A man ... wants to give his wife ... the interest in a little homestead where her sister lives. How wicked to have found fault with it. How petty to have found fault with it. (Hosea Knowlton in his closing argument.)

There's so much mis-information on the Borden case, it would take a lotta time and effort (in looking up the exact info) to correct every site that did it. I don't know if it'd be worth writing to the website or writer to correct them. Sometimes a website will just ignore you for your efforts, but they might correct it and thank you.
I did enjoy the link given for "History's Mysteries" on the hatchet.
The hip bath collection contained no skull at all, whether real or a cast of one. It did contain:
- Photographs
- Hatchet and hood
- Tags from trial exhibits
- Hair switch and bloody handkerchief
- Pillow sham and bedspreads
- Newspaper clippings of the case
- Stenographer's minutes of the preliminary trial
- Blueprints of floor plans of Borden house
- Boston Globe, day-to-day record
- Boston Herald - account of trial
- Hair in envelopes
- Red leather notebooks

They don’t call that magazine Cracked for nothin’. It’s a sort of inferior step-child to Mad … remember them? (Taking anything written in Cracked seriously is…well, roughly akin to reading something in the old Weekly World News and wondering, “Now why was this not front-page news in today's Times?!!”)Check out Jake Slocum's profile on the site, you'll get the idea.
I staid the night for shelter at a farm behind the mountains, with a mother and son - two "old-believers." They did all the talking...
