E stitiots and susceptible at the time
E that almost the entire settlement lent
E willing ears to the story of the "pos-
E sessed ones" mid. In March, 1602, the
K preliminary trial of the suspected
K witches was held.
■ । As was only natural, the aecusad
B did not receive fair treatment. No
H counsel was allowed to plead for them
9 ‘ and the Judge even bullied them in or-
B der to force a confession of their deal-
B Ings with Satan. The children assert-
■ . ed that they were in Intense pnln
B whenever they looked at the "witches"
m. and that they had also been choked.
E beaten and pinched by the three wom-
Ek en in order to make them more amen-
B able to the mandates of the evil one.
■ Who prompted this evidence or
m through what delusion it hnd became
it fixed in their mind, the Kriters on
M the witchcraft period nt Salem have
R jneverbeen aide to throw any light-
■ rave that tt was probably founded on ।
B nothing more than a childish fond-
B ness for holding the center of the
■ stage, coupled by the ideas which had
■ been literally forced upon them by
E their elders.
II N Bnt their account of the "with-
| erant" was believed and the excite-
L ment it caused spread like a forest
K fire. Hundreds of persons of both
■ sexes were accused of having had in-
■ terourse with Satan and were throw
I into prison. Nineteen were hanged;
| one, anyaged man, was pressed to
E ‘ denth, and two more died in prison
I , before the witchcraft inadness had run
p its course. ' ,
E Fimily, th* Colonists awoke to the
| horror of their delusion and bitterly
E 'repented their stringent measures to
| put down the "forces of darkness" ss
I ’they were alluded to, but it was a long
I time before the public mind entirely
I recovered from its witchcraft pAr-
