Borden, Lizzie (Andrew)

    0.15 sec.

Borden, Lizzie (Andrew) (1860-1927)

US alleged murderess from Fall River, Massachusetts. Borden was arrested and tried for the axe-murders of her father and stepmother in 1892. She was acquitted in 1893. Her alleged deed was immortalized, and exaggerated, in the quatrain ‘Lizzie Borden took an axe / And gave her mother forty whacks; / And when she saw what she had done / She gave her father forty-one’.

Many people think she was guilty and the Lizzie Borden Quarterly, produced in Fall River, still debates the case. People can stay in Lizzie's or the parents' beds in the Lizzie Borden Guest House and Museum.
