The Inquest of Dr. Seabury Bowen, w/ 2 Excerpts of The Knowlton Papers
Lizzie Borden Audio06/05/23 • 30 min
Dr. Bowen was summoned shortly after Lizzie Borden discovered the body of her father, Andrew Borden, dead in the sitting room with his head smashed open by a hatchet. Shortly after Doc Bowen arrived he encountered several witnesses and gave his timeline of events and sadly, described how Mrs. Borden visited his office early Wednesday morning stating that someone was trying to poison her the day before the murders.
Bowen made acute observations on Lizzie and Bridget's behavior including what they were wearing, their composure, and whether or not Lizzie was fainting or crying as the papers said she "was having fainting fits."

Transcript
And now HK 130.
Rev. R.M. DevensDear Sir! There has been a deal said about the impossibility of Lizzie Borden killing her father and mother without her clothing being stained with blood. Now every woman knows that her gossamer waterproof cloak such as every woman owns will protect the clothing completely and that a fire hot enough for our ironing would reduce it to ashes in less than five minutes.
