How were Samuel and Sara Luther related to Lizzie Borden?
They were never related. Laura, maiden name Vestral, was a neighbor of Lizzie Borden's after she moved from 92 2nd Street to Maplecroft, the home she lived in until her death in 1927. Laura's family lived behind Borden and sold eggs and milk to Lizzie. Laura's brother Merton was Borden's paper delivery boy also. The Luthers were ancestors of Laura's, not Lizzie's.
Where are Lizzie and Emma Borden buried?
Lizzie Borden is buried in the Borden family plot at Oak Grove Cemetery, Fall River, MA. Resting with her are her father Andrew, her biological mother Sarah, her sister Emma and I believe a sister that died before Lizzie's birth (named Alice). Lizzie's step-mother Abbey, whom was murdered with Andrew, (and Andrew's second wife) in August 1892 was buried with her own family in a neighboring town. Lizzie's tombstone bares the name LizBeth Borden, the name she took after her trial in 1893.
What is the Lizzie Borden house?
According to the current owner and some guests, the site of the Borden double murder is said to be haunted by Abbey, Andrew (infrequently) and Lizzie Borden herself. Now a bed and breakfast and Lizzie Borden museum there is never a shortage of brave people willing to spend the night with members of the Borden family, dead for over a century.
What strategy does A J Jennings use on the jury when making his opening remarks for the defense in Lizzie Borden's trial on June 15 1893?
Mention of his familiarity with the Borden family
Has anyone ever considered if Lizzie Bordens sister Emma may have been the killer?
In his book "Lizzie" author Frank Spiering claimed that Lizzie's sister Emma was not where everyone thought she was, and was indeed the killer. Lizzie and Emma were furious over a family dispute over a piece of real estate that Andrew Borden had given to his wife's side of the family. Abby Borden was Emma and Lizzie's stepmother, so to see some of their property going to someone 'outside' the immediate family caused a rift that could not be overcome.
What strategy did the prosecution use during the Lizzie Borden trial?
During the Lizzie Borden trial, the prosecution's strategy was to present a circumstantial case to convince the jury of Lizzie Borden's guilt. They focused on Lizzie's motive for the murders, inconsistencies in her statements, and physical evidence such as the hatchet found in the basement. The prosecution aimed to establish Lizzie Borden's opportunity, means, and motive to commit the crime.
Did Lizzie Bordens parents abuse her?
I sincerely doubt it. The entire family was under extreme scrutiny and there was never even a hint of any kind of abuse in the Borden house. That doesn't mean everything was perfect. There obviously were problems. The biggest problem went by the name of Abby, the stepmother. Lizzie did not get alone with Abby and refused to call her 'mother', even though she married Mr. Borden when Lizzie was quite small. But I think in Lizzie's mind she was abused, for the fact that her father was a miser and penny-pincher who refused to live on a grand scale even though he was one of the richest men in Fall River, MA. Lizzie always had grand ideas, a big house in a better neighborhood, entertaining, ect. Right before the murders Andrew was planning to make a new will. The Borden sisters had the idea most of their inheritance would go to Abby and her family. When these factors came together it probaby pushed Lizzie over the edge. The tension and hard feelings simmered for years, combined with her stingy father's reluctance to spend a dime and the making of a new will, and to Lizzie it may have seemed the end of the world. And it was, for Andrew and Abby Borden.
What does it mean if you have been having freaky dreams about Lizzie Borden who murdered her family back in the 1800's?
Lizzie was a murderess. Look at your relationships. Is there someone, or even you that may want to end or "put to rest" a current or past relationship? Firstly, Lizzie Borden was never convicted of killing her parents and was set free on a technicality .... someone didn't read 'her rights to her.' You could have seen a flash of a movie promotion on TV regarding Lizzie or, someone had mentioned her name in a conversation. Our subconscious picks up all sorts of information we aren't aware of. We are all human and sometimes we feel like ending someones life, but of course we don't and it possible you felt like hurting someone, but I highly doubt the gruesome murder's of Lizzie's parents would normally come into your mind unless otherwise stimulated by something you heard or saw. ==new answer== Death means change. Since the past is involved, therehas been a change you have made that you have not found a way to accept. Using information given above, to murder is to cause change without a purpose. Lizzie Borden's family wasn't all murdered, it was just her Stepmother Abby Borden and her biological father. Plus there really is no truth to whether Lizzie was the true killer behind her parents deaths.
Why did Lizzie Borden murder her parents?
Lizzie Borden was accused of murdering her parents, Andrew and Abby Borden, in 1892. The true motive for the murders has never been definitively proven, but theories suggest financial gain, strained family relationships, or mental health issues as potential factors. Lizzie Borden was acquitted at trial due to lack of evidence.
Was Lizzie Borden a kleptomaniac?
Lizzie Borden did in fact have 'sticky fingers'. It was hardly a secret to her family and merchants around Fall River. Storekeepers had an unspoken agreement with Lizzie's father Andrew. Lizzie would exercise her talent for five finger discounts when the mood struck, and the proprietor of said store would send Andrew the bill. Nothing was every said, silent agreements tend to be less embarassing for all concerned. But local business owners were not the only ones at the receiving end of Lizzie's thievery. Andrew himself had found cash missing from his bedroom. He had to keep the room locked while he was away from the house. Years after her aquittal for the murders of her father and stepmother, Lizzie was caught stealing from a local art dealer. Her earlier thefts may be rationalized by her lack of spending money due to her tight-fisted father, but with his death, Lizzie and her sister Emma were among the wealthiest women in the state. She obviously could afford to buy whatever she wished, yet she chose to steal reguardless of her financial situation. This seems to be a very telling and revealing fact into the psychi of Miss Borden.
