==Biography==
Born in 1631 in either England or the Massachusetts colony, Stoughton's life did not deviate until 1693, when he presided over the Salem Witch Trials. He interrogated Candice Hayes over accusations of witchcraft by her husband, Aiden.
===Interrogation===
Stoughton quickly extracted a confession from Candice of her being a witch, as well as the revelation of a certain demon named Clovis being the one who bewitched her. Due to Candice's brazenness, he sentenced her to be burnt at the stake; notably, this is the only instance of such an execution in the trials.
===Later life===
After the Trials finished, Stoughton eventually became the acting governor of the Massachusetts Bay province in 1694, though his health failed in 1701, and he died of natural causes that year.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Stoughton_(judge)
