About this book
A crowded street outside a Fall River house marks the beginning of Edwin H. Porter's account of the Borden case. Published in 1893, this nonfiction history follows the deaths of Andrew and Abbie Borden, the police investigation and the proceedings against Lizzie Borden. Porter identifies himself as a newspaper police reporter and explains that his account draws on official sources and testimony presented in court.
The contents trace searches, competing theories, preliminary hearings and the Superior Court trial. In the supplied courtroom passage, household tasks, breakfast times and the fastening of doors become matters of evidence. Those details show how ordinary routines can acquire significance when lawyers reconstruct a disputed sequence of events. The book offers readers interested in American legal history a period account of investigation, witness testimony and the presentation of a case to a jury.
