It
is indeed unfortunate that Martha Corey and Rebecca Nurse are some of
the accused. I had nothing to do with the accusation, only my peers. I
had no choice but follow the lead of Ruth Putnam this time, and of
course her family. I knew it was wrong, but no one can save them now,
except God. They must confess or be hanged. That is the fate of all
accused and convicted witches. I do know this though, that Elizabeth
Proctor, out of spite, has sent her spirit out against me. It was fate
that handled my case against hers, and it is fate that I am the
champion. If Mary Warren hath known I were watching her sow that poppet
for Elizabeth, I would not have a stable case against her. In the Judges
eyes, Elizabeth used the poppet against me. The needle within it was a
reflection if a needle within me. I finally have my revenge on that
woman.
