Hi folks,
Thanks for letting me in to this forum. It's great to be suddenly among experts on the Borden case!
I got interested in the Borden case through Agatha Christie: she mentions the case in several books and about a week ago I went to see if this was a real case. I got fascinated almost at once! What's so fascinating about the Borden case is that, with the wealth of information we have, it should be easy to see who killed the Bordens, yet it isn't.
And there's so many little things in the testimonies that raise questions! I hope you won't mind if I put some of those on this forum later on.
But first: I understand that the Preliminaries aren't available in electronic form at the moment. Do you know of a second hand account of them that is electronically available and can be trusted?

Airmid.
