Thursday, April 21, 1692

The magistrates write up warrants for nine more suspected witches: William and Deliverance Hobbs (Abigailโ€™s parents), Mary Esty (sister of Rebecca Nurse and Sarah Cloyce), Sarah Wilds, Mary Black (a black slave in Nathaniel Putnamโ€™s household), Mary English (wife of wealthy merchant Philip English), Edward and Sarah Bishop (often confused with Bridget Bishop), and Nehemiah Abbot (for which no real evidence of witchcraft survives) before continuing to the town jail. Mary Warren has given the magistrates little to work with, but as she is a confessed witch and an important asset into their investigation of the Proctors, they visit her a second time and prompt her to tell her story in more detail. Like before, Warren tells the story in incremental bits, interrupted by fits.

They show Warren a bible, urging her to describe the book she supposedly signed for the Proctors. Warren explains that John Proctor had brought the book and asked her to read it. She had not signed her name, but only touched it with her finger to find her place in the book, which left a black mark on the page. Despite this, she maintains that it is Elizabeth Proctor who is the witch in the household, unwilling to put definite blame on her master, even after confessing that he had threatened to burn her with fire tongs to bring her out of a fit.ย 

Meanwhile, Ann Putnam and Abigail Williams have been stirring up controversy in the Village by making their visions of George Burroughs known to the public. After the Thursday lecture at the Ingersoll tavern, Williams is heard talking of the specter of โ€œa little black ministerโ€ who had lived in Casco Bay and had killed three wives and made nine witches. A man named Benjamin Hutchinson, listening to the conversation, asks Williams where she could see Burroughs, and stabs at the apparition with a fork, which, according to Williams, tears his coat, much as was the case with Bridget Bishop. Several other of the girls likewise fall into fits, inciting the men present to begin waving wildly at the air with their swords to kill the invisible attackers.

Thomas Putnam writes a letter to Hathorne and Corwin, warning them of a greater problem yet to come. As his daughter has suddenly named a minister as a suspected witch, they must tread carefully. In the letter, he thanks the magistrates for their service and attention, and attempts to prepare them for the coming news without naming George Burroughs outright.ย โ€œWe thought it our duty to inform your honors of what we conceive you have not heard,โ€ he writes,ย โ€œwhich are high and dreadful, of a wheel within a wheel, at which our ears do tingle.โ€
