that Mrs. Borden had been killed some
time before her husband 1t was demon

Borden occurred within very short time

story is correct some one did II while she
was in the barn, while Bridget was IN the
attic. and while Mrs Borden's lifeless
body lying in the room above her
husband.
Nobody was seen to enter the house, and
though several hatchets were found it
could not be proved that the rust on them
was caused by human blood. The case was
circumstantial and outside of the general
proposition that there was no one else to
suspect, the fact that Lizzie and her step
mother were not friends and that the es-
arrangement as alleged. was the result
of a dispute about property in which
Lizzie expected to share was most relied
on as providing the motive.
The neighbors and friends, the pastor OF
her church and Sunday school superin-

den's exemplary life. Since the murder
she had apparently been the most
anxious to help the police officers in their

That Is VIVA the Borden Murders Look
Like Now
If Lizzie Borden did not murder her
father and stepmother who did? That rs
the question 'sked by the prosecution dur
ing the trial and it was or the theory that
there was no one else to suspect that the
prosecution largely arrested, aha
that is the question still unanswered.
On the 4th day of August,
1892, between the hours OF $3.50
and l1:30a. m. Andrew jackson Borden
and Abby Durfee Borden were murdered
at their home in Fall Rive. This is all
that is known. For legally, and, many
believe, morally, Lizzie Borden is guiltless
Lizzie A. Borden, daughter of Andrew
Jackson Borden, a woman now about IS
years old; her stepmother, Abby Durfee
Borden, and Bridget Sullivan. servant,
were the only members of the family
about the house When Mr.. Borden came
home at about 1G:45 that morning Bridget
left him a the front door and in few mo-
ments went TO her room upstairs She
had been engaged a good part of the morn
ing ont of doors washing windows. There
was absolutely no witness to the murders
except the murderer.
Lizzie Borden's own account of the acts
says that after her father came in she as
sisted him TO get into a comfortable position
on the lounge in the sitting room, taking
off his boots and putting on his slippers.
Then she says she went into the yard,
stopped few minutes TO gather and eat
some pears, passed on into the barn and
spent ten or fifteen minutes hunting for
lead to make fishing-line sinkers. Going
into the house she says she found her
father had been murdered. She now
called the servant and sent her at once for
DIR. Bowen, who lived near by.
Asked where her stepmother was she
said she did not know, but called to mind
the fact that her stepmother had told her
previously that she had received note
from a friend and in response was intend
ing to call on that friend. However,
Bridget was requested to look for her mis-
tress, but she objected to going alone and
Mrs. Churchill went with her. As the
two women approached the top of the
stairs leading TO the second story they saw
on the floor of the guest chamber the boay
of Mrs Borden, also murdered.
