Reading1 Read the text about a famous murder case. Then choose the correct answers.

A famous case

It was the morning of 4 August,1892 in a small

town in Massachusetts. Andrew Borden was

at work at the bank. His daughter Emma was

away on a trip. Andrew’s younger daughter,

Lizzie, was at home. So was his second wife,

Abby. At about nine a.m., Abby asked the

servant to wash the windows on the first floor.

At the same time, Abby went into the bedroom

to make the bed. It was the last time anyone

saw her alive.

Later that morning, Andrew arrived home.

He lay down on the sofa in the living room at

about eleven a.m. He probably fell asleep, so

he didn’t see the murderer coming towards him. Half an hour later the servant heard Lizzie

shouting, “Someone has killed my father!” He was lying on the sofa with a deep wound to his

head. The servant then went upstairs to look for Abby. She found her lying dead on the bedroom

floor.

Lizzie Borden was a suspect, but police couldn’t prove that she was the murderer. If she was,

why did she do it? No one will ever know. But people were, and still are, very interested in this

crime. It has brought lots of tourists to the town. You can even stay in the house where the

murders happened – it’s now a small hotel.

A strange telegram

Irene Wilkins was a 31-year-old school cook who lived with her mother in London. Just before

Christmas in 1921, she put an advertisement* in the local newspaper because she was looking

for a new job.

The advertisement appeared on the morning of December 20th and that same day she got a

telegram asking her to catch the 4.30 train to Bournemouth. The name at the bottom of the

telegram was ‘Wood, Beech House’.

Irene quickly sent a telegram confirming the meeting, then left for the train station. Not long

after she had left the house, however, the telegram she had sent to Wood at Beech House

came back to the post office. The reason? The address was unknown. By late evening, when her

daughter still hadn’t come home, Mrs Wilkins reported her missing.

A farmer discovered Irene’s body under some bushes. Someone had murdered her. Police

believed the person who had written the telegram had been the murderer, and studied it for

clues.

It had several spelling* mistakes, and they discovered similar telegrams had been sent to other

women, who luckily had decided not to go to Bournemouth to meet ‘Wood’.

After a witness reported seeing a car near the murder scene, the police had a suspect; a driver

named Thomas Henry Allaway. When they arrested him, they asked him to write out everything

in one of the telegrams. Allaway made all the same spelling mistakes. The case was closed – the

police had found the evidence they needed.
