Because Abby was ruled to have died before Andrew, her estate went first to Andrew and then, at his death, passed to his daughters as part of his estate; a considerable settlement, however, was paid to settle claims by Abby's family.

Despite the acquittal, Borden was ostracized by Fall River society. She never saw her sister again.

Borden was ill in her last year following the removal of her gallbladder ; she died of pneumonia on June 1, , in Fall River.

Funeral details were not published and few attended. The sisters, neither of whom had ever married, were buried side by side in the family plot in Oak Grove Cemetery.

Scholar Ann Schofield notes that "Borden's story has tended to take one or the other of two fictional forms: the tragic romance and the feminist quest As the story of Lizzie Borden has been created and re-created through rhyme and fiction it has taken on the qualities of a popular American myth or legend that effectively links the present to the past.

The Borden house is now a museum, and operates a bed and breakfast with s styling. The case was memorialized in a popular skipping-rope rhyme. Lizzie Borden took an axe And gave her mother forty whacks.

When she saw what she had done, She gave her father forty-one. Folklore says that the rhyme was made up by an anonymous writer as a tune to sell newspapers.

Others attribute it to the ubiquitous, but anonymous, " Mother Goose ". In reality, Borden's stepmother suffered eighteen [] or nineteen [86] blows; her father suffered eleven blows.

The rhyme has a less well-known second verse: []. Andrew Borden now is dead, Lizzie hit him on the head. Up in heaven he will sing, On the gallows she will swing.

Borden has been depicted in music, radio, film, theater, and television, often in association with the murders of which she was acquitted.

Among the earlier portrayals on stage was in New Faces of , a Broadway musical with a number titled "Lizzie Borden" depicting the crimes, [] as well as Agnes De Mille 's ballet Fall River Legend and the Jack Beeson opera Lizzie Borden , both works being based on Borden and the murders of her father and stepmother.

Lizzie Borden , another musical adaptation, was also made starring Tony nominee Alison Fraser. The episode aired on January 22, and takes place in , with a determined woman reporter trying to interview the sisters one year after the murders.

Rhonda McClure, the genealogist who documented the Montgomery-Borden connection, said: "I wonder how Elizabeth would have felt if she knew she was playing her own cousin.

In , Saint James Films produced 'Lizzie Borden's Revenge', a horror film in which a group of girls jokingly attempt to resurrect Borden, played by Veronica Ricci [].

Lifetime produced Lizzie Borden Took an Ax , a speculative television film with Christina Ricci portraying Borden, which was followed by The Lizzie Borden Chronicles , a limited series and sequel to the television film which presents a fictional account of Borden's life after the trial.

In , Supernatural aired an episode entitled "Thin Lizzie". They originally suspect that the ghost of Lizzie Borden is the one responsible for the murders, but then discover that the murderer isn't her.

The events of the murders and the trial, with actors portraying the people involved, have been re-created for a number of documentary programs.

In , the radio program Unsolved Mysteries broadcast a minute dramatization of "The Lizzie Borden Case", [] with a possible solution presented that the murders were committed during a botched robbery attempt by a tramp, who then escaped.

The story was published in posthumously in the collection American Ghosts and Old World Wonders. Miss Lizzie , a novel by Walter Satterthwait, takes place thirty years after the murders and recounts an unlikely friendship between Borden and a child, and the suspicions that arise from a murder.

Lizzie Borden is mentioned in the posthumously published Agatha Christie novel Sleeping Murder published in , written in In it, the main character Miss Marple discusses a potential murder with another character, Dr Haydock, who talks about people who have committed murder and got away with it, saying "It was not proven in the case of Madeleine Smith and Lizzie was acquitted—but many people believe both of those women were guilty.

All I want, Mr. Jennings, is the list. I raise the question as to its competency. Oh yes. The District Attorney, your Honors, does not require me to make formal proof.

As I understand it, he simply reserves his right to object. Durfee Safe Deposit and Trust Company. Four shares of Merchants' Manufacturing Company stock, date of certificate March 8, Five shares of Merchants' Manufacturing Company stock, date of certificate December 22, Do you know whether or not it was upon his finger at the time he was buried?

Have you an inventory, Miss Emma, of the clothes that were in the clothes closet on Saturday afternoon, the time of the search?

