Bessie's Death
A great deal of controversy surrounded Bessie's death immediately after it occurred because her husband Albert, who had been driving the vehicle at the time, had a widely-known reputation for driving recklessly. According to Albert's testimony, he had lost control of the car and crashed into a rock, whereupon Bessie was thrown from the car and killed. Many friends and acquaintances held the belief, however, that Bessie may have survived the initial impact and been killed by Albert after the fact either through negligence or through purposeful effort. Although Albert was the only witness of the actual accident, others who arrived after the fact stated they felt that the scene of the alleged crime had been altered, possibly to cover up suspicious activity.
