	Diamond Bessie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diamond Bessie is the popular name given to Bessie Moore, née Annie Stone, a prostitute whose murder in the woods outside of Jefferson, Texas propelled her to the level of local legend.
		Bessie was born in 1854 in Syracuse, New York, and the abundance of attention from men resulting from her striking beauty is said to have led her down the proverbial "wayward path" at a young age.
		Diamond Bessie's grave in Jefferson's Oakwood Cemetery is a popular tourist attraction; unmarked for years, it bears a tombstone reputedly installed in the night by an unknown admirer.

	Handbook of Texas Online: DIAMOND BESSIE MURDER TRIAL
		Bessie was born Annie Stone to a successful shoe dealer in Syracuse, New York, in 1854.
		After determining that Monroe had left on an eastbound train and that in Marshall he and Bessie had registered as A. Rothschild and wife from Cincinnati, Ohio, a new warrant was issued for Abraham Rothschild of Cincinnati, and the victim was identified as Bessie Moore.
		The rumor that a hack was waiting outside the door of the courthouse and that the verdict was not announced until after the train whistle blew has not been substantiated; nor has the rumor that Rothschild was later imprisoned on a twenty-year sentence for grand theft.

	ROSEDALE IN APRIL
		Diamond Bessie’s Saloon and Brothel, a two-story clapboard structure painted in complementing shades of green and trimmed in burgundy, was located on a bluff bank overlooking the river, far enough from downtown Jefferson so when business heated to the boiling point the township wouldn’t be offended.
		So it was with much dread and disdain when Meesha, the most vulgar harlot at Diamond Bessie’s abruptly plopped down in his lap.
		The first thing that assailed his offended nostrils was the smell of stale, cheap perfume followed by the distinctive odor of sweat and sex…lots of sex.
