RoTHsoHILD's HISTORY.

Rothschild is the son of wealthy
ieweler, who does business con
Fourth street, Cincinnati. He is
now about twenty. three years old.
The most known about his life is
that he was a wild, dissipated young
fellow, and was disowned by his
parents during the year preceding
the murder. AT one time he was a
travelling salesman for a New York
notion house, but lost his position
through dissipation.
After leaving Jefferson he went
to Memphis, aud thence to New
York, and afterward returned to
Cincinnati. When the detectives
learned his whereabouts in this
city, they instructed a saloon-keeper
at a place where Rothschild fire.
quented to ask him what had be-
come of his sweetheart. Rothschild
replied that he didn't know; that
he had heard that she had COM
mitted suicide somewhere down
South. Shortly after this he went
directly across the street into an
open yard, and made the attempt
at suicide. He had been drinking
during the day, and was consider
ably excited. When he became
conscious, and was asked why he
shot himself, he replied that two
men had been following him all
day, and he couldn't get rid Of
them.
The difficulties encountered by
the Texas officials in getting him
out of his fathers house, to the
hospital and out of the State, are
well known to most of the read.

Sketch of the Terrible Crime of Abe
RothsehIid, New On EFlAi at Jef.
1ersOn, Texas.
Dallas (Texas) Commercial.
The trial Of Abe Rothschild for
the murder of Bessie Moore, in the
District Court Of Jefferson, is set
for to-day. Whether or not the
trial will proceed is doubtful, as it
is known that the attorneys for the
accused intend to ask for a contiu-
ance or a change of venue.
AS many of the readers Of the
Commercial have entered the State
since the terrible tragedy was COM
mitted and are not familiar with
the facts, a brief history of it is
given for their benefit.
During the latter part Of Janu-
airy Rothschild went to Jefferson
in company with a lady, and regis
tered at the Brooks House as A..
Monroe and wife. This was on
Friday. On Saturday they were
seen together in the city, the wo-
man attracting much attention on
account Of her beauty. On the
same day Rothschild purchased a
pistol at a hardware or gun store.
On Sunday, about IL o'clock, the
pair visited Kate Woods restau-
rant, where they ordered some re-
freshments, and shortly afterward
left, taking some lunch with them,
They were seen crossing the bridge
over the bayou, apparently on their
way to the woods.
In the afternoon Rothschild re-
turned to the hotel alone, and in
answers to inquiries about his wife
made some rather conflicting state
ments. He remained in Jefferson
until Tuesday morning, as no pas
senger train left until that time
Two weeks afterward the body oi
the young woman was found in the
woods with a bullet-hole in the
forehead. Fragments of the lunch
which had been taken from the
restaurant were found near hel
body, and the dress was the same al
that seen upon her person when she
went to the woods. These circum.
stances pointed strongly to Roths
child as the murderer, and detec
tives were at once put upon his
track. He was finally captured il
Cincinnati, just after an unsuccess
full attempt at suicide, which wa,
apparently intended to be some
thing of a sensation, as it was made
on principal street in front of ;
large business house. By this at
tempt he lost his right eye.
A determined effort was made b,
his friends to prevent the officers O
the law from delivering him to tn,
authorities Of Texas, but he wa
finally hurried over into Indian;
and brought to Jefferson anC
lodged in Jail, where he has sine,
remained.
