Did Lizzie borden ever go to jail?
Lizzie never married. A couple of biographys written about her life proclaim that she was gay. There is some evidence that supports this theory. The fact that Lizzie had a relationship with a New York stage actress named Nance O'Neil is well documented. Harder to prove is that it was a sexual relationship. It was at this time though that Emma, Lizzie's older sister, moved out of the house they shared, after some kind of disagreement. It was serious enough that the sisters never reconciled.
Is Lizzie Borden family of Gail Borden?
Lizzie Borden's family was a distant relation to the Borden's of the Borden food company.
What school did Lizzie Borden attend?
Lizzie Borden lived her entire life in Fall River, MA. With the exception of a 30th birthday gift to Europe, she stayed close to home. She attented the public schools and did I think 1 year of finishing school. This was quite common for girls of this era and her social standing. After that her days were filled keeping up the house, teaching Sunday school, and other civic activities.
What are the motives Lizzie had to kill her parents?
True to Victorian times, family dysfuntions were hidden to outsiders. In the Bordon home, 92 Second St., these people lived by this unspoken rule. Disputes over money and real estate, resentments between step-mother and step daughters, Andrew's miserly penny-pinching ways, and lack of control over her own life due to the fact that unmarried women in the 19th century were the property of the father or closest male relative.
Andrew was a self-made man, amassing a fortune by shrewd business practices and a Scrooge-type attitude about money. Lizzie wanted a bigger house, complete with indoor plumbing and upscale neighborhood, befitting a family of the Borden's social status. Add to this, an already tense relationship of stepmother/daughters and Andrew's decision to transfere Borden real estate to Abbey's family, who was not a blood relation, were the catylists to the explosion of violence from Lizzie. Her post-crime behaviour was highly suspect, both short-term and long-term. With her parents dead, Lizzie lived the life she had dreamed of. She bought the big house and gave lavish parties, mostly to out-of-towners. The people of Fall River were not as willing to forgive and/or forget. She was shunned for the rest of her life. At the time of her death in 1927 she had spent almost her entire inheritance, approximately $250,000, an enormous amount of money for the time.
How about 'Due to the mores and double-standards of Victorian-era America, the jury rejected the evidence at trial to aquitt a female killer'.
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.
Many times the dynamics within a family can be hard to guage. People get very good at living a lie, presenting a unified and happy picture. That being said, there has never, as far as I know, been any proof whatsoever, that Lizzie was abused in any way. If she was it has been kept a secret for over a century.
While it is true that some abused children may lash out at others, Lizzie did not seem to exhibit behaviors that would give one to think that their family was anything but average, with the exception, of course, the double axe murders.
Many people that have normal childhoods, can and do commit murder as adults. Unless new evidence is uncovered, it is safe to say that Lizzie got impatient and hastened her inheritence by murdering her parents.
Despite the theories that Emma was the actual killer she had a rock solid aliby. She was in another town visiting friends for the week. She absolutely could not have been the killer.
What was the name of the actress that was with Lizzie Borden?
Actress Nance O'Neil had a close friendship with Lizzie Borden, it was rumoured that their relationship was romantic
Why was the Lizzie Borden trial important?
Of course every trial is important to the parties involved. But the Borden case was significant for several reasons. Life in Victorian-era America was structured and somewhat proper compared to today's relaxed attitudes. Women are viewed differently, no longer refered to as the 'weaker' sex. Women of Lizzie's time period were taught to be ladylike and demure. So to imagine a young woman from a good, Christian family committing double murder, with an axe no less, was almost ridiculous. And I believe it was this very attitude that allowed for Lizzie's aquittal for the murders.
Borden also set the prescident of using personal wealth and influence to buy the best defense available. Loepold and Loeb and OJ Simpson followed suit and saved their necks with expensive and persuasive councel.
But with the Borden case it is important to note, although Lizzie was aquitted, left to spend her father's hard-earned money, she was forever more a social outcast. Her jury was far more tolerant the the people of small town Fall River, MA. Her victory was a hollow one, and an expensive one in terms of human relations. Several years after the murders, Lizzie (or LizBeth as she liked to be called) and older sister Emma had a rift that was to last for the rest of their lives. The sisters died within days of each other in 1927 and were buried beside their parents in the family plot.
