Читать книгу Lizzie Didn't Do It; Emma Did! - E. Elaine Watson - Страница 2

Forward

Thousands and thousands of words have been written about the Lizzie Borden double murder case that took place in Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1892. In addition to the printed page, there are hundreds of web sites online where one can examine all the evidence, take a virtual tour of the murder house, and read the trial transcripts, etc.

In spite of all this, here is another book about the case. But this book is different. Yes, the evidence is the same, the testimony of the witnesses is the same, and the victims are the same. But I am going to take you through the case and bring you to a different conclusion.

I am going to bring you face to face with the real murderer. Helping me arrive at this solution to the case has been my sister, Diane E. Watson, who has spent many hours in research. I thank her for that and for her encouragement. I could not have written this book without her help. I want to thank Dennis Binette, the Assistant Curator at Fall River Historical Society, for giving me permission to use photos from their web site.

Also, I thank my cats, Chummy, Cookie, Cody and Pulsatilla, for sleeping during the hours I worked on these pages. Finally, I thank you, the reader, for once again traveling to Fall River to the house at 92 Second Street. I think you will enjoy this trip.
