Crystal+Lizzie+Borden

== =Lizzie Borden = = = = = =Lizzie Borden was accused of killing her parents (Andrew and Abby) by chopping them up with an ax. It only makes sense that Lizzie was the killer, no one else was home except the maid Bridget. But there wasn't enough evidence to PROVE that Lizzie really was the killer. No one could find the murder weapon, there was no blood on any of Lizzie's clothes, and she did not have time to despose of the weapon or clothes. One man, Frank Spiering, looked at some of the facts, and realized that the real killer was Lizzie's sister, Emma Borden. Lizzie was actually trying to murder her parents before Emma suceeded, but she was going to use posion, NOT an ax. Lizzie went to open the front door to buy the poison, and Emma was standing there. Emma locked the three locks, then snuck up the stairs to where Abby was making a bed. She crept up behind Abby then swung the ax down. Abby fell to her knees, and tried to stand, but the ax kept hitting her. Emma finally stopped when Abby's head was barely held on. Downstairs Andrew Borden had just gotten home, he was lying on the couch, "resting his eyes before dinner". He opened his eyes to slits just before the ax sliced through the air, splitting his nose open. He was hit a few more times, until "anyone who knew him, could no longer recognize him." Emma left the house, and Lizzie went to get the doctor. Soon the Borden household was full of neighbors, and policemen. It was said that Lizzie was seen "burning something that looked like an ax handle wrapped in paper", and she had ripped up the dress she wore the day of the murders. Both of those two things were pretty strong evidence against her, but in the end she was not convicted. If she had been, she would have been the first women to die in the electric chair. The real killer (Emma) was never found out. =
