The double murder of Andrew J.
Borden nod his wife at Fall River, Mala.,
on the 4th of August, culminntiuii M it
did in the artest of his youngest Jnnjfh -sler,
Lizzie Borden, has been one of the
amost extraordinary and mysterious crim
inal episodes of the centtry.
The circumstances surrounding the as-.-sassination
of Borden snd his wife, who
itM Lizzie's stepmother, were such as to
:atoiind these who would pounce, off
hand, upon a motive. Borden was rich
and pious, aged seventy-six years, a man
whose probity was equal to his thrift,
lie bad not led a public life, he had no
known enemy who it could be conjee
turcd would go to the extent ot killing
4iira, much less his wife, and when the
mutilated bodies of the couple were dis--covertd,
In their own house, shortly be
fore noon on August 4, the police and
the public ere utterly at a loss for a
iruotive, and in the intense excitemeut
hat overwhelmed the community they
turned to are another in helpless aston
ishment and horror.
The body of Borden was found on a
velvet sofa in tho parlor of the house.
II is head had been literally hacked to
ifiicces. There were seven long gashes
on his face and skull, some of them an
inch and half deep through the flesh
.and bone. In tho ')jMre" bed chamber
on the second floor was discovered the
liody of Mrs. Borden, who was sixty
seven years old. There was at first no
.-sight of blood and the momentary sup
position was that heart failure had oc
cuired. Mrs. Borden was lying prone ou the
floor on her face with her arras out
stretched and the toes of her shoes ret
ng on the carpet. On raising the body
rfhere was seen a pool of blood, and an

lamination disclosed tho fact that death
bad been caused, as in the case of the
husband, by reptated blows of some
licavy sharp instrument on the face, neck
and head. Id the case of both there was
found a deep cut into the braio.
A circumstance, which was not at
once observed, but which whs afterward
noticed and put down as a clue, was the
remarkable absence of blood from the
numerous woundi on both bodies. It
-was as it the life current had been re
garded and partly congealed from other
causes before the murderous blows were

A slight survey served to make it
equally plain that the murders were both
committed unexpectedly so far as the
victims were concerned. Borden's body
nvas reclining on the lounge, the legs
were resting easily on the floor, the left
arm lay on the hip, the right was folded
across the breast, the eyes were closed
nd the features were unmarked by any
expression of surprise or apprehension.
The attitude was one of repose. The
'features of Mrs. Borden were Dot drawn
and there was absolutely no evidence: of
a struggle.
There were, so far as yet known, but
two persons other than Borden and his
wife on the premises when the murders
were committed. These were Bridget
.Sullivan, a domestic, and Lizzie Borden,
he youngest of the two daughters. The
older daughter was visiting in another
town.
The first alarm was given by Lizzie
Borden, who ran out into the yard and
called for help. A neighbor responded
nd the police were telephoned for.
When they arrived they were told the
following story ;
The elder daughter bad been visiting
for some time in Fair Haven. ' At 8
o'clock that morning Mrs. Borden re
ceived a note asking her to call on a
friend who was ill. She left the bouse

who had been working in the kitchen,
pastel through the parlor shortly after
his return and asked him how tie felt.
The reason for this question was ex
plained to the police. The who'.e family
had been slightly ill for a day or two,
and Dr. Bowcn, the attending physician,
ANOMtW .T. nOUORIf, SHCOND VICTIM.
had given it as his suggestion that thoy
had been poisoned. Mr. Borden told
Bridget that he was feeling all right, and
she went up to the third floor aud washed
the windows.
According to Lizzie Borden she slept
late that morning, and did not get up
until Mrs. Borden had gono out, as she
thought, in response to the note from
the neighbor. On going down stairs
Lizzie passed through the parlor and saw
and spoke to her father. Supposing her
mother was out, she went Into the yard
and entered the barn In search of a piece
of lead, from which to cut "sinkers" for
a fishing excursion she expected soon to
make to Marion to join some Sunday
school friends who were already sojourn
ing there. While in the barn she heard
a cry of distress coming apparently from
the house. Hushing in, she found her
father dead on the sofa. She called

Bridget and they gave an alarm. Then
they searched upstairs for Mrs ' Borden
and found hor as described. The door
of the spare room, the police were told,
was closed.
Such was the story as related to the
police by Lizzie Borden and the servant,
and it furnished uo clues on which to
work.
A search ot the house revealed a hat
chet which born traces of blood, a bun
dle of bloody rags under a bucket in the
cellar and two spots of blood on a white
skirt hanging in a closet in Lizzie's
room. This skirt would hardly stand as
evidence, however, unless it could be
proven that Lizzie wore it when she
killed the stepmother, but removed it
before she made the assault on the old
man. She did not have time to change
any of ber clothing between the time
Mr. Borden was killed and the time
when she call Bridget Sull'.van. There
was absolutely no stain ot blood on Liz
zie's bands or clothing when the officers
took possession of the house.
The first theory ot the police was that
a murderer familiar with the place had
concealed himself in the house and bad
taken desperate chauces for the plunder
that might be at hand. This view was
relinquished when it was tound that
nothing bad been taken. The police
next turner1 their attention to the theory
that the murders were a family matter
and had grown out of the efforts ot one
ot the girls to secure a half interest in
the estate, valued at $500,000.
At the outset there were several false
clues on which the police worked, sev
eral parties being arrested on suspicion,
but each one established an alibi.
A careful examination ot the bodies
of Mr. and Mrs. Borden the day after
the killing served to eonvinoe the phy
sicians that Mrs. Borden had been dis
patched some time probably an bour
and bait before her husband. It was
after this discovery, coupled with their
failure to locate sat suspicious character

