Lizzie Borden’s Handwriting Analyzed
Today’s Fall River Herald News features an interesting piece about graphologist Janice Warren and her interpretation of Lizzie Borden’s character from analyzing her writing. In summarizing Borden, Warren said she was highly emotional, which could be masked by her staunch pride and perfectionism. Her lofty goals to live among the city’s high society on the […]

Lizzie Borden Letter Details
I just heard from John Quatrale, curator at the Brighton-Allston Heritage Museum, where the Lizzie Borden letter is located. He researched the history of how the Historical Society came to possess the letter. It is a fascinating story! The letter has been on exhibit at the Brighton-Allston Heritage Museum since 2007, when the museum opened. […]

Lizzie Borden Story
It is fanciful, to be sure, with factual inaccuracies, but I really enjoyed the narration and the visuals, which are superior. I love the stamp idea. So all in all, an excellent video. And it just gets better and better as you watch it. Highly recommended. It is titled “Tragedy in Fall River,” by Stephen […]
The People Vs. Lizzie Borden
Last year, the Warner Robins Little Theatre in Warner Rogers, GA, produced a new play about Lizzie Borden, titled “Murder Americana: The People vs. Lizzie Borden.” From the images of the production, one can see an amazing set and wonderful costumes and lighting. The show “looks” wonderful. I hope it was well received and enjoyed […]
Lizzie Borden FAIL
It happens a lot—people writing about the Borden murders of 1892 (note the date) and getting it wrong. Not just partly wrong, but terribly wrong. Another case popped up today at Associated content. I cannot begin to dissect the errors here, for not only are there factual mistakes, but the narrative is supremely disjointed. It […]

Besides Bernsen, the film also sports Gary Busey as the Old Man. Synopsis: […]

Lizzie Borden Lizbits: Who was Billy Borden
Ken Souza, the former editor of the Lizzie Borden Quarterly, explains Arnold Brown’s theory that the illegitimate son of Andrew Borden did the killings. As told in Brown’s Lizzie Borden the Truth, the Legend, the Final Chapter. And then, there is this choice tidbit from Jules Ryckebusch about DNA. Hmmm. Never heard that one before!
