The Commonwealth of Massachusetts vs. Lizzie A. Borden, The Knowlton Papers, 1892-1893
edited by Michael Martins & Dennis A. Binette
In 1892, Lizzie Andrew Borden was accused of the brutal August 4 murders of her father, Andrew Jackson Borden, and her step-mother, Abby Durfee (Gray) Borden. Vindicated by due process of the charges brought against her, Miss Borden returned to Fall River, Massachusetts, only to face the life sentence inflicted upon her by her contemporaries, that of being ostracized. Prosecuting attorney Hosea Morrill Knowlton gladly relinquished his position in the public eye, proceeding with a career which was to bring him numerous successes in the final decade of his life.
Interestingly, with the plethora of paperwork that can accumulate in a lifetime, the only legal file retained by Attorney Knowlton was that of his most famous case, a case that was not ruled in his favor.
Originally published in 1994, The Knowlton Papers was the first collection of primary source material to ever appear in print on the Borden case and was published to wide acclaim.
