THE BORDEN AXE

On August 1, 1892, Andrew J. Bor-
 den, a wealthy resident of Fall River,
 and his wife were murdered in their
 home between II o'clock and noon, the
 heads of both victims being crushed in
 with an axe or hatchet. It was one Of
 the warmest days of very warm
 month. hence the windows of the B0r- den home were open. Mir. Borden & daughter, Lizzie, was in and about the
 home during the hour in which the
 murder was committed 4 servant, Bridget Sullivan, was at work on the third floor. Mrs. Borden, stepmOther of Lizzie, was on the second floor when she was struck down, and her husband was asleep on u couch on the first floor when he was killed.
 From the first Bridget Sullivan was eliminated as a suspect, but suspicion centered upon Lizzie, as it was known that the family life of the Bordens was not pleasant She was arrested The ablest talent which Massachusetts afforded was secured, both by the ter a stirring trial, through which she remained placid and unrufhed, she was acquitted. Until her death year or so ago, she continued to live in Fall River.
 The State was hampered in the pre- sentation of it's case because of it's in- ability to produce the weapon with which the crime was committed. The premises were searched both by pro- fessionals and by amateurs, and espc- cial search was made in barn which stood in the rear of the house and which Lizzie said she had visited dur ing the morning. in search af a weight for a fish line, but although large reward was offered, no axe or hatchet was discovered.
 In March of this year the barn was and while it was being razed a small and wall-rusted axe was found lying on a beam near the top of a staircase leading to the loft of the barn. At Inst something had been found The Fall River authorities sent the rusty axe to chemists in Bos- ton. who were then quoted as saying that had blood been on the edge of the axe a hundred years earlier the fact could be established. Inasmuch as the murder took place only thirty-seven years aKo, the task was clearly sim pie.
 Perhaps it was simple, but after a few weeks Fall River newspaper queried the chemists and was told that the work would involve considerable time, as clearly it has. In this case time counts for but little Lizzie Bor den and her sister, who was not at home on the day of the murder, the judge who heard the case. the lawyers who prosecuted or defended Lizzie, and most of the witnesses are dead.
