eight in the evening
The next day we were busy with the trucks ; towards evening all of them were in shape including the Number 74-M in which you ordered the change of magneto , and ready to move . So you see -- _ we have done what you ordered _ , and if all happened so that we could not foresee , it was not my fault , nor Syvorotka 's , nor Phillip 's . All the day of the 16th the investigation continued , and the Commissaries asked for the E * * * * twice ; once four men went to Ipatiev 's ; their conduct was outrageous . At eight in the evening I was on my post in the red house , the wires were working fine and Philip answered . Nachman 's place answered too . At nine I signalled to the Ipatiev 's , and Princess waved `` all well , '' but could not continue for a Red came to the window and shut it with a bayonet . It had already begun to get very dark , so I phoned again to Philip and Syvorotka and asked them whether they had orders to start .
