This time, her wrath wasn't limited to just her husband, though.
On many occasions, she would fly into a rage over anything or nothing and become verbally abusive, and several times she assaulted Paul's son, James, choking and hitting him.
But it was Paul's son with cognitive disabilities, Johnny, who was most often the target of her violence and cruelty.
When she got deemed the worst woman in the world, it...
On the morning of May 4th, 1891, Paul departed the farm with a team of horses and a load of coal.
At that time, Lizzie was apparently sick and she was in bed.
And the only other person in the house was Johnny.
Not long after Paul left, Lizzie claimed that Johnny came running into the bedroom shouting that the house was on fire and he helped her to her feet and safely out of the house.
Once Lizzie was safe, she claimed Johnny ran back in the house in order to save some belongings, but after two or three trips in and out, he didn't return.
And after hearing Lizzie's story, the coroner ruled the death accidental suffocation.
