this is not a literal anagram, but all letters are in the name.  if nothing else it's kind of fun.  i came up with these.  i wonder if anybody else can come up with some.  now, it would be funny if that's where the solution lies, wouldn't it?

LIZZIE ANDREW BORDEN:

Yea!  You proved it by winning a PRIZE for  500 of them!

Have you got any here, of haulover's?
I'm not too good at these.  The Contest one I only got 136 words.

I'm good at "Spotting The Differences".  I try to do it within a minute.

actually there is free software that will literally find every word in the english language.  i was toying with the idea of making sentences.  i had trouble finding a verb that would describe the murder act -- no "k" for kill, no "m" for murder, no "s" for struck.  then i realized "nailed" would work.  likewise, no "x" for axe.  but there is "blade."  i'm looking for a word to represent abby.  for andrew, there is "dad." 

here's one:  dad laid down, dozed, and died.

here's one for abby:  one died near nine.

and:  a blade drew blood near an ear.  blood rained near a bed. 

perhaps this is stretching it (maybe not, if it's worth investigating) but if you adjust the spelling of abby's name . . . abbie needed new linen on a bed and died in a daze.

here's one for an innocent lizzie:  lizzie did no bad deed.

i don't know what the odds are in this, but i remember (can't remember the name of the book or any details) but i once saw where someone really worked at this and the results were amazing.  (not lizzie.)  one was abraham lincoln.

Your "blade rained blood" is great.  Could be a good title for a new Lizzie book.  Wish we could find the book you mentioned.
