two o'clock in the morning
The evidence was undeniable . Once apprised the accomplices in Paris hastened to make their arrangements . At ten o'clock in the evening they sent their celebrity by National Road No. 14 , which skirts the forest of Arques and ends at Dieppe . During this time , under cover of the fire which they themselves had caused , the gang of burglars carried off their leader and moved him to an inn , where the operation took place on the arrival of the surgeon , at two o'clock in the morning . About that there was no doubt . At Pontoise , at Gournay , at Forges , Chief-inspector Ganimard , who was sent specially from Paris , with Inspector Folenfant , as his assistant , ascertained that a motor car had passed in the course of the previous night . The same on the road from Dieppe to Ambrumesy .
