
44:51
to him on the platform. I've
44:54
cooked eight all together, five
44:57
in Victoria and three in New
44:59
South Wales and now you're going
45:01
to cook me. Whoa.
45:03
So he's confessing to eight murders
45:05
in total including I guess
45:07
the one he's being hanged for, the
45:09
one he was acquitted on, the
45:12
poisoning that they couldn't pin on
45:14
him and then five more besides.
45:17
Yes. He was prolific. Did
45:19
the authorities believe
45:21
Up John? No. Nobody
45:23
believed Up John. They
45:26
said he made it up for
45:28
notoriety. Yeah. The reporter
45:31
that was there that didn't hear it
45:33
was most put out and you know
45:35
just said it couldn't have happened. What's
45:38
interesting is that the governor of
45:40
Melbourne Jail John Buckley
45:42
Castillo reporting on
45:44
a 1872 hanging he compared
45:46
what the journalist wrote standing
45:49
down below about the guy
45:51
on the platform being really calm and
45:54
bold and all the rest of it and
45:56
he said they can't see what I can
45:58
see they can't hear what I can hear
46:00
because I'm right there and he said the guy was
46:03
much afraid and trembling. So a journalist
46:05
down below saying that you know
46:07
Bobby Burns hadn't said anything, quite
46:09
likely just couldn't see or hear what was
46:12
going on. Yeah, well
46:15
I believe one of the
46:17
jail officials said no, he would
46:20
not have had a chance to speak
46:22
without us hearing. But up
46:24
John said the officials
46:27
were busy doing the bits that they had
46:29
to do and the priest was
46:31
administering the last rites. And
46:33
also up John's his job once the noose
46:35
is in place is to lower the cap
46:38
which means he's got to have his hands
46:40
on the guy's head and be that close.
46:42
So if anyone was going
46:44
to hear something said softly or quietly it would
46:46
be him. And I actually I'm
46:48
not sure whether it was when he was pinioning him or
46:51
you know tying his hands
46:53
behind his back. Yeah it was
46:55
one of those stages but the
46:57
officials all said no, that
46:59
it couldn't possibly have happened. Now
47:02
you have an interesting theory about how
47:04
up John how both things might have
47:06
been true in the sense that up John had
47:08
heard it but he
47:10
hadn't heard from Burns at that
47:12
time. So I love this idea could
47:14
you tell me what your theory is? Okay
47:17
so one thing when I
47:19
read through it and a while
47:21
ago I did a bit of research on all
47:23
of the hangman because I found them all fascinating.
47:26
And so everyone
47:29
was saying couldn't be true but
47:31
up John actually did an affidavit
47:33
to say it was and
47:35
I don't know why but I
47:37
actually believe up John was quite a truthful man.
47:39
Me too. He'd spent a lot
47:42
of his time working as a night
47:44
man in Ballarat which is
47:46
you know collecting people's poo. He'd had small
47:48
businesses. I've read his letters to counsel. He
47:50
was quite an erudite fellow and I do
47:52
agree that I don't think he was someone
47:55
who would just make this up for no
47:57
reason. I mean he didn't really stand to
47:59
gain anything. from it, that's for sure. No.
48:02
And what do you think? So he's stuck to
48:04
his guns. He wrote an affidavit. He kind of
48:06
like almost gave a press conference, didn't he? I
48:09
think so, yeah. But then
48:11
someone interviewed one of
48:13
the maintenance groundskeepers at
48:15
the Ararat jail. And
48:20
this person said that Upjohn
48:23
had actually told him that the
48:25
night before the hanging. Right, so he
48:28
couldn't have said it. He couldn't have learned it on
48:30
the day of the execution. No,
48:32
and apparently it's word
48:34
for word. So how was it
48:37
possible then for Upjohn to have gleaned this?
48:40
Well, I knew that Upjohn had a criminal
48:43
history and I know
48:45
there's a jail grapevine. And
48:47
I knew that Robert had been in, remanded
48:51
in Melbourne and was probably at Old
48:53
Melbourne jail. So then I went looking
48:55
to see if they were
48:58
in there at the same time or
49:00
something like that. So
49:03
what I did find was Robert
49:05
left Old Melbourne jail to
49:08
be sent to Hamilton in
49:11
August, 1882, I think it was. Upjohn
49:17
went into prison, sorry,
49:19
went into Old Melbourne jail middle
49:22
of September for obscene exposure
49:24
to two women in Coburg.
