She was found guilty and executed on July 19, 1692. {Background: Elizabeth Jackson Howe was born circa 1635 in Yorkshire. She was born to William and Deborah Jackson. Elizabeth married James Howe in April 1658; the couple had six children, and resided in Topsfield, Massachusetts. Topsfield was a Puritan community. They were a deeply pious society, with an extreme religious focus notPage 1 of 112

only as a community but also on an individual basis. They believed firmly in the devil, and felt that he was not only an enemy to mankind, but to the Puritans specifically. The devil, as envisioned by the people of Salem, was a short, black man with cloven feet who stood about as high as a walking stick. The fight against the devil was viewed as an individual religious responsibility. Accused of witchcraft: The Perely family of Ipswich, Massachusetts, was among the chief accusers of Elizabeth Howe. They had a ten year old daughter they claimed was being afflicted by Howe. The child complained of being pricked by pins and sometimes fell into fits. In their testimony against Howe, on June 1, 1692, the Perelys quoted their daughter as saying, I could never afflict a dog as Good Howe afflicts me. At first the parents did not believe their daughters accusations. They took the child to several doctors who told them she was under an evil hand. Her condition continued for two or three years, until she pined away to skin and bones and ended her sorrowful life. Elizabeth Howe was accused of afflicting several other girls within Salem Village. The identities of the girls Elizabeth Howe was accused of afflicting are recorded in the transcript of her examination: Mercy Lewis was nineteen years old during the Salem trials. When her entire family was killed in an Indian attack she was sent to be a servant in the house of Thomas Putnam. Mercy Lewis acted as key player in the accusation of Elizabeth Howe, as well as many other individuals in Salem Village. Mercy Lewis was a major contributor of spectral evidence in the examination of Elizabeth Howe. She threw herself to the floor in a fit as soon as Howe entered the meeting house. Mary Walcott played a significant role in the Salem trials,Page 2 of 112

being one of the original girls to become afflicted. Her name not only appeared on the arrest warrant served to Elizabeth Howe but also appeared in one of two indictments. Interestingly, her cousin Ann Putnam was one of the most active accusers. Ann Putnam was one of the afflicted girls. She was one of the most aggressive accusers, her name appearing over 400 times in court documents. Ann was twelve years old at the start of the trials. She accused nineteen people and saw eleven of them hanged. This is a significant amount when one considers the fact that only nineteen people total hanged because of the accusations against them. In 1706 Putnam retracted her actions; she was the only afflicted girl to do so. {Ann Putnam: Abigail Williams was eleven or twelve in 1692. She was one of the most well-known afflicted girls in the Salem witch trials. Her name appeared on the arrest warrant for Elizabeth Howe. She was the niece of Reverend Samuel Parris, reverend of Salem Village and was one of the first two girls to become afflicted. {Mary Warren was twenty-one when the trials began. She was employed as a servant in the house of John Proctor of Salem Village. Warren participated only a little in the afflicted girls accusations. Warren was eventually tried for being a witch herself, but escaped conviction by accusing her employer and his wife of certain deeds, although she hesitated to call them a witch and a wizard. This safely placed Mary Warren back on the accusing side of the line. {Warrant for arrest: On May 28, 1692 a warrant was released for the arrest of Elizabeth Howe by John Hathorne and Jonathan Corwin. She was to be apprehended and taken to the home of Lieutenant Nathaniel Ingersolls. She stood charged with Sundry Acts of Witch-craft done or (committed)Page 3 of 112

on the (bodies) of Mary Walcott, Abigail Williams, and others of Salem Village. She was apprehended by Ephraim Wildes, constable of Topsfield, on May 29, 1692. A copy of her original warrant can be read below. This transcript was taken from The Salem Witchcraft Papers: {To the Constable of Topsfield Your are in theyre Majestyes Names hereby Required to Apprehend & bring before us Elizabeth Howe the wife of James Howe if Topsfeild Husbandman on Tuesday next being the thirty first day of may about Ten of the Clock forenoone att the house: of Leut Nathaniell Ingersollsof Salem Village, Whoe stande Charged wth Sundry Acts of Witch-craft done or Committed on the bodyes of Mary Walcott, Abigaill Williams & others of Salem Village, to theyr great hurt, in order to hir examination, Relating to the above sd premises. & hereof you are nott to fayle.

