Lizzy Borden took an axe. Gave her father 40 whacks. When she saw what she had done. She gave her mother 41. Lizzy's trial was the trial of the century in 1892. He father was a miser who married a second time. It has been sebated over the past 100 or so years about her innocence. A jury found her not guilty but her neighbors and eventually her sister shunned her. Fall River, Mass. Has never been the same since. FYI the house where the Bordens were killed is a B&B. You can sleep in Lizzy's bedroom or the final resting place of her stepmother in the upstairs guest bedroom!!!!
