He was finally captured at the Glenrowan pub - later hung at Old Melbourne Jail.
He was captured during the Glenrowan Seige. Ned and his gang had planned to derail a police train and kill all the policemen on board, including the Queensland black trackers who had been running him down, but a school master (Curnow) escaped from the pub where Ned was buying drinks for the townspeople (who were being held as hostages so to protect them from the danger) and alerted authorities.
The train was stopped before it was derailed and Ned, Joe and Dan Kelly and Steve Hart were eventually surrounded in the pub along with the hostages. After the police superintendent was shot, the leaderless police fired indiscriminately at hostages trying to leave the pub until one of the constables threatened to shoot the sergeant (Steele) who was leading this murderous fire.
The armour the gang wore was well constructed, but did not cover their arms or legs, which the policemen quickly figured out and aimed for. Joe, Steve and Dan all lost their lives during this night, and Ned was captured, badly wounded from the fighting (Steele again had to be threatened with being shot as he attempted to murder the captured Ned).
While the conduct of some of the police was criminal, this did not apply to all. Nor does it discount the murderous careers of the gang.
Ned was transported by train to the Melbourne Gaol, where he awaited trial and was then hanged - his final words "Such is life".
