THE WORLD, New York, June 17, 1893 

* Lizzie Borden axe murders
* Fall River, Massachusetts


Over 3 1/2 columns of page 3 are taken up with great & detailed report of the Lizzie Borden trial, headed: "ALL THE EVIDENCE IN" "Lizzie Borden's Case to Be Argued by the Lawyers Monday" "On Tuesday Morning the Case Will Be Given to the Jury" "Emma L. Borden, the Prisoner's Sister, Testifies in Her Behalf" and many subheads (see). This reporting also includes 3 captioned illustrations, one: "Counsel Jennings Opening the Case For the Defense" and another: "No Blood Stains on This Hatchet". A wealth of great reporting.
Fourteen pages, evenly toned, various small marginal tears with minor edge chipping, 2 small archival mends to the front page, generally good. Should be handled with care.
