they were before, during, and after the crimes) are inconsistent within themselves and in comparison to other\u2019s versions of events. Famous for her contrary explanations, Lizzie Borden, in her Inquest testimony, offered up many different accounts of her whereabouts that fateful morning. While her contradictory answers may be due to stress and the doses of morphine she had been given to calm her nerves by family physician Dr. Bowen, her inability to remember properly where she was and exactly what she was doing has been the subject of debate for over a century.<\/p><p>Presented here are four timelines for your consideration. Each timeline (William Moody, John Morse, Bridget Sullivan, and Lizzie Borden) is based entirely upon their own testimony, either at the Inquest, Preliminary Hearing, or the trial itself. The Legal Chronology is simply a timeline of the court proceedings in the case.<\/p><p>The first chronology is based on provable facts that have been double checked for accuracy in several sources. The Probable Sequence of Events chronology is the only speculative work on the list. It is, however, the best guess possible, based on the evidence in this case.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-160fa6b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"160fa6b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f494e3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0f494e3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">LEGAL CHRONOLOGY<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a8f6cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8a8f6cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>AUG. 4, 1892<\/strong> Murders of Andrew and Abby Borden<\/p><p><strong>AUG. 6 <\/strong> Graveside Service<\/p><p><strong>AUG. 6<\/strong> Accusation Made By Mayor- Lizzie \u201csuspect\u201d<\/p><p><strong>AUG. 8<\/strong> Warrant Issued- not served<\/p><p><strong>AUG. 9-11<\/strong> INQUEST<\/p><p><strong>AUG. 11<\/strong> Lizzie Borden Arrested<\/p><p><strong>AUG. 12 <\/strong> Arraigned- \u201cprobable cause\u201d- pleaded \u201cnot guilty\u201d \u2013 sent to Taunton<\/p><p><strong>AUG. 25-SEPT. 1<\/strong> PRELIMINARY HEARING<\/p><p><strong>NOV. 7-21<\/strong> GRAND JURY- Taunton (also heard other cases)<\/p><p><strong>DEC. 1 <\/strong> GRAND JURY- reconvened (Alice Russell testimony)<\/p><p><strong>DEC. 2<\/strong> INDICTED<\/p><p><strong>MAY 8, 1893<\/strong> Arraigned- Superior Court- New Bedford<\/p><p><strong>JUNE 5-20<\/strong> TRIAL- acquittal<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52a2f6d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"52a2f6d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0082cf6 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"0082cf6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-efc636d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"efc636d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">CHRONOLOGY 1789-1892<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10951e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"10951e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Aug. 25. 1789<\/strong><br \/>Phebe Davenport born.

On the other side the half hour between eleven o\u2019clock and half past eleven must be diminished by the acts of Bridget and the acts of Mrs. Churchill and the acts of Cunningham which I have described.* I shall not attempt to fix that time; you can fix it better and measure it better yourselves when you come to hear the evidence of what was done by Bridget between the time Mr. Borden came and the noise was heard up stairs and what was done between the time when the alarm took place and the alarm reached the station house and the Marshal of Fall River.\u201d (pg.71).<\/p><p>*(Mrs. Churchill is called over from next door, arrives to find Lizzie wants someone to go for a doctor, and she hurries away \u201cdiagonally across the street\u201d to the stables to give the alarm and is seen and overheard by Cunningham, who phones the police and newspapers.).

Doherty, p. 4). By afternoon, there was a convention of doctors in the house all in consultation, and with bloodied hands (W.S., Bridget, Dr. Dedrick, p. 22).<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">The following Sequence of Events is an attempt to sort through the excited confusion and detail who came when according to their summons, even though there is a natural conflict of statements. The interesting outcome of this research was to find how often Lizzie called for assistance only to send that person away again on some errand. This left her (unusually) alone in the several key moments after the first outcry, alone possibly with a murderer loose in the house she refused to vacate.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Aug. 4, 1892<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Lizzie calls out for Bridget, approx. 11:10 a.m. (p. 27)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Lizzie sends Bridget for Dr. Bowen (p. 27)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Bridget returns alone (p. 28)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Lizzie sends Bridget for Alice Russell (p. 28)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Mrs. Churchill comes from next door while Bridget gone (p. 281 \u2013 282)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Lizzie was alone (p. 282)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Mrs. Churchill goes for help (p. 283)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Mrs. Churchill returns (p. 284)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Lizzie was alone (p. 284)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Dr. Bowen comes (p. 28, 273)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Bridget returns (p. 273)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Lizzie, Bridget and Mrs. Churchill go into the kitchen (p. 284)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Lizzie mentions cemetery to Mrs. Churchill (p. 278)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Dr. Bowen goes into sitting room to view Andrew\u2019s body (p. 274)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Alice Russell comes (p.30, p. 274, Inquest, p. 148)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Mrs. Churchill and Bridget go up back stairs to get sheets (p. 274)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Officer Allen comes with private citizen Mr. Sawyer (Witness Statements, p. 1)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Officer Allen leaves (W.S., p. 1)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Mr. Sawyer stays at door (W.S., p. 12)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Dr. Bowen leaves to send telegram to Emma, etc. (p. 274)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Bridget and Mrs. Churchill find Abby\u2019s body up stairs in guest room (p. 29, 30)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Bridget is sent for Mrs. Dr. Bowen (p. 84)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Bridget returns (p. 479)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Lizzie, Alice, Mrs. Churchill and Bridget are all in the kitchen (p. 285)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Mrs. Dr. Bowen comes (p. 479)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Dr. Bowen returns (p. 2 75 &amp; W.S., p. 4)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Lizzie, Alice, Mrs. Churchill, Bridget and Mrs. Dr. Bowen all go into the dining room (p. 480)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Mrs. Dr. Bowen is sent home (p. 480)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Officer Doherty comes (W.S., p. 1)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Officer Allen comes right after (W.S., p. 1)<\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Officer Allen told about Abby\u2019s body found, leaves again (W.S., p. 1)<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa584b9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"fa584b9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew Borden in deathThe sitting room of the Borden house.Abby Borden in DeathThe guest bedroom on the second floor of the Borden house.The Vicinity of the Borden HouseFrom the Boston Globe.
