I wonder if anyone knows the answer to this. Does anyone know when was the last time John Morse visited the Bordens?

Per his inquest testimony, he visited the Borden's around July 10th. He provides more details about that and previous visits on pages 95 & 96. You can find the inquest testimony on the 'free' site, "Lizzie Borden Virtual Library" in the primary source documents.

Thank you! I just found the inquest on Lizzie Borden audio podcast. It was interesting listening to them, especially Dr. Bowen. But I wished Lizzie would slow down with the “sir” every two seconds. lol

Hola!
May I ask about the podcast? Is it a recreation of the Inquest of Lizzie with voice actors?
Did you find it helpful, or did you think the director skewed the emphasis?
Sounds interesting…do you have a link, possibly, or search terms? Thanks!