Will you state either from your own recollection or by the assistance of that memorandum what the dresses were?

Wait a minute. I do not object to the question except as to the memorandum. All of them belonged to my sister and I except one that belonged to Mrs.

How many of those dresses were blue dresses or dresses in which blue was a marked color? You cannot say what you heard me say.

Did you hear Dr Dolan or Marshal Hilliard? I asked Dr Dolan if they had made a thorough search—. Wait a minute, madame, if you please.

I pray your Honors' judgment as to that answer. What, if anything, did Dr Dolan say to you as to the character of the search which had been made?

The Court's recollection of Dr Dolan's testimony is that he testified to the character of the search. If you want to show anything different from what he testified—.

He told me the search had been as thorough as the search could be made unless the paper was torn from the walls and the carpets taken from the floor.

Did you or Miss Lizzie, so far as you know, at any time make any objection to the searching of any part of that house? By telling them to come as often as they pleased and search as thorough as they could.

Now, then, Miss Emma, I will ask you if you know of a Bedford cord dress which your sister had at that time? It was a blue cotton Bedford cord, very light blue ground with a darker figure about an inch long and I think about three quarters of an inch wide.

What kind of material was it as to cost? Do you know what the price of it was? Do you know whether or not they were painting the house at the time that dress was made?

I should say along the front and on one side toward the bottom and some on the wrong side of the skirt. I went in to hang up the dress that I had been wearing during the day, and there was no vacant nail, and I searched round to find a nail, and I noticed this dress.

Did you say anything to your sister about that dress in consequence of your not finding a nail to hang your dress on? I pray your Honors' judgment as to that.

That is clearly incompetent. I don't think, may it please your Honors, that answer should stand. Was this material of which this dress was made in a condition to be made over for anything else?

Now will you tell the Court and the Jury all that you saw or heard that morning in the kitchen? I was washing dishes, and I heard my sister's voice and I turned round and saw she was standing at the foot of the stove, between the foot of the stove and the dining-room door.

This dress was hanging on her arm and she says, "I think I shall burn this old dress up. And I turned back and continued washing the dishes, and did not see her burn it and did not pay any more attention to her at that time.

What do you do with your rags and pieces of cloth that you had this morning, or what did your sister do with those that she had?

What was the custom? I will withdraw that question for a moment, with your Honors' permission. What was done with the pieces of cloth, or pieces of old dresses, or old dresses that you had to dispose of?

What was the custom and habit of your sister in disposing of pieces of clothing or old dresses? Was anything said by Miss Russell in the presence of Miss Lizzie, in regard to this dress?

Miss Russell came to us in the dining room [Monday] and said Mr. Hanscom asked her if all the dresses were there that were there the day of the tragedy, and she told him "Yes," "and of course," she said, "it is a falsehood.

She came and said she told Mr. Hanscom a falsehood, and I asked her what there was to tell a falsehood about, and then she said that Mr.

Hanscom had asked her if all the dresses were there that were there the day of the tragedy and she told him "Yes. That frightened me so thoroughly, I cannot recall it.

I know the carriage was waiting for her to go on some errand, and when she came back we had some conversation and it was decided to have her go and tell Mr.

Hanscom that she had told a falsehood, and to tell him that we told her to do so. She went into the parlor and told him, and in a few minutes she returned from the parlor and said she had told him.

Now at the time when Miss Russell said "It was the worst thing that could be done"- A. Oh, yes sir, she said that Monday morning.

When she came into the dining room and said she had told Mr. Hanscom that she had told him a falsehood, we asked what she told it for, and [she] said "The burning of the dress was the worst thing Lizzie could have done," and my sister said to her "Why didn't you tell me?

Why did you let me do it? Now, Miss Emma, do you recall a story that was told by Mrs. Reagan about a quarrel between yourself and your sister?

Yes sir. Was your attention called to the fact by me? Now, Miss Emma, on that morning did you have any conversation with Miss Lizzie in which she said, "Emma, you have given me away, haven't you?

And did you say in reply, "No, Lizzie, I haven't. Was there ever any trouble in the matron's room between you and your sister while she was there?

Now when you went out did I say to you, "Have you told her all? In order that there may be no mistake, Miss Emma, I would like to ask you again, who was it that said she had told a falsehood to Mr.

