Biography
Lizzy Borden lived in a quiet American town of the United States in the 19th century. The story with mysterious murder turned the biography of the provincial teacher in the legend, from which a hundred years later, a chill runs on his back. No wonder in the circumstances of an undisclosed case, they are trying to figure out so far, and Lizzy still becomes the heroine of numerous books, films and serials.Childhood and youth
Lizzy's life was held in the town of Fall River State Massachusetts, where she was born on July 19, 1860. Buden and her older sister Emma were brought up in strict conservative traditions - visited the church, honored the elders and engaged in needlework. Early remaining without a mother, the girls were brought up by a stepmother, with which, however, warm relations did not work out. Father also could not be called mental man, although he did everything to do not need her daughter.
Andrew Jackson Borden himself endured need, and therefore made every effort to embrace people. As a result, the man has established furniture production, was engaged in construction, owned the top three of large textile factories and was part of the Board of Directors of the Bank. It was consistent with considerable condition: by the time of death, it was estimated at $ 300 thousand, which in the modern equivalent amounts to over $ 8 million.
Andrew responded as a borrowing: in his 2-storey building in the second street there was no water supply and electricity, although they were already firmly entered into use of secured people. There were men and misfortunes, but he turned little attention to them. 3 years after the death of the first wife, Sarah Anthony Morse, he married Abby Duri Gray. The daughters suspected a stepmother in mercenary motifs, and therefore they always treated it wary and called Mrs. Borden exclusively.
The sisters occupied an active position in the life of the local church, where Lizzy taught on Sunday School, engaged in the children of immigrants. She took part in the Christian social movements and missions, consisted with them the treasurer and enjoyed in the city a reputation of a flat-growing girl.
Personal life
Lizzy, like her sister, was never married. However, her personal life after the death of the Father became the subject of the Obiden. The girl was suspected of lesbian bond with Bridget Sullivan maid, which Maggie was called in the family. This topic was rejoiced in cinema, for example, in the film 2018 "Revenge of Lizzy Borden", where the main role was played by Chloe Seviny, and the image of the maid on the screen embodied Kristen Stewart. Craig William McNell became the director of the psychological thriller.I did not avoid this motive and in the series dedicated to the biography of the American, who came out in 2015 and was called the "Chronicles of Lizzy Borden." The heroine, which became the subject of century-old disputes, brilliantly played Christina Ricci. In 2014, she already appeared in this image in the television film "Lizzy Borden took an ax."
The question of the non-traditional sexual orientation of the woman rose again in 1904, when she began to communicate with the actress Nance O'Neill. This friendship was as close as he caused over. After one of the parties arranged in honor of the girlfriend, Lizzy forever said goodbye to his native sister. Something outraged Emma left the junior bunded house and no longer met her until the end of days.
Murder, investigation and court
The American horror history has unfolded on August 4, 1892 in the mansion Andrew Bordene. The owner of the house was found brutally killed. Not far from the bloody corpse, the men were found and the remains of his wife, with which they ended a little earlier, but in the same way. The investigation found that the death of bundles occurred due to the blows of the ax.
At the time of the commission of atrocity in the house was Lizzy, whose laughter heard the maid, having resting at the top. The sister of Emma on the eve went to friends to another city, and John Morse, uncle for the mother who gave them to that time, left the affairs and had an iron alibi. The murder tool was counted the ax that Abby had more than 17 shots were applied. Her husband died from 11 strokes. The examination showed that the killer attacked a man when he slept.
Bordene's body discovered Lizzy, which called for the help of the maid. The daughter became the main suspect in this strange business. In the investigation, there were other versions, but the girl's bright and contradictory testimony spoke against her.
