ten o’clock
The prefect notified the director of the jury , the commissary of the government , and the public prosecutor , who , after a statement made to them by Malin , arrested Marthe , while she was still in bed at the Durieu 's house in the suburbs . Mademoiselle de Cinq-Cygne , who was only at liberty under bail , was also snatched from one of the few hours of slumber she had been able to obtain at rare intervals in the course of her ceaseless anxiety , and taken to the prefecture to undergo an examination . An order to keep the accused from holding any communication with each other or with their counsel was sent to the prison . At ten o'clock the crowd which assembled around the courtroom were informed that the trial was postponed until one o'clock in the afternoon of the same day . This change of hour , following on the news of the senator 's deliverance , Marthe 's arrest , and that of Mademoiselle de Cinq-Cygne , together with the denial of the right to communicate with the prisoners carried terror to the hotel de Chargeboeuf . The whole town and the spectators who had come to Troyes to be present at the trial , the short-hand writers for the daily journals , even the populace were in a ferment which can readily be imagined . The Abbe Goujet came at ten o'clock to see Monsieur and Madame d'Hauteserre and the counsel for the defence , who were breakfasting -- as well as they could under the circumstances .
