The Legend of Lizzie Borden, its not for the faint of heart, for it ends in the double murder...that shattered two skulls apart. It was the fourth day of August in 1892. The quaint town of Fall River was of the usual view. 15 new companies...22 mills in full operation. The resulting wealth of Andrew Borden was the towns admiration. But Abby, Emma, and Lizzie were not able to live proper, for Andrew was dreadfully frugal, making his family live like paupers. Lizzie was most affected by Andrews money tight constraint, for the banishment from the upper class was her only complaint. So ten after 11:00 on that dreadful day, Lizzie called out for help with such disarray. Someones killed father, she despondently claimed. But the town, in an uproar, professed that she was to blame. So Lizzie was arrested and rushed off to jail, and they caged her ten months, for they refused her bail. And when the trial finally came about, they assumed a conviction would come without doubt. A picture of Andrew shown to the jury, causing the entire town even more fury, and the haunting photo of who once was Abby gave the crime scene even more gravity. All the evidence was not in Lizzies defense, and the trial came to an end with a weighted suspense, the jury stood to give their verdict aloud. Not guilty was declared and shocked the crowd. Innocence proven, she expects sympathy and esteem, but instead she was banished as a murderer they would deem. đ¶Lizzie Borden took an ax and gave her mother 40 whacks and when she saw what she had done she gave her father 41đ¶
