While doing a search on the internet, I came across these playing cards from 1897. I noticed that some of the cards looked like the principal players in the Borden case, or maybe I just have Lizzie on the brain. What do you think?

Andrew

Abby

Emma

Lizzie

John Morse

This one may be a reach...Bridget

Those are good, Susan.

How about the King of Clubs for Hilliard. The card is decribed the "Chief of Police". Of course Hilliard had a bigger moustache.

Glad you liked them, I thought they were pretty cool too.

Yes, you're right, Harry, he could totally be Hilliard.

The reason I was looking was I came across this picture I had saved awhile ago, the site doesn't seem to exist anymore? The picture is of Lizzie dressed as the Queen of Hearts coming through the dining room door into the sitting room with a big double edged axe in hand. Lets see if I can attach it.

That is so amazing Susan! Thanks! Harry, you made a good choice with Hilliard too.
