qiaozhaoshu的回答：Lizzie Borden
Dates: July 19, 1860 - June 1, 1927 Known for: famous -- or infamous -- for allegedly murdering her father and stepmother in 1892 (she was acquitted), and memorialized in the children's rhyme: Lizzie Borden took an axe And gave her mother forty whacks And when she saw what she had done She gave her father forty-one
Lizzie Borden was born in, and lived her life in, Fall River, Massachusetts. Her father was Andrew Borden, and her mother, Sarah, died when Lizzie was less than three years old. Lizzie had another sister, Emma, who was nine years older. Another daughter, between Emma and Lizzie, died in infancy. Andrew Borden remarried in 1865. His second wife, Abby Durfree Gray, and the two sisters, Lizzie and Emma, lived mostly quietly and uneventfully, until 1892. Lizzie was active at church, including teaching Sunday School and membership in the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). In 1890, Lizzie Borden traveled abroad briefly with some friends. Lizzie Borden's father had become comfortably wealthy, and was known as tight with his money. The house, while not small, had no modern plumbing. In 1884 when Andrew gave his wife's half-sister a house, his daughters objected and fought with their stepmother, refusing thereafter to call her "mother" and calling her simply "Mrs. Borden" instead. Andrew tried to make peace with his daughters, in 1887 giving them some funds and allowing them to rent out his old family home. In 1891, tensions in the family were strong enough that, after some apparent thefts from the master bedroom, each of the Bordens bought locks for their bedrooms. In July of 1892, Lizzie Borden and her sister Emma went to visit some friends; Lizzie returned and Emma remained away. In early August, Andrew and Abby Borden were struck with an attack of vomiting, and Mrs. Borden told someone that she suspected poison. The brother of Lizzie's mother came to stay at the house, and on August 4, this brother and Andrew Borden went into town together. Andrew returned alone and lay down in the sitting room. The maid, who had earlier been ironing and washing windows, was taking a nap when Lizzie called to her to come downstairs -- Lizzie said that her father had been killed while she (Lizzie) went to the barn. He had been hacked in the face and head with an axe or hatchet. After a doctor was called, Abby was found, also dead, in a bedroom, also hacked many times (the later investigation said twenty times, not forty as in the children's rhyme) with an axe or hatchet. Later tests showed that Abby had died 1-2 hours before Andrew; because Andrew died without a will, this meant that his estate, worth about $300,000 to $500,000, would go to his daughters, and not to Abby's heirs. Lizzie Borden was arrested. Evidence included a report that she'd tried to burn a dress a week after the murder (a friend testified it had been stained with paint), and reports that she had tried to buy a poison just before the murders. The murder weapon was never found for certain -- a hatchet head that may have been washed and deliberately made to look dirty was found in the cellar -- nor any blood-stained clothes. Lizzie Borden's trial began June 3, 1893. It was widely covered by the press locally and nationally. Some Massachusetts feminists wrote in Lizzie Borden's favor. Townspeople split into two camps. Lizzie Borden did not testify, having told the inquest that she had been searching the barn for fishing equipment and then eating pears outside during the time of the murders. She said "I am innocent. I leave it to my counsel to speak for me." Without direct evidence of Lizzie Borden's part in the murder, the jury was not convinced of her guilt. Lizzie Borden was acquitted on June 20, 1893. She remained in Fall River, buying a new and bigger home she called "Maplecroft," and calling herself Lizbeth instead of Lizzie. She lived with her sister Emma until they had a falling-out in 1904 or 1905, possibly over Emma's displeasure at Lizzie's friends from the New York theater crowd. Both Lizzie and Emma also took in many pets, and left part of their estates to the Animal Rescue Leauge. Lizzie Borden died at Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1927, her legend as a murderess still strong. She was buried next to her father and stepmother. The home in which the murders took place opened as a bed-and-breakfast in 1992. Two books which each revived public interest in the case:
