The problem is that as described, it did take longer. Where is Stride just before Schwartz enters Berner St, and one minute before, and two minutes before, etc? Then where is she one minute after Schwartz leaves Berner St, two minutes, etc? What about the BS-man? Does Pipeman return to Berner St? How is the beginning and end of the incident defined?
I still think that if the Schwartz incident happened, and I think most likely it did, the most likely time for it to have happened is right before Mortimer came to her door.
Note that in this timeline, Mortimer goes to her door "with the intention of shooting the bolts" at about 12:40, or slightly later. So, around the time Eagle supposed he returned to the club, and the time most reports have Lave re-entering to the club. We have Brown returning from the chandler's shop and seeing a couple at the board school corner - probably the young sweethearts - who claimed to have been there about 20 minutes before becoming aware of the situation. We have Spooner further to the east on Fairclough St, and we have people in the kitchen behind a half-closed door. All of them oblivious to what Schwartz describes.
