ten o'clock
That man saw my father lying there , and he crept away without giving the slightest alarm . You may sneer , you may say that such a thing is impossible , that the man I allude to would have nothing to gain by such a course ; but as I said before , I am going to prove it . Look at this telegram I hold in my hand . It was sent before ten o'clock to-day to the person to whom it is addressed . It evidently relates to some Stock Exchange business . The address is quite clear ; the time the telegram was delivered is quite clear , too ; and by the side of my father 's body I found the telegram , which could only have been dropped there by the party to whom it was addressed . So that party knew that my father was dead , and that party made no alarm .
