That's better poetry than anything the CalPig has ever written.
It does border on plagiarizing Lizzie Borden, though.
Interesting subject as all this happened in my neck of the woods oh so long ago.
My school friends grandparents that either knew the family in Mass or New Hampshire where the sisters moved after the trial just loved to talk about the Mystery. I guess I was raised on the ideas of those living at the time. Everything I have read about the case just brings up more and more questions.
Strange family, the stepmother was not spoken well of and the father to the two girls was questionable in his business ethics.
The young sister was what at that time called Fay and every few months shipped off to receive some kind of treatments. It was said that Lizzie a bright and handsome women turned down offers to be courted by the dozens as she needed to protect her younger sister. [From what ] ?
Mean while the step mother needed both girls to do the house work, cook and carry coal to the stoves ,wash clothing and what ever back then. No way was she to loose the stepdaughters
Now we come on the mysterious business man that visited just the very day before the killings. He did spend the night an was out of there on the early morning train.
So was this mysterious man there to court Lizzie or her half wit sister ? The Father was well to do, enough to keep his daughters well set.
So a man marries a dummy with a bank roll, happens all the time.