Dated May 31st 1692 {Imprisonment: Conditions while awaiting trial were harsh for those accused of witchcraft. The supposed witches were, bound with cords and irons for months, subjected to insulting, unending examinations and excommunication from the church. In Marion L. Starkeys The Devil in Massachusetts it says, . . . they were periodically subjected by prison officials, especially by the juries assigned to search them for witch marks. Yet while Elizabeth Howe was imprisoned in these difficult conditions she was able to rely on the support of her family. Her daughters, and occasionally her blind husband, would take turns in making regular trips to Boston. StarkeyPage 4 of 112

said they would bring her country butter, clean linen, and comfort. {Trial: Chaos in the Courtroom: Court conditions verged on the point of ridiculous during the Salem witch trials. There are many pauses in court records because of the chaos that surrounded trials of the supposed witches. For instance, afflicted girls would throw themselves on the ground in hysterical fits, and when the examinant moved their body the afflicted individuals would cry out in pain. Magistrate Samuel Sewall of Boston recorded his observation about the conditions he found in the meeting house. His diary reads, Went to Salem, where in the meeting house, the persons accused of witchcraft were examined . . . twas awful to see how the afflicted persons were agitated. Such was the case of Elizabeth Howes trial which began on May 31 of 1692. The following is a true account of the examination of Elizabeth Howe as witnessed by Samuel Parris. This account is taken from The Salem Witchcraft Papers, Transcripts of the Legal Documents from the Salem Witch Trials. {When Elizabeth Howe was brought in for examination Mercy Lewis and Mary Walcott, two of her main accusers, fell into a fit. She was accused by Mary of pinching and choking her in the month of May. Ann Putnam added her accusations to these by saying she had been hurt three times by Howe. When asked how she pled to the charges made against her, Elizabeth Howe boldly responded, If it was the last moment I was to live, God knows I am innocent of any thing of this nature. {Actual examination: The examination of Eliz: 31. May. 1692 Mercy Lewis & Mary Walcot fell in a fit quickly after the examinant came in Mary Walcot said that this woman the examinant had pincht her & choakt this month. Ann Putnam said she had hurt her three times. What say you to thisPage 5 of 112

charge? Here are them that charge you with witchcraft If it was the last moment I was to live, God knows I am innocent of any thing in this nature Did not you take notice that now when you lookt upon Mercy Lewis she was struck down? I cannot help it. You are charged here; what doe you say? I am innocent of any thing of this nature. Is this the first time that ever you were accused? Yes Sr. Do not you know that one at Ipswitch hath accused you? This is the first time that ever I heard of it You say that you never heard of these folks before Mercy Lewis at length spake & charged this woman with hurting & pinching her: And then Abigail Williams cryed she hath hurt me a great many times, a great while & she hath brought me the book. Ann Putnam had a pin stuck in her hand What do you say to this? I cannot help it. What consent have you given? Mary Warren cryed out she was prickt Abig: Williams cryed out that she was pincht, & great printes were seen in her arm. Have not you seen some apparition-- No, never in all my life Those that have confessed, they tell us they used images & pins, now tell us what you have used. You would not have me confess that which I know not She lookt upon Mary Warren, & said Warren violently fell down. Look upon this maid viz: Mary Walcot, her back being towards the examinant Mary Warren & Ann Putnam said they saw this woman upon her. Susan: Sheldon saith this was the woman that carryed her yesterday to the Pond Sus: Sheldon carried to the Examinant in a fit & was well upon grasping her arm. You said you never heard before of these people Not before the warrant was served upon me last Sabbath day John Indian cryed out O she bites, & fell into a grevious fit, & so carried to her in his fir & was well upon her grasping him. What do you say to these things, they cannot come to you? Sr. I am not able to give account of it Cannot you tell what keeps them offPage 6 of 112

Jurat {Evidence in the court and witnesses against Howe: There were many different types of evidence that were used to convict a supposed witch. These were confession, supernatural attributes, the witchs teat or witch's mark (any small skin growth or abnormality found on the body of the accused), anger followed by mischief, and probably most importantly spectral evidence defined by The Witches of Early America as the supernatural phenomena thought to occur when a vision or spectre of an accused witch appeared to aPage 8 of 112

witness. {Witch examination: Anger followed by mischief is one form of evidence that was brought against Elizabeth How. The Perely family, who had also accused her of afflicting their ten year old daughter (see Elizabeth How Accused of Witchcraft), blamed the sudden illness of the familys cow upon her. This was due, they claimed, to the fact that they had thwarted Elizabeth Howes chance of becoming a member of the Ipswich Church. Samuel Perley stated it this way in his testimony against Elizabeth: the above said goode how had a mind to joyn to iPswich Church thai being unsatisfied sent to us to bring in what we knew thai se cause to Put a stoP to her coming into the Church. Samuel then went on to explain a few days afterwards his cow suddenly went mad and ran into a pond drowning herself. {Spectral evidence played a key role in the Salem Witch Trials. The Witches of Early America defines spectral evidence as, the supernatural phenomena thought to occur when a vision or spectre of an accused witch appeared to a witness. The accusation of the Perelys is not a direct example of a when an accused witch appeared to a witness. However, they did bring forth spectral evidence with the story of their daughter. Apparently she told her parents that when she went near fire or water, this witch (pulled her) in. {Another accusation of anger before mischief was raised against Elizabeth How by her own brother-in-law. From his account we learn that she asked John Howe to go with her to Salem farmes. He told her that had she been accused of any other thing he would go with her, but because the accusation was witchcraft he would not for ten pounds, he continued, If you are a witch tell me how long you have ben a witch and what mischeve you have done and then I will go with you. HisPage 9 of 112

