about
four o'clock
Yesterday afternoon , I do n't know what possessed me , but I felt drawn down-town for some reason . I wanted to see if anything was going on down here . I knew we had made that bid Saturday , and I wondered if anybody would try to get it on Sunday . So I came down about four o'clock , and I saw a man sneak out of the front door of this office . I followed him as swiftly as I could and as quietly , for I did n't want to give the alarm until I knew more . The man did not see me as he turned to go up the steps of the elevated railroad station . At the corner I saw his face . ''
