About seven o'clock
Scarcely had Beasley commenced to turn the leaves of the book before his eye caught a familiar face , and , jumping from his seat , he said : `` That 's the big fellow . '' `` This was Tettman , '' they said , `` one of the most accomplished safe workers in the State , and the little red-headed fellow , whom you describe , is Reddy Jackson , a quiet hard-working robber , though not as renowned as the former . '' The officers assured us that it these men were in Dayton , they would be only too happy to find and deliver them to us , and with this end in view every policeman in Dayton was notified to search for them , and to run them in if possible , while Beasley in high glee took a position on a prominent corner to scan the passing throngs . About seven o'clock that evening word came over the wire to head-quarters that Tettman and Jackson had been safely landed in one of the station houses . It was quickly arranged to remove them to the county jail , a more secure place , and it was desired to have Beasley stand just outside the door of the station house , so that when the prisoners were marched out to enter the patrol wagon , he might get a good look at them under an electric light , and thereby make sure that they were the ones we wanted . When they passed him he turned to the crowd , and with much complacency said : `` Them 's the fellows . '' Afterward , while interviewing one of the officers who made the arrest , as the men were coming out of a notorious saloon , he told us that when he told Tettman that he wanted him , Tettman instantly put a piece of paper in his mouth and commenced to chew it .
