two in the
morning
This fresh development has shown me that I was completely mistaken . Full of the one idea , I set myself to find out what had become of the Secretary . They had been seen together at Euston Station about half-past eight on the evening of the third . At two in the morning Drebber had been found in the Brixton Road . The question which confronted me was to find out how Stangerson had been employed between 8.30 and the time of the crime , and what had become of him afterwards . I telegraphed to Liverpool , giving a description of the man , and warning them to keep a watch upon the American boats . I then set to work calling upon all the hotels and lodging-houses in the vicinity of Euston .
