The locating of the newspaper publisher was a simple task . An hour after lunch , Charley reported Brown as in his New York office . `` Very well , '' said Enoch , `` telegraph him that we will meet him at his office at nine to-night . We will take the three o'clock train and return at midnight . '' It was not quite nine o'clock when Enoch and Charley entered Hancock Brown 's office . The building was buzzing with newspaper activities , but the publisher 's office was quiet . A sleepy office attendant was awaiting them .
