research in the lizzie borden story. we can find it in her own book. she is a great storyteller. it is a good read even though you have to be careful and note that she is a storyteller first and a fact give her second. second.t giver the delightful book about the lizzie borden story -- one of the things that i read, and i cannot confirm, but it was published in the biography of her was that she took this book on her honeymoon to read. interesting choice. her book was published in the 1960's. recently in my life, 40 wacks was published in 1992. about 100 years after the murders. to find a lot of evidence that cast even more doubt on the whole trial and the validity of some of the evidence that was put forward. agne had no ways to access what he was able to see later. i will share a little bit of this with you. there is one of the things i think is critical. this is a letter from the to theting attorney state attorney general who was really quite interested in how this trial was going to go. see that i have 1993, i just wa

initially, this was based on the lizzie borden story. the names were changed, they did give them character names, not just family title names. they set it as a whodunit kind of set. reminds me of what i have seen in reconstructions of agatha christie plays. originally it had a run of a month on broadway. it was not well received. i do love these photos from a federal theater project. that's a collection at the library of congress that shows this wonderfully overbuilt set. i do have these photos from a federal theater project, a collection from the library of congress, that kind of shows this wonderfully overbuilt set. and there's the lizzie character, on the left there, coming down the stairs. and you can't really see it. but it's a publicity photo that has her sort of hiding the weapon of choice under her arm. in this case, they did another dramatic change to the story as we know it. there's no ax in this play. and instead, she bludgeoned her mother with an iron. so that's what she has tucked under her arm. if you think about the old-fa

i will turn it over to director borden, to julie. >> dr. kirshbaum. >> good afternoon. i'm the transit director and thank you for talking about the upcoming schedule changes. these are a part of our ongoing approach to make incremental improvements to improve or reliability. we're in a resource constrained environment right now as a result of the operator shortage, so we're not doing big ads to the system, but we are constantly making shifts and refinements to make service better. the changes go into effect early 2020. we're targeting january. although it may be early february. and some of the things that we're doing is enhancing reliability, making new or improved customer connections and also we believe will help with less misservice. on the reliability side, the first thing we're doing is we'll pilot in the morning a change to the rail system where we're going to turn the j-line along ebarcadaro rather than turning it at ebarcadaro station. it's an experiment but we believe it will decrease congestion and really reduce the amount of delay that customers are spending

borden. >> i wanted to say i agree with all of my colleagues up here and i want to thank the police department for being here. you're a critical part of the solution on our streets. i often wonder if we can build the railroads, cross-walks. i feel like you need to put those gates down because i see such bad behaviour on streets and we have to let people know they can't get away with driving too fast. people are walking on street. there's people in neighborhoods, a restaurant owner/chef got hit at division on his motorcycle. the point is that it shouldn't be that way. people shouldn't live in fat fef walking across the street. it's a message to remind ourselves to slow down. there was a great article a couple of weeks ago in the chronicle, that it's not a problem just here but everywhere that people are in a hurry to get place. so we have to work against the national trend to be distracted and not slow down and pay attention and really do our part, whether we're acting as pedestrian, a driver, a cyclist, a motorcycle rider. we have to remember when those positions -- how to be safe and look aut
