Until, perhaps, now. New evidence has come to light that may finally help finger a culprit - after 120 years. The grandson of Borden lawyer Andrew Jackson Jennings has donated his grandfather's journals to the Fall River Historical Society, in Massachusetts, and curators are now combing through them for revealing details. They warn they may not find a "smoking gun" (er ... bloody hatchet), though. After all, there's a lot of information to hack through.
