He spoke in a broad Irish brogue about leaving Tyrone for America, working on Long Island farms, the navy, and finally settling in New York, asserting his savings and frugal life built the fortune. Superintendent Dunphy notes Kelly remains the wealthiest vagrant seen, describing his appearance and conditions at the workhouse.
