    Inaugural Addresses of the Presidents of the United States
    Salem Village Witchcraft. Mrs. Elizabeth Howe's Trial
    • They came for her on the Lord’s Day, Sunday, May 29, 1692. The brisk rap upon the door of the Ipswich farm took the family by surprise. The constable came with signed orders for her arrest. They took her from her husband and children, and charged her as a witch. Her accusers, Mary Walcott and Abigail Williams, fell down and cried out when Mrs. Howe appeared in court. They were pinched and pricked, they screamed, while in her presence. She was taken from the court room to be held in a dank prison awaiting trial. Here within is the story of the trial of Mrs. Elizabeth Howe, newly published with translations of the trial transcripts for modern readers.