Knowlton] On the day that this thing happened you were in Fairhaven? Oh, I do know. Had you any other near kin on your own mother's side, [in addition to Mr.

All but one live West. I have an aunt, Mrs. Morse, who is living now. She lives in Fall River. Her maiden name was also Morse.

I do not visit her very often. My father had a great many cousins, one sister and no brother. The sister is Mrs.

She sometimes came to our house. Harrington did not, except to call at the door to inquire for my sister or for me.

My stepmother had a half-sister in Fall River: Mrs. She owned half her house, and my stepmother the other half. My father bought the interest in the house and gave it to my stepmother.

This was five or six years ago. If you will observe the question, I did not ask you that; it is a very natural answer, I find no fault with it.

Did it make any trouble between your stepmother and Lizzie and you? And in consequence of your faultfinding did your father also make a purchase for you or give you some money?

I don't know what the other house rented for, but I should think that ours rented for more than hers.

Were the relations between you and Lizzie and your stepmother as cordial after that occurrence of the house that you have spoken of as they were before?

Between my sister and Mrs. Borden they were. And do you say that the relations were entirely cordial between Lizzie and your stepmother after that event?

And wasn't it about at that time that she ceased to call her "Mother"? I don't remember. And don't you recall that was sometime in connection with the transaction in relation to the house?

Do you say that you have not said that the relations were not cordial between your sister and your mother? Do you remember that I asked you if your relations were cordial between you and your mother?

I think you did either then or before the Grand Jury. I don't remember which. And do you remember that I then asked you if the relations between your sister and your mother were also cordial?

Do you still say that the relations between your stepmother and your sister Lizzie were cordial? Now, I want to ask you if you didn't say this: "Were the relations between you and your stepmother cordial?

We always spoke"? That was myself and my stepmother. The next question is pretty long, "Somewhat more than they were with you, but not entirely so, you mean perhaps?

I do not want to lead you at all. I judged from your answer you mean that, or don't you mean that? You say somewhat more than your relations were.

Do you mean they were entirely cordial between your stepmother and your sister Lizzie? How does it happen that you remember the answer in which you did not explicitly state whether they were cordial or not, but don't remember an answer, if one was given, in which you said they were not cordial, which was the following question?

That is a little involved perhaps. You do recall the question next preceding that in which you said "Somewhat more than they were with me"?

But when the next question, if I may assume to say so, was put to you, if it was put, and such an answer was given by you, you don't now recall that answer?

And would you say that was not true-I haven't said you did at all, Miss Borden, if you will pardon me.

Don't understand me as saying that you said anything, so that I think that answer is not pertinent to my question. Do you recall now that it is read to you saying that?

No sir, not if you say I did. I don't say I didn't say it, if you say I did. I don't remember saying it. Do you understand me saying I do?

Now, I do not say you did, and have no right to say you did. I haven't said anything about it. I am asking whether you gave that answer to such a question as that: "Do you mean they were entirely cordial between your stepmother and your sister Lizzie?

I can only say I don't remember giving it. Whether you said it or not, do you say that is true, that the relations were not entirely cordial between your sister Lizzie and your stepmother?

Now I will read you this question and answer: "Can you tell me the cause of the lack of cordiality between you and your mother, or was it not any specific thing?

I will read another question: "That, however, did not heal the breach, whatever breach there was? The giving the property to you did not entirely heal the feeling?

Miss Borden, do you know of anybody that was on terms of ill will with your stepmother? Oh, yes sir. That is what I mean. And the room that you occupied was the room adjacent to it?

The room that you occupy was a room that had no exit excepting through her room? No sir. Oh, just as it happened. If it was someone we were very well acquainted with and we were in there sewing, we had them come up.

Did she have any duties upstairs, I mean in regard to your sleeping room? And when there was anything to be done with the guest chamber, whose duty was it usually to take care of that?

Have you ever caused any search to be made for the note that your stepmother was said to have received that day? I think I only looked in a little bag that she carried down street with her sometimes, and in her workbasket.

And did that notice also include a request for the messenger as well as the writer of the note? I would like an approximate idea. Was it two or three days or two or three weeks?

