Gwen, in her blog Things in My Head, has posted 5 questions that she would like to ask Lizzie Borden. Her post inspired me to add my five questions. Perhaps you have questions as well?
Here are her questions:
1) Let’s get the obvious one out of the way. Did you do it? Did Emma do it? People have written books supporting you both did it or you did or just Emma did it.
2) Did you know someone turned the house on Second Street into a bed and breakfast? People pay over $200 for a night even in Bridget’s old room.
3) Where you and Nance O’Neil girlfriends? Or just friends?
4) Did your father have things to do with you or Emma? There is definitely a something is very wrong vibe there.
5) Why did Emma move out after all those years together? Did she confront you about Nance O’Neil and your theater friends? Just couldn’t stand the sight of each other anymore?
My questions are:
1) Why did you stay in Fall River after your acquittal?
2) Did you burgle your own house on June 24, 1891?
3) Did you celebrate birthdays and holidays like Christmas in your home as you were growing up?
4) Were you a kleptomaniac?
5) After Emma moved out, did you communicate with her again ever, either in person, by telephone, or letter?
