FEATURES

92 Second Street: Profile of the House of Murder
92 Second St.

How shocked and astonished Charles Trafton would be if he knew the events that occurred in his modest two-family dwelling, and how it became one of the most well known residences in America.
By Michael Brimbau


The Doctor Next Door: Michael Kelly
Kelly House

Chances are that if Mrs. Mary Caroline Kelly had not given testimony at the trial of Lizzie Borden, her husband, Michael F. Kelly, and their home next door to the Borden’s house on Second Street would have been forgotten by now.
By Shelley Dziedzic


Myth Busting Lizzie Borden
Myth Busting Lizzie Borden

This letter, with this information about Andrew being such a nice guy and paying for the reburial of his wife’s
mother, has stayed with me since I first read it. I have quoted this find as proof positive that Andrew wasn’t such a miser after all—that he had forked over a sum of money in an effort to do something nice.
By Stefani Koorey, Ph.D.


Lizzie Borden Rocks!
Lizzie Borden Rocks

An interview with Tim Manor, co-creator of the rock musical Lizzie Borden.


Of Tongue and Pen
Fiction

For more than two months, the household
had experienced a peace that had not existed
during the past three years. Or so, at least, thought
Mrs. Andrew Borden, although she never would
have voiced the sentiment to her husband.
By David Marshall James


Lizzie Borden's Confession
Lizzie Borden's Confession

"Lizzie has told us another lie, worse than a lie—a confession!"
By Laura Rudolph


I Did It! By Donel Fettibone: A Review
I did it

This booklet is eye-catching and attractively
designed, and upon examining the cover more closely
there is attribution given to Lisa Churchill. She is also
named as providing “Editing”—which is curious, as
there is no editing apparent within this book.
By Kat Koorey


The Cutting Room: Critical Notes on the Borden Legacy. The Closing Argument for the Commonwealth: Did Hosea Knowlton Author the Legend?
Knowlton

Knowlton begins his summation with an acknowledgment that this is a painful case, that the crimes in connection with the identity of the accused, together with the duty of the jury – “there is that in it all which lacerates the heartstrings of humanity.”
By Eugene Hosey


Denise Noe's Lizzie Whittlings: A Fresh Look at Frankenstein
Lizzie's Funeral

Since Mary Shelley unleashed the extraordinary
novel Frankenstein on the world in 1818, the Creature,
often called by the book’s title, has securely fastened
onto the common imagination. Perhaps no fictional
creation more deeply frightens and more utterly
enthralls than the being Victor Frankenstein fashioned
out of the parts of human corpses and brought to life via
the zing of electricity.
