eleven o'clock
Thrown into prison , and caged like a savage beast in a little cell hardly large enough to turn around in , has been my lot ever since that awful tragedy . The case attracted widespread interest , and the newspapers teemed with sensational accounts of it . At the trial , all of the evidence pointed directly to me as the perpetrator of the deed . The elevator operator swore that I was the man whom he had taken to Arletta 's apartments shortly after eleven o'clock that night . The watchman testified that he saw me leave her room at three o'clock in the morning . On the stand , I was made to tell , under oath , that Arletta and I had been lovers ; that we had been together that same night in the park , and had parted at about half past ten o'clock ; that she had informed me of her intention to never see me again . By these statements the prosecuting attorney showed the motive for the crime .