no nr utur tne premises before or after
the tragedy, and with the seeming im
probability that , a stranger could have
lurked In the Borden house without de
tection by L'M'e Borden or the servant,
tint the police fell back on the theory
that the as'sin was some member of
tho houehold who knew the premises
thoroughly.
Ho much having been settled to their
satisfaction the police proceeded to look
for their victim. Their attention was first
drawn to John V. Morse, a cousin of
Borden, living In a neighboring town.
Morse was a sort ,of horse trader, had
reeently come from the Wet and was
known to have been at the Borden home
several time, and especially on the
morning of the murders. He was
shadowed and questioned by the police,
and several of the Borden relatives came
out and aired their suspicions In relation
to him, but he convinced the police of
his Inuoeenee. Morse was undoubtedly
in and about the Borden house shortly
before the tiatiedy, but there was no
evidence of anv sort discovered against
him, and he was not arretted, although
he was under surveillance for several
days.
Lizzie Borden was suspected chiefly by
reason of certain discrepencies between
her statements to the police as to the cir
cumstances under which the bodies of
Mr. ami Mr. Borden were found.
Uridijet Su.livua was involved lu several
of the earlier of these disorepenci8S, but
the police decided that she was a victim
of a bad memory and abandoned all sus
picion of ber.
S
TIIK FAI'AI, HATCIIKV.
The suspicion against Lizzie Borden
was rendered stronger bv a statement
made to the police by Eli Bence, a clerk
at I). H. Smith's drugstore, to the effect
that Miss Borden had been in his store
two days before the murders Inquiring
for prussic acid or hydrocyanic acid.
She faiHd to secure either. The drug
clerk made a partial identification of
Miss Borden, but later the accuracy of
his identification was denied. Miss Bor
den denied that she bad bought or tried
to buy either poison. Hydrocyanio acid
leaves no outward trace on the body, and
it was the conjecture of the physicians
for the prosecution that this was the
drui; that had been used.
Miss Borden was put under polio sur
veillance two days after the murders,
but was not arrested until some dava
later. In addition to the police there
was a Pinkcrton detective early on tne
scene. The detective worked in the in
terest of the Borden family and lidiculed
the police tlieorj. His idea was that the
murders were the work of a lunatic.
The movements of Mr. Borden on the
day of his death were investigated, with
the result that the police were able to
trace him u,i to within a half hour of his
death. Thirty minutes after he was seen
to enter the house his body was found on
the sofa. It was between 10:3(1 and
10:52 a. m. when Borden entered the
house. At 11:13 the news of the mur
der was on the street.
In the case of Mrs. Borden the police
were utterly unable to locate her outside
the house on that fearful morning, not
withstanding the statement of Lizzie
Borden that Mrs. Borden had been sum
moned to a sick neighbor. According
to Miss Borden the note was delivered to
M.-s. Borden by a messenger boy, but she
could not describe the boy. She did not
know the neighbor and diligent search
failed to reveal the slightest trace of
either. The note which Mri. Borden is
said to have received could uot be fouud.
It was regarded as singular by the
police that neither Miss Borden nor
Bridgot Sullivan bad heard the noise ot
tho tall of Mrs. Borden's body. Mrs.
Borden weighed 200 pounds, and it was
clear that she bad tumbled headlong and
at full length to the floor.
Dr. Bowen, the family physician, who
was called to the Borden house a few
minutes after the discovery of the bodies,
told the police that Mr. Borden was, in
his judgment, asleep when attacked.
Ue thought that an ax was used, as there
were several cuts on the head four and a
bait inches toug.
Miss Borden told the police that she
was in the barn when the murders oc
curred. A policeman visited the barn
on the day after the tragedy and exam
ined the floor, which was covered with a
thick layer of dust. There were no toot
prints in this dust except those made by
the officer in bis investigation.
Hiram Harrington, a brother-in-law of
Borden, had an interview with Miss
Borden the evening of the day ot the
murders. She told him that she was in
the kitchen when tho fathet came homo
at 10:30 o'clock. Mr. Borden sat down
on tbe lounge in the next room, and she
went in tliere and helped him to remove
his coat, inquired solicitously as to bis
condition, put on his dressing gowu, as
sisted bim to a reclining position, and
withdrew on floding bim comfortable.
She left tbe house and went to tbe barn
about 10 :45 o'clock, and staled there
twenty to thirty minutes. On returning
she found Mr. Borden's body. Miss
Borden told Harrington that she thought
the murders bad been committed by
strangers.
The police were clear on the question
of motive. They alleged that it was
the purpose of Lizzie Borden, by killing
Borden and bis wife, to iuherit one-halt
of bis estate.
Befrre tbe tragedy Lizzie Borden lived
the humdrum life of a small place. She
once taught a Suuday school class and
was bright but sedate. She made an
extended tour of Europe a year or two
ago, slnoe which she has devoted ber
self largely to novels and has resumed

"As Is known to you a riot occurred with

generally to resist nil onposers in the com
mission of a breach of the peace and to exe
cute it in such a nisnner as naturally tends
to raise tumults and frays, and in so doing
