eleven
o’clock
One of the six , a man who kept a tavern at Santa Sabina , immediately began to relate that his wife had heard a carriage stop near the tavern , in the middle of the night ; she had gone to the window , and had seen a private carriage , with coachman and footman in tall hats . The footman , standing at the carriage door , was helping some one to alight . The person who got out had then walked past the window , going towards Sant ' Anselmo , and she had recognised in him the Saint of Jenne . The tavern-keeper added that he had not believed she had really recognised him , for there was no moon , and it had rained until after eleven o'clock , so the night must have been quite dark ; therefore he had not spoken . But when he had heard this story at the police-station , he had been convinced . Besides , his wife could tell something more . She had risen at six .