What alibi did Lizzie Borden give to police?
She actually gave a couple. One was she was ironing handkerchiefs in the downstairs of the house. Then her story changed to include her trip to the barn loft to look for sinkers for an upcoming fishing trip. They must not have bought it because she was arrested and held in the towns jail until her trial.
What is the central point of Lizzie Borden?
The central point is Andrew and Abbey Borden were hacked to death with an axe right under the nose of Lizzie and she was aquitted of the crime.

Is there a real address on the up the hill house that supposedly was bought by Lizzie Borden?
After the murder of Andrew and Abbie Borden, Lizzie and Emma Borden never returned to the family home. They bought 306 French Street, in the Highland's neighborhood of Fall River, MA. The 14 room Queen Ann Victorian home was home to LizBeth (as she insisted on being called after her aquittal) from 1894 until her death in 1927.
Emma lived there with LizBeth only for a few years. The sisters had some sort of falling out, Emma left, and the two remained unreconciled for the rest of their lives. Since LizBeth lived in a fancier neighborhood she named her house Maplecroft, which she had inscribed on the front steps.
Unfortunately, LizBeth, although aquitted by the jury, was condemned by the people of Fall River. With her father's money she was finally able to live in a grand house, but she had very few visitors and even less friends.
Note:
There have been documents found and the information is outstanding. The document will be ready to read when the procedure for preservation is complete.
How many counts of murder was Lizzie Borden charged with?
Oddly enough, Lizzie was charged with three counts of first degree murder. One count each for Andrew and Abbey Borden's death and an additional count for Andrew and Abbey together. I'm not exactly sure why the prosecutor filed the additional charge or what the laws in MA were at the time of the murders, which was 1892.
Who wrote Lizzie Borden took an axe?
I'm afraid that may be lost to the ages. The Borden murders and Lizzie's trial and aquittal generated so much publicity there is no way to distinguish when and where the axe rhyme originated.
Who was on the Lizzie Borden trial?
The Borden case is one of the most interesting in American history. The fact that the case remains unsolved adds to the mystery. There was a handful of suspects but most were cleared of the double murder of Andrew and Abby Borden. In any murder, those closest to the victims are the most likely to be considered first. In the house that hot summer morning was Andrew, Abby, Lizzie and the Borden's maid Bridget Sullivan. A distant relative of the Borden's and a house guest at the time of the murders, John Morse was also considered a suspect early in the investigation. Lizzie's older sister Emma was actually miles away visiting friends in another town.
Morse had left the house after breakfast and his whereabouts were easy to verify, attending to some buisiness, securing his rock-solid aliby. So we know where Emma and Morse were, which leaves Lizzie or Bridget or as Lizzie claimed, a murdering intruder. This theory is the most farfetched and unbelievable scenario of all. There was as estimated 1 1/2 hrs. between the two murders. It is highly unlikely an intruder would have remained in the house for 90 long minutes with threat of discovery inevitable, considering that Lizzie and Bridget were doing chores in and around the house. So that leaves the suspect list much shorter. Lizzie or Bridget. Bridget had no reason to commit a double murder. And her story remained the same reguardless how many times she was interrogated. So that leaves only Lizzie. She had the means, motive, opportunity and desire to live a more opulent lifestyle than her pennypinching father would allow. Together with other circumstancial evidense makes for a very strong case with Lizzie as the killer. In fact, it is the only scenario that makes any sense at all. Fearing a change in her father's will and years of animosity probably pushed Lizzie to commit these murders.
OK - Given that, legally, it is still, officially, an unsolved murder - "shadow of a doubt", and all that. In the revue "New Faces of 1952", there was a song called "Fall River Hoedown", later recorded by the Chad Mitchell Trio and commonly called simply "Lizzie Borden". The song is comedy, and also implies that there was little doubt Lizzie did it.
