The Fall River Tragedy. A History of the Borden Murders (Illustrated Edition)

📖 Lizzie Borden (1860-1927) was tried and acquitted for the 1892 axe murders of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts, and speculation continues today around this sensational case as no one else was ever charged with the brutal murders. Compiled immediately after the high profile trial, Edwin H Porter (1864-1904), the Police Reporter for the Fall River Daily Globe and a correspondent for the Boston Herald, aims to provide "a connected story of the whole case, commencing with the day of the tragedy and ending with the day that Miss Borden was set free." First published in 1893, with illustrations throughout.