Which is nearer? Well, I should think nearer two or three weeks, but I am not sure. Have you seen the hatchet that has no handle? I think she kept it in the little press at the foot of the front stairs in the front hall.

Do I understand you to say that no interview whatever took place that had any foundation like what has been described by Mrs. Reagan, as you have heard it described?

I mean to say there was nothing of that kind said. She said you remained seated in your chair, if I may be allowed to put it so, and she on the sofa with her back turned away from you, and you yourself remained an hour and a half.

If I get the time right, did that take place? Miss Russell went to that church, but they were not associated in church work at all. Do you recall what the first thing you said was when Miss Lizzie was standing by the stove with the dress?

I said, "You might as well", or "Why don't you? That is what it meant. I can't tell you the exact words. Wasn't the first thing said by anybody, "Lizzie, what are you going to do with that dress?

That is what I thought you would say. Now, you don't recall that the first thing that you said to her, the first thing that was said by anybody was, "What are you going to do with that dress, Lizzie?

I don't know. When I turned to hear what my sister had to say I saw Miss Russell, but she wasn't in the room with her then.

She was in the dining room with the door open. The reason you don't think you said so was because you had previously spoken with your sister Lizzie about destroying the dress?

It is a habit I have, to do that. I do not put on the "do you. The reason you think you didn't say so was because you had previously spoken to her about destroying the dress?

I had previously spoken about it. I don't think I had thought of the dress all the time. I had spoken to her about it. Well, I don't know how to describe it to you.

It was about an inch long by about three quarters of an inch wide. I think one part of it was black or very dark blue and the other part a very light blue.

A print cotton dress of the style called Bedford cord is a proper description of it? Just as any dress would get soiled; it was very light and touched the floor or ground in walking.

She got the paint on, if I understand you, immediately after she got it made? I think she was wiping the dishes and came back and forth and I didn't pay attention.

Did you hear Miss Russell say to her, "I wouldn't let anybody see me do that, Lizzie"? And did you notice that for any reason your sister Lizzie stepped away after something was said by Miss Russell?

Jennings] You remained in the kitchen yourself all the time washing dishes? Do you know where this waterproof of Miss Lizzie's was on the day of the search?

June 16, Q. Jennings] You are the sister of Miss Lizzie Borden? I think twenty-one years last May. Did your sister Lizzie always live there too with you?

Yourself, your father, Miss Lizzie and Mrs. Do you know what property Miss Lizzie Borden had at the time of the murder?

Will you produce the evidences of it, if you have them with you? You may state it yourself. You need not trouble the witness.

The never-married, never-employed Emma, who had spent most of her life with her similarly situated sister, found a roommate in Annie Connor, a non-working spinster whose life pattern was akin to that of Emma and Lizzie.

There his job was to churn the milk to get the butterfat out. Why did Emma choose to live in Newmarket? The population was little more than a thousand and it was far enough removed from the seaside resort of Hampton Beach or the main thoroughfares to Boston and Portsmouth to preclude travelers from passing through.

It was quietly withdrawn, hidden away amid green rolling farms that had been cultivated by English settlers in the s. In short, it was the sort of town that would attract someone who was averse to publicity but had for years found herself unwillingly at the center of it.

There might have been more to the attraction as well since Newmarket, New Hampshire both was, and is, a quaint and pleasant small town.

As so many towns do, Newmarket grew up along a river. Formerly serving as a major water transportation link connecting the inland regions with Portsmouth harbor and the Atlantic ocean, the Lamprey is now appreciated as a significant recreational asset to the region with its opportunities for fishing, boating and access to the Greater Bay tidal basin area.

Richard Alperin is the current president of the Newmarket Historical Society. The construction worker became intrigued by the history of his town in when he bought an old home and learned about the background of its property.

Like so many people, Alperin thought of 18th Century blacks in this country as slaves and was fascinated to learn that Cheswell had been a man of wealth and influence.

Wentworth Cheswell was not raised in deprivation but educated in a private school. He was a teacher in Newmarket and, in , was elected Town Constable.

He went on to a distinguished career as a public servant. He was a selectman, an auditor, an assessor, a scrivener, and a justice of the peace. However, whether or not this actually occurred has not been documented.

Alperin has found ample proof that Cheswell was a fascinating character of great accomplishment. Newmarket has a 9-hole golf course, an athletic club, and sporting groups.

