about eight o'clock
Sure enough , there it was : SAFE ROBBED IN WALL ST. OFFICE Door Into Office of Langhorne & Westlake , Brokers , Forced and Safe Robbed . One of the strangest robberies ever perpetrated was pulled off last night in the office of Langhorne & Westlake , the brokers , at ----- Wall Street , some time during the regular closing time of the office and eight o'clock . Mr. Langhorne had returned to his office after dining with some friends in order to work on some papers . When he arrived , about eight o'clock , he found that the door had been forced . The office was in darkness , but when he switched on the lights it was discovered that the office safe had been entered . Nothing was said about the manner in which the safe robbery was perpetrated , but it is understood to have been very peculiar . So far no details have been announced and the robbery was not reported to the police until a late hour .
