three o'clock
I told Mr. Holcombe , and he interviewed Joe Maguire that afternoon . The upshot of it was that Tommy had been correctly informed . Joe had witnesses who had lined up to see him rescue a dog , and had beheld his return in triumph with a wet and soggy fur coat . At three o'clock Mrs. Maguire , instructed by Mr. Graves , brought the coat to me for identification , turning it about for my inspection , but refusing to take her hands off it . `` If her husband says to me that he wants it back , well and good , '' she said , `` but I do n't give it up to nobody but him . Some folks I know of would be glad enough to have it . '' I was certain it was Jennie Brice 's coat , but the maker 's name had been ripped out .
