Really whackey person, Lizzie Borden of Fall River, Mass (1860-1927) was arrested on 8/4/1892 (acquitted= 6/20/1893).

         Andrew Borden he is dead;
          Lizzie hit him on the head.
          Lizzie killed her mother, too--
          What a horrid thing for Liz to do!

          'Cause you can't chop your poppa up in Massachusetts
          Not even if it's planned as a surprise
          No you can't chop your poppa up in Massachusetts
          You know how neighbors love to criticize.

Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty wacks.
Whe he saw what she had done she gave her father forty one.

She was never convicted.
