What did Captain Moonlite do?

Captain Moonlite was one of Australia's notorious bushrangers. Captain Moonlite/Moonlight, aka Andrew George Scott, was originally a preacher at the small Victorian town of Egerton. He was an admirer of Ned Kelly, and he made a sudden decision to become a bushranger. His first target was the manager of the Egerton Bank, who was fully aware of Scott's identity. Scott tied him up, with orders to tell police he had been robbed by Captain Moonlight. Scott was caught and imprisoned at Ballarat. After he was releaseed from gaol, he continued his new bushranging career. He recruited several other gang members and walked to New South Wales. Some stories claim he was hoping to find employment at Wantabadgery Station, well known for its hospitality. Being in the grip of a severe drought, and also having changed hands, Wantabadgery could offer them nothing. In desperation, Moonlite took 35 people hostage. In the resultant shootout with police on 18 November 1879, gang members James Nesbitt and Augustus Wernicke, together with Constable Bowen, were all shot dead. Moonlite and the surviving gang members were tried and charged with the murder of Constable Bowen. Moonlite was hanged on 20 January 1880 at Darlinghurst Court.
