Lizzie Borden and the Forty Whacks Appearance

North Andover, Massachusetts

Lizzie Borden event
The Delvena Theatre Company will perform “Lizzie Borden and the 40 Whacks” in the Stevens Memorial Library’s Rotunda on Sunday, March 30, 2:30 p.m. The interactive event will depict the story of the infamous Fall River native who was acquitted of the axe murders of her parents in August of 1892. The audience will participate in a mock trial with the ability to question Borden, deciding if she’s innocent or guilty and agree on the sentence. The aim is to see if people of 2008 view the case differently than in the late 1800’s.
Cost of the event is free. For more information call the library at 978-688-9505.

I hope they film it and post it on YouTube so we all can see!

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now. Laugh, gasp, chuckle, or rage, these photos were all on eBay. For a price. I used to write the sellers and let them know they didn’t have a Lizzie, but soon gave up on that practice. They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