I am sure I did not. This would have caused public attention toward Lizzie and perhaps embarrassment to Emma. People come to Newmarket for a wide variety of reasons. I think Ian Malcolm did either then or before the Grand Jury. I can only say I don't remember giving it. Evil Dead.

Borden and her older sister, Emma Lenora Borden — [12] had a relatively religious upbringing and attended Central Congregational Church. She was involved in Christian organizations such as the Christian Endeavor Society , for which she served as secretary-treasurer, [14] and contemporary social movements such as the Women's Christian Temperance Union WCTU.

Lizzie stated that she called her stepmother "Mrs. Borden" and demurred on whether they had a cordial relationship; she believed that Abby had married her father for his wealth.

After returning to Fall River, a week before the murders, Lizzie chose to stay in a local rooming house for four days before returning to the family residence.

Tension had been growing within the family in the months before the murders, especially over Andrew's gifts of real estate to various branches of Abby's family.

For several days before the murders, the entire household had been violently ill. A family friend later speculated that mutton left on the stove to use in meals over several days was the cause, but Abby had feared poisoning , as Andrew had not been a popular man.

John Morse arrived in the evening of August 3 and slept in the guest room that night. After breakfast the next morning, at which Andrew, Abby, Lizzie, Morse and the Bordens' maid Bridget "Maggie" Sullivan were present, Andrew and Morse went to the sitting room, where they chatted for nearly an hour.

Sullivan went to unlock the door; finding it jammed, she uttered an expletive. Lizzie stated that she had then removed Andrew's boots and helped him into his slippers before he lay down on the sofa for a nap an anomaly contradicted by the crime scene photos, which show Andrew wearing boots.

Father's dead. Somebody came in and killed him. Bowen, the family's physician, arrived from his home across the street to determine that both victims had died.

Lizzie Borden's initial answers to the police officers' questions were at times strange and contradictory. When asked where her stepmother was, she recounted Abby receiving a note asking her to visit a sick friend.

She also stated that she thought Abby had returned and asked if someone could go upstairs and look for her.

Sullivan and a neighbor, Mrs. Churchill, were halfway up the stairs, their eyes level with the floor, when they looked into the guest room and saw Abby lying face down on the floor.

Most of the officers who interviewed Borden reported that they disliked her attitude; some said she was too calm and poised. Despite her "attitude" and changing alibis, nobody bothered to check her for bloodstains.

Police did search her room, but it was a cursory inspection; at the trial they admitted to not doing a proper search because Borden was not feeling well.

They were subsequently criticized for their lack of diligence. In the basement, police found two hatchets, two axes, and a hatchet-head with a broken handle.

Lizzie and Emma's friend, Alice Russell, decided to stay with them the night following the murders while Morse spent the night in the attic guest room contrary to later accounts that he slept in the murder-site guest room.

Police were stationed around the house on the night of August 4, during which an officer said he had seen Borden enter the cellar with Russell, carrying a kerosene lamp and a slop pail.

On August 5, Morse left the house and was mobbed by hundreds of people; police had to escort him back to the house.

On August 6, police conducted a more thorough search of the house, inspecting the sisters' clothing and confiscating the broken-handled hatchet-head.

That evening a police officer and the mayor visited the Bordens, and Lizzie was informed that she was a suspect in the murders.

The next morning, Russell entered the kitchen to find Borden tearing up a dress. She explained that she was planning to put it on the fire because it was covered in paint.

It was never determined whether it was the dress she had been wearing on the day of the murders. Borden appeared at the inquest hearing on August 8.

Her request to have her family attorney present was refused under a state statute providing that an inquest must be held in private. She had been prescribed regular doses of morphine to calm her nerves, and it is possible that her testimony was affected by this.

Her behavior was erratic, and she often refused to answer a question even if the answer would be beneficial to her. She often contradicted herself and provided alternating accounts of the morning in question, such as saying she was in the kitchen reading a magazine when her father arrived home, then saying she was in the dining room doing some ironing, and then saying she was coming down the stairs.

The district attorney was very aggressive and confrontational. On August 11, Borden was served with a warrant of arrest and jailed.

The inquest testimony, the basis for the modern debate regarding her guilt or innocence, was later ruled inadmissible at her trial in June Borden's trial took place in New Bedford starting on June 5, Moody ; defending were Andrew V.

