Days later her younger brother and two sisters exhibit similar behavior. Glover is arrested and tried for bewitching the Goodwin children. Reverend Cotton Mather meets twice with Glover following her arrest in an attempt to persuade her to repent her witchcraft. Glover is hanged. Mather takes Martha Goodwin into his house. Her bizarre behavior continues and worsens.
- Town schism with religion and money
- Abi was reverend parris daughter and niece children sources of labor, duty over affection, acted in a similar pattern to the godwin children who mary goodwin was hung for, similar pattern that children who worry about their souls and lack affection act in a similar manner,
- A witch named Mary Goody was killed in Boston for bewitching four children. She was irish mostly spoke Gallic, They tried to get her to recite the lords prayer, she could not say it right and they hanged her. Cotton Mather a man who will document the witch trials was involved. (witches uses charms and potions to improve fertility _
- Start to names of afflictions
- Accuse tituba as well, other women act out as well, the accusers are asked
- John corwin and john hawthorne come to see if a trial is warrented
- Adult witnesses started exhibiting the same symptoms as the kids, there testimony was allowed in court, seven girls and women, they say tituba is attacking them as well as others, tituba is pressured into a confession, says she made a pact with the devil after an intense interrogation to serve him, tall man dark hair black clothes, sometimes a black dog, the girls freak out
- Sarah good was a beggar and sarah Osborne rarely attended church married her servant, tituba may have told stories from the mallues malefacorum, she said there were 9 witches, outcasts
- Devils book has other peoples names in it. Allows the devil to walk in your shape. The more you protest the guiltier you look. Her specter was believed to attack mercy Lewis and ann putnam. 10 more people accused they were held for months, the charge was life destorying----- they are stripped and searched for the devils mark
- Stripp searched, looked for the devils mark, animals would feed off. Judge Corwin would charge people for food and drink and bedding, sheriff corwin is nephew to the magistrate corwin---- get kickbacks from jailing the accused. Would take their property
- Burroughs killed his first two wives, bewittched soilders, he survived the maine frontier, once owed the putnams a debt and they forgot it. Ann putnam accuses him of witchcraft. Brought from Maine to stand trial, lax on religion. Openly definant. Clergy are concerned. Burroughs was a rebel minster never ordained. Many people feel like hatred towards his relaxed attitude towards religion.
- No right to a lawyer, speedy trail, not much or no legal training amongst judges.
- 1st death sentence in the new court
- People who confess and give names get out those who refused are turned off the later.
- His specter was charged, mercy lewis testifies against them, see devil in shape on indian, throught indians may be bewitching them. Charged with being the leader…. Cotton mather says he was still guilty . After he is hanged hangings go wild
- Only found people guilty. Refused to talk. Never convicted him. Martha corey refuses to confess and died
- People started to say that they were pressured into confessing. They walk back their stories. Cotton Mathers father increase mather tells them to stop. It would be better that one accused witch live than have all these innocent people die. The governor stopped the trials reprieved the last watches. William Stoughton hated the governor. Spectral evidence outlawed. 1706 ann putnam jr apologized. She did it.
