The Governors, Dungog Chronicle: Durham and Gloucester Advertiser, 31 July 1900, page 2; the source also states "Jimmy was sent to the training ship Vernon", a claim that seems unlikely given the short sentence and the distance between Dunedoo and Sydney, and not least because the Vernon reformatory training ship moored at Cockatoo Island was decommissioned in 1892 (replaced by another ship, the Sobraon) – refer to [Mark Dunn (2008).

Statement by Jimmy Governor, Wellington Times, 26 November 1900, page 3. The number of people who left the camp that night prior to the murders has been the subject of speculation due to contradictory statements and evidence from various parties (some of which probably had the intention of mitigating guilt). See also: "The Breelong Horror". Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate. 25 July 1900. p. 2.; in describing Ethel's supposed second-hand account of the Breelong murders, the writer comments that the "details given by her are so minute and tally so closely with some of the ascertained facts that they almost seem to have been gathered by one who was an actual eye-witness of the deeds". Before she died, Sarah Mawbey said she only saw Jimmy and Underwood, but added that "I could hear more outside; I could hear all of them" ["Fearful Murders at Breelong". Dubbo Dispatch and Wellington Independent. 25 July 1900. p. 2.]. Mrs. Mawbey also "positively stated that she heard a woman's voice outside while the men were striking the victims" ["Further Sensational Murders: The Gilgandra Tragedy". Sydney Morning Herald. 25 July 1900. p. 8.].
