That’s Lizzie Borden? Really? Isn’t the folklore that she flirted with the (all male) jury during the trial and they acquitted her? OUCH!! Thems must have been hard times.

I think it’s after the trial when she was more middle-aged, but yes, it’s Lizzie.

Not positive about the ‘flirting’ but sounds familiar. I do recall reading that the defense lawyers did advise her to act more ‘feminine’ and ‘modest’. So there’s suggestions that she ‘fainted’ on purpose during the trial.
