five o'clock in the evening
I have to ascertain when , and at what exact moment , one Jérôme Fandor took the personality of Corporal Vinson ! '' ... `` I have already told you , Commandant ! ... Please read my deposition of the day before yesterday . I will recapitulate : `` Sunday , November 13th , at five o'clock in the evening , at my domicile , rue Richer , I received the visit of a soldier whom I did not know . He stated that he was called Corporal Vinson , and informed me that he had become part and parcel of the spy system ; that he regretted it , and , not being able to extricate himself , he was going to commit suicide ... . Desiring to give this unfortunate a chance of rehabilitating himself , desiring also to come to close quarters with this gang of spies , I decided to assume his personality , and take advantage of his entrance into a regiment where he was not known , and to go there in his place . It was in these conditions that I left eight days after , on Sunday , November 20th , for Verdun . ''
