LIZZIE BORDEN DID SHE?...OR...DIDN'T SHE? as Recorded in the Historic Pages of The Evening Standard, New Bedford, Mass. - 1892 & 1893

Softcover. On August 4, 1892, Andrew Jackson Borden and his wife, Abbie, were killed with a hatchet in their cramped Fall River home on Second Street. On June 21, 1893, in New Bedford Superior Court, Andrew Borden's daughter, Lizzie Andrew Borden, was found innocent of charges of killing her father and stepmother. That acquittal left two unsolved mysteries in its wake. Who, if not Lizzie, killed the Fall River banker and his wife? And why, despite a century of wars, famines, epidemics and gruesome crimes beyond count that have left millions dead has this one double homicide in a New England mill town, retained its fascination? Why, 100 years later, are criminologists, novelists, playwrights, composers, choreographers, judges, lawyers, scholars, sociologists and students of the media still interested in this century-old crime? Folio softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Vg. A large fairly heavy book which may require additional postage.
