The Jefferson murderer seems at last
to have been found in Cincinnati, where
he lately attempted suicide. The En-
qatrsr. IN speak, Z of this terrible mur-
der, and after quoting the sheriff''s de-
tail of the crime, asks who was the
murdered woman?
On this subject there appears to be
but one opinion, and :hat is that she
was girl named Bessie Moore, of New
Orleans. Rothschild had a mistress
who bore this name here last fall, aud
for awhile he kept her in a boarding
house situated ON Race street. Just
below Seventh. After that she became
an inmate Of Frank Wrights Hiaisoa ID

was constantly visited 10y Rothscbild,
who was, III the parlance OF these
establishments, known az her " friend. "
She and Rothschild quarreled like cats
and dogs though they seemed unable
to separate for good The girl had the
reputation of having some money, and
had quite q quantity of diamonds, and
it was SAID that she bad had great
many more of the valuable Jewels.
She had often accused Rothschiid of

and said that he wanted her to give him
what remained of them. Among these
was valuable diamond ring, similar to
the one described in our Texas dispatch
When at Mrs Wrights house she had
the reputation of being a common
drunkard, though it was evident that
she had come from good family and

feet were remarkably small and well
made, though her voice had been
ruined by disease She remained at
Frank Wrights house until the first
week in December, when her conduct

Frank Halls, but she gave him terri

report. it seems, WAS erroneous.

in December, the boy wac attends the

going home met Rothschild and Bessie
Moore just in front of the Public
Library. Both were drunk. and Rolhs-
child was pummeling his companion in
a shameful manner. The boy said
Here, stop that: leave that woman
alone. Bothschild replied by pulling
revolver out OF his pocket and point

point that at me, Rothschild. I'll have
you arrested" Rothschili then ~ecoe-
nized him, and said, Hello, is that YOU?
Thatll be all right" The lad was mad
and determined to have him arrested.
He accordingly followed the pair
who turned east ON Sixth street.
Rothsehiid continued whipping
the woman, and when they
reached the convent wall on Sixth, near
Broadway, ne knocked her down. She
got up and both walked to Frank
