one in the community, especially IL Inc was

lett for parts unknown. The trials went on.
One person was hung In June, five In July,
five in August. and eight in September.
Alter the executions OF September -, the
Special Court adjourned, intending TO- re-
new the trials. The prisons were full OF
persons accused. Before the Court assem-
bled, sudden collapse in tho machinery
occurred. The Court never met. Ihe
people had recovered from their delusion,
and were filled with horror aud amazement
at the proceedings. The "sffiictcd chill
dren," inspired by success, had become
over. r.confdent and reckless in their acctisa' :
tons. They accused, among othen, the
wife of Rev. Mr.. Hale, of Beverly, lady
Of spotcss reputation, and the charm was
broken. The murder also of Giles Covey.
by the heathenish torment Of pressing three
days before the executions in September,
was such All outrage upon humanity that
the people resolved that these proceedings
should stop. This stern old man IN his
eighty. ycnr, who would not plead.

the courts to Try him on such charge, wns
laid upon his back, in his prison cell, and
weights applied to his body ill life was cx-
tinct. II was an English custom, but none
the less shocking for that. Tho magistrates,
Judges and ministers were the last to come
to their senses. The Supreme Court met
ut Salem in January, 1893, at which the
grand jury found fifty new indictments, tried
twenty cases, and convictions in three. But
there were no moro executions. The spell
was broken. In May there was general
jnil.delivcry Of the accused and condemn