Jennings, [54] Melvin O. Adams , and former Massachusetts governor George D. This time the victim was Bertha Manchester, who was found hacked to death in her kitchen.

A prominent point of discussion in the trial or press coverage of it was the hatchet-head found in the basement, which was not convincingly demonstrated by the prosecution to be the murder weapon.

Prosecutors argued that the killer had removed the handle because it would have been covered in blood. Both victims' heads had been removed during autopsy [67] [68] and the skulls were admitted as evidence during the trial and presented on June 5, The judge ruled that the incident was too remote in time to have any connection.

The presiding Associate Justice, Justin Dewey who had been appointed by Robinson when he was governor , delivered a lengthy summary that supported the defense as his charge to the jury before it was sent to deliberate on June 20, Simpson as a landmark in publicity and public interest in the history of American legal proceedings.

Although acquitted at trial, Borden remains the prime suspect in her father's and stepmother's murders. Writer Victoria Lincoln proposed in that Borden might have committed the murders while in a fugue state.

Mystery author Ed McBain , in his novel Lizzie , suggested that Borden committed the murders after being caught in a lesbian tryst with Sullivan.

When Andrew returned she had confessed to him, but killed him in a rage with a hatchet when he reacted exactly as Abby had.

McBain further speculates that Sullivan disposed of the hatchet somewhere afterwards. In her later years, Borden was rumored to be a lesbian, but there was no such speculation about Sullivan, who found other employment after the murders and later married a man she met while working as a maid in Butte, Montana.

She died in Butte in , [85] where she allegedly gave a deathbed confession to her sister, stating that she had changed her testimony on the stand in order to protect Borden.

Another significant suspect is John Morse, Lizzie's maternal uncle, who rarely met with the family after his sister died, but had slept in the house the night before the murders; according to law enforcement, Morse had provided an "absurdly perfect and overdetailed alibi for the death of Abby Borden".

Others noted as potential suspects in the crimes include Sullivan, possibly in retaliation for being ordered to clean the windows on a hot day; the day of the murders was unusually hot—and at the time she was still recovering from the mystery illness that had struck the household.

After the trial, the Borden sisters moved into a large, modern house in The Hill neighborhood in Fall River.

Around this time, Lizzie began using the name Lizbeth A. Because Abby was ruled to have died before Andrew, her estate went first to Andrew and then, at his death, passed to his daughters as part of his estate; a considerable settlement, however, was paid to settle claims by Abby's family.

Despite the acquittal, Borden was ostracized by Fall River society. She never saw her sister again. Borden was ill in her last year following the removal of her gallbladder ; she died of pneumonia on June 1, , in Fall River.

Funeral details were not published and few attended. The sisters, neither of whom had ever married, were buried side by side in the family plot in Oak Grove Cemetery.

Scholar Ann Schofield notes that "Borden's story has tended to take one or the other of two fictional forms: the tragic romance and the feminist quest As the story of Lizzie Borden has been created and re-created through rhyme and fiction it has taken on the qualities of a popular American myth or legend that effectively links the present to the past.

The Borden house is now a museum, and operates a bed and breakfast with s styling. The case was memorialized in a popular skipping-rope rhyme.

Lizzie Borden took an axe And gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done, She gave her father forty-one.

Folklore says that the rhyme was made up by an anonymous writer as a tune to sell newspapers. Others attribute it to the ubiquitous, but anonymous, " Mother Goose ".

In reality, Borden's stepmother suffered eighteen [] or nineteen [86] blows; her father suffered eleven blows.

The rhyme has a less well-known second verse: []. Newmarket has a 9-hole golf course, an athletic club, and sporting groups. Perhaps its greatest offering to the sporting crowd is its nearby beaches and waterways.

High tech industry and other modern businesses have long ago replaced the textile mills. The town also attracts people from all around with its unique festivities.

Another Newmarket special event is geared specifically to children. It is the Newmarket Fishing Derby at which kids ages 2 to 14 gather at a stocked pond and try for the biggest fish.

It was impossible for Lizzie to enter or leave her own bed chamber without passing through Emma's, a situation that must have contributed to the feeling that Emma was her surrogate mother.