49:28
Everyone was following this case. It was
49:31
huge. If you're looking in Trove, there's
49:33
over 600 entries. And
49:37
so Upjohn would have known about
49:40
Burns. So he would have
49:42
likely been thinking to himself, there's
49:44
a good chance I'm gonna hang this man. And
49:48
I know I would have done my due diligence
49:50
if I was in the jail and I would
49:52
have asked around the
49:54
other prisoners. And I
49:56
don't know what Upjohn's reputation was
49:58
in the jail. did they think he
50:00
was a snitch? Did they think he was a
50:02
lag because he was the hangman? I don't
50:05
know. But you know, he may
50:07
have spoken to someone that
50:10
said that, you know, that was
50:12
what Burns had said. So, you
50:14
know, maybe Burns was big noting
50:17
himself in the jail. And
50:21
I think that if that was the case,
50:24
that up John felt a duty to let
50:27
everyone know that Burns actually
50:29
deserved to be hung. Right.
50:31
So we don't
50:33
really know whether Burns had said it
50:35
or not, or whether up to it,
50:37
heard it directly or not. But
50:40
what did they do in terms of
50:42
investigating his claims? Not
50:44
look, it doesn't seem like there was
50:47
a real lot. I think the police
50:49
probably thought there was no point investing
50:52
more resources into the man who was
50:54
already dead. Not like you could hang him again.
50:56
No. And because there were
51:00
so many unidentified
51:04
bodies found out in the bush, because, you know,
51:06
there was a lot of men that came out
51:08
here on their own with no, no family. So
51:11
what did one of the journalists from the Herald do?
51:14
One of them did some investigation.
51:16
I'm not sure where he got his
51:18
information from. But the headline
51:21
was Burns's confession
51:24
sustained. Now
51:26
these days, the actual list of
51:28
supposed victims, I mean, it reads
51:30
from in my estimation,
51:33
quite likely the as in
51:35
the MOs are pretty similar to
51:38
fairly speculative. But
51:40
at the time from the Herald, it
51:42
was agreed that Burns had killed many
51:46
if not all of these eight people. Like
51:50
for one that they were
51:52
pretty sure that he did
51:54
it was pretty sure it was
51:56
another headless body naked body they found
51:58
in Wagga Wagga. And
52:01
apparently he, they
52:03
believe he had been working up there at the
52:05
time. The locals remembered
52:07
him, his picture, the
52:10
public can remember him and
52:12
the railway
52:14
contractor, they were doing
52:16
the cuttings in the railway line. He said,
52:19
yes, he worked for me, but
52:22
he didn't have the payroll sheets anymore.
52:24
Right. So there was
52:26
no actual real evidence that he'd been
52:28
there. Yeah. But the, the
52:30
MO was the same. But even after Burns
52:32
was executed, there was still a bunch of
52:35
people being found headless in the bush. What
52:37
is absolutely astounding in addition to
52:39
you finding via ancestry that
52:42
you're related to Robert
52:44
Burns is you've also discovered you're
52:46
related to Elijah Uption and to
52:48
one of the victims. I mean,
52:50
this is crazy. Yeah,
52:52
through marriage. Okay. Yeah.
52:56
It's very married here. That's like six
52:58
degrees of separation over 140 years. It's quite,
53:00
quite crazy. Uption
53:04
is someone on my mother's side. Yeah.
53:07
So like, you know, a great,
53:09
great aunt married someone in his
53:11
family and I'm also
53:14
related by marriage through
53:16
my father's side to
53:19
the victim, Michael Quinlivan. You
53:21
got it. That is absolutely incredible. So how
53:24
has all of this left you feeling? It's
53:28
still a bit bewildered. I
53:30
can understand that. Now you've
53:32
compiled a wonderful 300 page
53:35
collection of archival materials. What do you
53:37
intend to do with that, Julie? So
53:40
I think what I'm going to do
53:42
is maybe pretty much leave it in
53:44
the format that it's in, in the
53:46
chronological order, and get
53:48
permission to use all the, all
53:50
the bits and just publish it as it is. Because
53:54
I'm sure there's other people out there
53:56
that just like to do a deep
53:58
dive research into a particular area. subject
54:01
and this they can do this without having to
54:03
do all the trawling through the search
54:06
engines. Fantastic well let me
54:08
know when it's available and I will let
54:10
everybody know. Julie thank
54:12
you so much. I'm
54:16
