Borden at inquest, August 9-11, 1892, Fall River Courtroom
August 4, 1892
Lizzie Borden drained the rest of her tea, set down her cup,
and listened to the sound of furniture moving upstairs. My, my, for only ten o’clock in the morning my stepmother is certainly
energetic. Housecleaning, already?
THUMP.
For a moment, Lizzie forgot her plans to go
shopping downtown. THUMP. There it went again. It sounded like her stepmother
was rearranging the whole room. She paused at the bottom stair, her concern
growing, when she heard another thump and then, the oddest of sounds—a moan.

Trial of Lizzie Borden, June 5, 1893
Fall River, Massachusetts—October, 1893
Lizzie Borden
sprang awake, startled by a sound she never expected, or wanted to hear again—a
low, eerie keen that made her skin crawl and the long, straight hairs on her
neck curl up into tight ringlets.
“No, no!” She
jumped out of bed and ran to the window, her heart pounding in fear. “Please,
don’t let it be!”
The chaotic scene on the street below filled her
with disbelief and horror. No matter which direction she looked, she saw pure
evil—groups of the undead she’d truly thought were gone forever.
