The Fall River Tragedy: A History Of The Borden Murders

Reprint of the sole edition. Originally published: Fall River: J.D. Munroe, 1893. 312 pp. Illustrated. Compiled nearly contemporaneously with Lizzie's sensational trial, the author aims to provide "a connected story of the whole case, commencing with the day of the tragedy and ending with the day that Miss Borden was set free." He touches on such topics as the discovery of the murders, the adjournment of the preliminary hearing and some the many theories that were advanced before any arrests were made. The book is handsomely illustrated with photos and line illustrations of the deceased, the accused the jury and others.
