Page "lore" Paragraph 845

Lizzie, actually, never named any suspect.

She told police about the prospective tenant she had heard quarreling with her father some weeks before the murders, but she said she thought he was from out of town because she heard him mention something about talking to his partner.

And, much as she detested Hiram Harrington, she also did not accuse him.

At the inquest she was asked specifically whether she knew anybody her father had bad feelings toward, or who had bad feelings toward her father.

She replied, `` I know of one man that has not been friendly with him.

They have not been friendly for years ''.

Asked who this was, she named Harrington.

Her statement certainly was true ; ;

the press reported the same facts in using Harrington's interview, but Lizzie did not suggest at the inquest that Harrington was the killer.
