about nine o'clock
It was one of the old ones that face the street . There was a narrow window in it , about eight feet above the floor , and no means of his reaching it , even if he stood on a chair . We stationed two troopers before the door , and sent out to a café across the street for our dinners . I finished mine about nine o'clock , and said ` Good night ' to Stuart , and started to come out here . I went across the street first , however , to give the restaurant man some orders about Burke 's breakfast . It is a narrow street , you know , with a long garden-wall and a row of little shops on one side , and with the jail-wall taking up all of the other side . The street was empty when I left the jail , except for the sentry on guard in front of it , but just as I was leaving the restaurant I saw one of Stuart 's police come out and peer up and down the street and over at the shops .
