Lizzie Borden is an American Legend:the lady with the axe. She is a sane, civilized woman accused of a madman's crime. The case has always held its honest students spellbound, because the factual evidence of her sole opportunity and her guilt is so overwhelming, yet the bare idea of her guilt is so humanly incredible, so absurd.
