Danforth Lines (Pages 92 To 105)

Front 1

Cheever: Ruth Putnam's not in the court, sir, nor the other children.

Back 1

These will be sufficient. Sit you down children...Your friend, Mary Warren has given us a deposition in which she swears she never saw familiar spirits, apparitions, nor any manifest of the Devil. She claims as well that none of you have seen these things either...Now, children, this is a court of law. The law, based upon the Bible, and the Bible, writ by Almight God, forbid the practice of witchcraft and describe death as the penalty thereof. But likewise, children, the law and Bible damn all bearers of false witness. Now then. It does not escape me that this deposition may be devised to blind us; it may well be that Mary Warren has been conquered by Satan who sends her here to distract our sacred purpose. If so, her neck will break for it. But if she speak true, I bid you now drop your guile and confess your pretense, for a quick confession will go easier with you...Abigal Williams, rise...Is there any truth in this?
