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 them the day before the murders.
Bowen made acute observations on Lizzie and Bridget's behavior including what they wear wearing, their composure, and whether or not Lizzie was fainting or crying as the papers said she "was having fainting fits."
