Dear all, Harry Widdows has graciously consented to allow me to post the complete trial of Lizzie Borden on my website for you to download in .pdf format! I created the .pdfs and Harry did the rest---an enormous undertaking!!!

Three cheers for Harry!

What is the origin of this? From a secondary source, or?

The "source" of the trial is the trial transcript itself. Harry Widdows typed the entire trial, and proofread the entire typing. It took him 8 months to produce. He created it in WordPad and I converted it to MS Word and then made the PDF file for downloading with his permission.

That's just great. I hope someone proof-read this.
Why not use a scanner for more reliability?

I remember reading this was available for down-loading back on the original site.

The actual pages of the trial are in a poor condition, lots of scratches and such from the microfilm copy. Scanning of such a document would prove impossible and would in fact create more problems than it would be worth---too much correcting.

Harry proof read his work and this issue of the trial is that later edition, proofread with corrections. Harry had offered it to anyone on the LBMB in August with the corrected edition offered after the proofreading was complete.

Voila! the history of the trial of typing the trial!
