Johannes Jensen fra Stenild ved Hobro (1801-1870). Før han begyndte at røve, havde han været i lære som skomager og urmager. Han var snu og lumsk og en af de mest fremtrædende af "Røverne fra Rold", som hans bande kendtes som. Navnet Bettefanden havde han fået fordi han ikke var særlig høj, og fordi han havde vist sig med horn, dvs. havde iført sig kohud med horn til et røveri for ikke at blive genkendt, og offeret troede, at det var Fanden selv, der var på spil, og var blevet skræmt fra vid og sans. Det fortælles om ham, at når han en lørdag nat havde begået et vellykket røveri, gik han om søndagen til gudstjeneste i Stenild Kirke og lagde ansigtet i de rette fromme folder. Han havde kortvarige fængselsophold for at have begået hor med bl.a. bandens offentlige fruentimmer Ane Marie Klottrup.
I "Den store Comissionssag" blev han dømt til fængsel på livstid og kagstrygning på Torvet i Aalborg, hvor byens kag stod (kag = en skampæl, søjle af træ eller sten til hvilken forbrydere blev lænket og pisket, kaldet kagstrygning). Bettefanden blev kongeligt benådet i 1864.

Johannes Jensen of Stenild near Hobro (1801-1870). Before starting his career of robbery he had been an apprentice cobbler and watchmaker. He was crafty and treacherous and one of the most notorious "Robbers of Rold" as his gang was known. He got the name Little Devil because he was not very tall and because he had shown himself wearing horns, that is, he had donned the hide of a cow for a robbery in order not to be recognized. The victim thought it was the Devil himself at work and had been frightened out of his mind. It is told of him that when on a Saturday he had committed a successful robbery he would, on the Sunday, go to services at the church in Stenild having assumed an appropriately pious expression. He spent various short periods in prison for fornication with, among others, the gang’s harlot Ane Marie Klottrup.
In "The Great Commission Trial" he was sentenced to life in prison and to be flogged in the town square of Aalborg at the city "kag" (kag  = a pole of shame, pillar of wood or stone, to which criminals were chained to be flogged). Little Devil received a royal pardon in 1864.

(1800-1878) was born in Aalborg. He trained as a cobbler in Aalborg and worked as a cobbler’s apprentice in Randers. He led a wild and costly night life and had to get money, so he committed his first burglary at his employer’s in Aalborg and went to prison. After serving his sentence he returned to Aalborg where his life of crime accelerated, and he became feared throughout northern Jutland. He was known for breaking out of prison and is supposed to have done so by using a saw-toothed object, which he had hidden in his mouth, as a lock pick. In "The Great Commission Trial" he was sentenced to public flogging and life in prison on Holmen in Copenhagen, but was pardoned in 1864.
