eight o'clock
`` What do you think of that -- a robbery below the deadline -- and in Langhorne 's office , too . '' I hurried out of my room and glanced at the papers , also . 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 .
