about eight until ten
It was at nine o'clock in the morning . Now at nine o'clock of every morning in the week , _ with the exception of Sunday _ , the streets of the city are , it is true , thronged with people . At nine on Sunday , the populace are chiefly within doors _ preparing for church _ . No observing person can have failed to notice the peculiarly deserted air of the town , from about eight until ten on the morning of every Sabbath . Between ten and eleven the streets are thronged , but not at so early a period as that designated . `` There is another point at which there seems a deficiency of observation on the part of Le Commerciel . ` A piece , ' it says , ` of one of the unfortunate girl 's petticoats , two feet long , and one foot wide , was torn out and tied under her chin , and around the back of her head , probably to prevent screams .
