Historian Believes Witches
Were Burned And Not Hanqed

The Hysteria was merely
one Gangs idea for promot-
ing harmony by liquidating all
opposition. Like all such ex-
periIAents, before and since.
the Slaughter got out of
hand, becoming a commercial
as well as a political orgy.
Politics was King in Mas
sachusetts at the time. and
utter disregard was shown for
British citizenship rights Of
the Accused Witches. There
was no real Law in the Col
ony. This fact is overlooked
by most history writer's.
The stury, practise, and
profession Of Law in Massa-
chusetts was a Felony from
1889 to 170l. Consequently.
the Prisoners were without
legal counsel, and the Courts
were without legal training.
Chaos was to be expected.
Local historians insist
that the good people of
Salem were not so barbar-
GUS as to burn Witches.
The truth is, the good
people Of Salem had all
most nothing to say about
the Orgy which emanated
from Boston and other
places. Even small talk
was suicidal in those days.
1t is entirely possible,
available records to the
contrary, that the Witches
were Burned. The accused
were denied due process
of law because the Devil
was thought immune to
hanging. The ancient
cure" for people thought
possessed was Ordeal by
Fire.
History is human nature
on a tread-wheel. Frantic
running often gives the illu-
sion Of forward movement
when there is none. Times
change, but not mobs or po-
liticians.
A difference between 1892
and 1855 is that guilt can
not be presumed today; it
must be proved. This sounds
like progress until we con-
slider that the right to sus-
pect the worst, regardless of
evidence, remains one of our
most cherished human free
doms.
! I agree with you that
Witchcraft has given Salem
an unjustified Black Eye, and
that the legend on various
plaques around town gives
visitors a wrong impression.
Removing the plaques won't
remove the stigma, any more
than burning books will ero-
dictate peoples thinking.
I suggest that it would be
better to acquaint the world
with the true facts in the
case. In other words. WHY
not take positive steps to IL
berate the Salem witches
from Legal Limbo?
l am no authority on his
tory of the Witchcraft Period.
but I have discussed it many
times with the late Alfred
P. Goodell, and the current
Ghost-Sitter at Old Witch
Jail, John B. Hatch, among
others.

away. In later life, he help
ed found Yale University in
Connecticut to continue the
war against Harvard and Ii
beralism. A Liberal was any,
one who didn't believe in Ma
theirs Witches
A lesser william was Royal
Governor Phips, a political
fortune-hunter from Maine
who had struck it rich by
discovering sunken Pirate
Treasure in the British West
Indies. That accident quail
fed him for the highest pub
lie Office.
Governor Phips is one
of histOry's question
marks. IlIiterate at %,
governor at 40, and dead
at A, his life was full of
bungling. He could have
prevented the Hysteria,
but played along until his
own wife was accused of
Witchcraft. The VO0doO
Islands dealt him both
Fame and Infamy.
ScapegOat of the drama
was Samuel Paris, a Bri-
fish preacher, brought to
Salem from the West In
dies, along with Giddy
Daughters and Slave Girl
Tituba who had been a
VoOdOO practitioner all
her life.
When the Paris Girls began
behaving like Jazzed-Up Mo-
derns at a Hep-Cat Conven-
ton, claiming they had been
sent" by Tituba, the Witch
craft Orgy caught fire. Why
their little bottoms weren't
padded, history doesn't say
but we can guess.
The holocaust had all the
ear-marks Of incendiary orr
gin, both in the choice Of
victims, and the manner Of
their disposition. Only the
most obscure were marked fol
got rolling, and the mot
slaughter until the campaign
was conditioned for bigger
game.
Some historians call it ode,
lusion". My definition is rack
et". There was considerable
graft and corruption involved
The son of John (Speak Fo
YourSelf) Alden and Priscilla
Mullins was accused, but tn
Jailer forgot his fears of tn
supernatural for $25, and per
mitted him to escape.
Scapegoat Paris was un,
popular with his parishioner.
almost from the beginning
He could thank the Hysteria
his family spanked for keep
ing his job so long. Signifi-
cantly, once the Fury subsid-
ed, Paris was hooted out OF
town by the Liberated People
If Salem.
Guilt was a foregone
conclusion before the
Witches were brought to
trial. Rule of the Thumb
jurisprudence prevailed,
such as had obtained in
Roman arenas under the
infamous Caesars, and
such as has always OBJ
tanned in judicial traves-
ties from the Trial of
Christ.
Justice was beside the
point. Alacrity of con-
fessiOn and the whim of
magistrates determined
the degree of torture to
be applied. There was no
Fifth Amendment in those
days, but there were Fifth
Amendment Witches. They
Jared the worst. They
went through the Wiring
err.
Poor old Giles Corey was
ublicly pressed to Kingdom
.ome in Salem's Town House
quare for refusing to bear
alse Witness against him
elf and his neighbors. The |
-eatment was extreme, but
robably typical. Ordeal Psy-
biology was common in pri-
litive courts.
Historians give the impress
lon that the Witchcraft Hy-
Jeria struck out Of a clear
lue sky. Such was not the
ase. Massachusetts, had been
avaged by intense political
'arfare for many years.

ISRAELS A WELFARE STATE

American conservatives use the

Burmu Minister,
Friend of Israel,
Gets Big Acclaim

TEL AVN, (JTA) - Burma's
Prime Minister u Nu wound up a
nine-day tour of Israel and left
for Yugoslavia, next stop on his
globe girdling goodwill mission.
Behind him he left the air of a
national holiday which his visit
had created here. He was known
as ISrael'S best friend in Asia be-
fore his vista Characterization
based on his fight to have Israel
invited to the Bandung conference
and his efforts to soften the anti
Israel resolution adopted there.
But the knowledge of his friend
ship, based on news reports from
that faraway Indonesian town, was
as nothing compared to the Spon-
taneous outpouring of Israeli senti-
ment as he made his rounds here.
In a nation which has grown pro-
gressively more restless under the
goad of increasing political isola-
ton, the visit of the friend from
Burma was a shot in the arm.
One fruit of his visit was the
announcement that the Burma
government and Solel Boneh, the
Israel construction cooperative,
will establish two industries in
Burma on a partnership basis.
Premier Nu said that his govern
ment would invest $4,000, 900 to-
gether with Solel Boneh to set up a
glass and tire industry.

FUNDS SOUGHT
FOR ASSISTING
DAY CAMPERS

Contributions to day camp Schol-
arships at the Jewish Community
Center are being asked of Jewish
organizations and individuals.
Reuben Bennett, Center activi-
ties director, said all applicants
have been accepted as campers
regardless of the families ability
to pay the camp fee. The children,
selected on the basis of need for
for camp experience, are given full
free scholarships, or fees are mod
flied to fit the financial situation
of the campers family. Selection
is made by the Center and the
Jewish Social Service.
Bennett said contributions vii l
enable the Center to carry out the
program of providing children with
the advantage of a summer of
comfort, recreation, and health
benefits combined with character
and educational training. They
take part in arts and crafts, mu-
sic, athletics and games, discus
sions, dramatics and the like. Ben
nett said these activities help chill
dren become well-adjusted and
