Lizzie Borden House:
?Lizzie Borden took an axe,
And gave her mother forty whacks,
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.?
August 4, 1892 at 92 second Street in Fall River, Massachusetts, the Borden?s maid, Bridget (?Maggie?) Sullivan, was taking a break in her bedroom from doing her chores. Suddenly she heard Lizzie Borden, the younger of two Borden daughters, call to her desperately to come downstairs. Lizzie then explained that her father was dead and that somebody came in and killed him. Soon police officers were in the house searching the premises for evidence of the murderer when they discovered the body of Abby Borden, Lizzie?s step-mother, on the second floor. the bodies of Andrew and Abby Borden had both been hacked to death by either an ax or hatchet by the murderer, however, the body of Abby Borden was cold on discovery whereas Andrew?s was still very warm indicating that Abby had been killed first.
?The community was terribly shocked this morning to hear that an aged man and his wife had fallen victims to the thirst of a murderer, and that an atrocious deed had been committed, the news spread like wildfire and hundreds poured into second street. the deed was committed at no. 62 second street, where for years Andrew J. Borden and his wife had lived in happiness.
It is supposed that an axe was the instrument used, as the bodies of the victims are hacked almost beyond recognition. Since the discovery of the deed the street in front of the house has been blocked by an anxious throng, eagerly waiting for the news of the awful tragedy and vowing vengeance on the assassin.? This report from the Fall River Herald shows just a sample of what the media attention was like when assessing this trial. With some of the best lawyers of the time representing the Prosecution and Defense of Lizzie Borden, people were quickly scrambling back and forth regarding Lizzie?s innocence.
The trial began in June 5, 1893 in the New Bedford County Courthouse before a panel of three judges and hand selected jury. Though the trial endured many compelling arguments on behalf of the Prosecution and the Defense, concrete evidence to place Lizzie Borden at the scene of the crime was lacking. after defense attorney , a. V. Jennings argued ?there is not one particle of direct evidence in this case from beginning to end against Lizzie a. Borden. there is not a spot of blood, there is not a weapon that they have connected with her in any way, shape or fashion.? in his closing statement, the Prosecution was unable to provide, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Lizzie was the perpetrator of the crime therefore the jury must acquit her. the Jury agreed entering a verdict of ?Not Guilty? on June 14, 1893.
The house was passed down over the years being purchased by various owners until LeAnn Wilber purchased the establishment, reopening it as a B&B and museum. Experiencing strange phenomenon herself as well as receiving reports from her guests, the Lizzie Borden House B&B and Museum offers opportunities not typically enjoyed by the average customer. now you will have the opportunity to visit the 119 year old crime scene where the ghastly murders of Andrew and Abby Borden took place. See if the spirits that remain feel if justice was served or question Lizzie herself about her role in that fateful night in 1892. Sleep in one of the rooms of this former private residence and receive an experience like no other. now it is time to join the Paranormal Research Society as they open a case file on the infamous Lizzie Borden House.
