Lizzie Borden Overload

There have been so many events in the past few months centering on Lizzie Borden that I have been hearing folks say that they are in Lizzie Borden overload. Lectures, trial reenactments, plays . . . . and they are not yet over.

On November 19, the last trial reenactment will be held in Taunton. My tickets arrived yesterday. I wanted to see each one as they are different from one another—-the lawyers change which changes everything! The questions are not the same and the focus of the prosecution and defense reflects the change in council each performance.

But after the trial redux, I think that will be the end of Lizzie for 2009. Oh, I almost forgot, the next issue of The Hatchet will be out soon. Announcements to follow in a day or two.

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.
