Mass. businesses battle over Lizzie Borden legacy<\/p>\n
BOSTON — Two Massachusetts businesses are battling in court over the macabre legacy of Lizzie Borden.<\/p>\n
The owner of the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast in Fall River — which is in the home where many believe Borden used an ax to hack her father and stepmother to death in 1892 — has filed a federal lawsuit to prevent a new museum and gift shop in Salem from using Borden’s name.<\/p>\n
The owner of the Fall River facility says in his suit the Salem attraction infringes on his trademark.<\/p>\n
He’s asking a judge to prevent the Salem museum from using the term Lizzie Borden in a trade name, trademark, domain name or e-mail address.<\/p>\n
The owners of the Salem facility say their museum will actually bring more interest to Fall River.<\/p>\n
Borden was acquitted, but many people think she got away with murder.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
