seven o'clock Monday morning
The city editor told them he would communicate with the `` chief '' Sunday and instructed them to report for duty earlier than usual Monday morning . `` We 'll probably break the story Monday , '' said P. Q. `` We 'll shoot everything we have : Gallant 's story of the framed raid on the Spring street bookmakers , how the ` Gink ' regulated crime to give Gibson a reputation ; the affidavits of ` Big Jim ' Hatch and his wife and give it the finishing touch with Benton 's photograph . Of course , we 'll have Smith 's verbatim report . Arrange with him to have it ready for us without fail by seven o'clock Monday morning . One of you get an affidavit from Murphy , telling his whole story . You 've blown the lid off things this time , all right , boys . '' Murphy left them before they telephoned to P. Q. , so it was impossible for them to arrange with him to meet one of them before Monday .
