20 June 1893 - JURY CONCLUDES LIZZIE BORDEN DID NOT TAKE AN AX TO
FAMILY: Following a sensational Massachusetts murder trial, Lizzie
Borden, 32, is cleared of charges that she killed her father and
stepmother with multiple blows from a hatchet. Borden will never shake
off the notoriety, however, inspiring a gruesome folk rhyme still sung
today.

No one else was charged in the murders, and despite ostracism from other
residents, Borden spent the remainder of her life in Fall River. She
died of pneumonia at age 66, just days before the death of her older
sister, Emma.

The Borden murders and trial received widespread publicity throughout
the United States, and along with Borden herself, they remain a topic in
American popular culture to the present day. They have been depicted in
numerous films, theatrical productions, literary works, and folk rhymes
and are still very well-known in the Fall River area.
