The man 's name was Harrigan . Nick took Gaspard with him and went to the house where Harrigan boarded . `` I got on to him easy enough , '' said Patsy , whom they found outside the house . `` I found the policeman who was on that beat last night , and got him to give me a list of all the night-hawks he 'd seen around there up to eight o'clock of the evening . `` Then I began to chase up the fellows on that list .