report explains that she semed to be aingry with me. John owned a sow with six small piglets. Around sunset he recounted the sow leaped up about (three or four feet high) and (turned about) and gave one (squeak) and fell (down dead). He went on to say that he cut off the ear of the sow and the hand he used to do this became numb and full of pain for several days after. All of this he blamed upon his sister-inlaw Elizabeth How. {Witnesses on behalf of Howe: Having witnessed a conversation between Samuel Perleys little girl and Elizabeth Howe. Reverend Phillips of Rowley, Massachusetts was able to testify in her defense on June 3, 1692. {This testimony is taken from the Salem Witchcraft Papers: {The testimony of Samuel Phillips aged about 67, minister of the word of God in Rowly, who sayth, that mr payson (minister of gods word alsoe in Rowley) and my self went, being desired, to Samuel pearly of ipswich to se their young daughter who was viseted with strang fitts & in her fitts (as her father & mother affirmed) did mention good wife How the wife of James Howe Junior of Ipswich, as if she was in the house & did afflict her: when we were in the house the child had one of her fitts but made noe mention of goodwife how; & when the fitt was over & she come to herself, goodwife How, went to the child and took her by the hand & askt her whether she had ever done her any hurt And she answered no never and if I did complain of you in my fitts I know not that I did soe: I further can affirm upon oath that young Samuel Pearly, Brother to the afflicted girle looking out of a chamber window (I and the afflicted child being without dores together) and say to his sister say goodwife Howe is a witch, say she is a witch & the child spake not a word that way, but I lookt up to thePage 10 of 112

window where the youth stood & rebuked him for his boldness to stirr up his sister to accuse the said goodw: How where as she had cleared her from doing any hurt to his sister in both our hearing, & I added noo wonder that the child in har fitts did mention Goodwife Howe, when her nearest relations were soe frequent in expressing theire suspicions in the childs hearing when she was out of her fitts, that the sayd Goodwif How, was an Instrument of mischief to the child. {A colleague of Phillips, Payson of Rowley, was also present at this encounter between Elizabeth and the Perleys daughter. He added his testimony as a second witness saying, their afflicted daughter, upon something that her mother spake to her with tartness, presently fell into one of her usuall strange fitts, during which, she made no mention(as I observed)of the above sd How her name, or any thing relating to her some time after, the sd how came in. {In her defense, Elizabeth Howes father-in-law testified to her good nature. He said that she, (set) a side humain infurmitys as (become) a Christion with Respact to (himself) as a father very dutifully & a wifife to (his) son very carfull loveing obedient and kind Considering his want of eye sight. He concluded his witness by saying, now desiering god may guide your honours to se a difference between predigous and Consentes I rest yours to Sarve. {Execution: Public execution was considered the most severe punishment of the time in Puritan Massachusetts. It is logical then that this severe punishment would come upon those convicted of a most severe crime: witchcraft. Convicted witches were hanged on Gallows Hill. Elizabeth Howe was hanged on July 19, 1692, along with Rebecca Nurse (her sister-in-law), Sarah Good, Sarah Wildes and Susanna Martin. {The execution methods in New England were very similarPage 11 of 112

to those used in England. The condemned would ride to the execution spot with a minister. He would then elaborate on the saving grace of Jesus Christ and repentance. The minster would also preach a sermon to the crowd that had gathered to watch the execution. Historian Louis P. Masur wrote, The ritual of execution day required that condemned prisoners demonstrate publicly that they were penitent, and the execution sermons repeatedly pounded the chord of penitence. In an ideal situation the convicted would confess to their crime, alleviating worry from the community that they were sending an unprepared soul to the next life. {Conclusion: Elizabeth Howe, Rebecca Nurse, Sarah Good, Sarah Wildes and Susanna Martin were hanged on July 19, 1692, and buried in a crevice on Gallows hill. Giles Cory {Nineteen people were hanged for witchcraft during the Salem witch trials, and one man, Giles Cory, was pressed to death because he refused to attest to the indictment against him. {In 1709, many were encouraged to join in a petition with Phillip English; they began with approximately twenty-one accused witches and children of the accused; although, later many others added their sentiments. Among these were the daughters of Elizabeth How. They requested that their good names be restored and also wanted financial compensation for their losses during the trials. It was not until 1711 that a sum of approximately 598 pounds was distributed among the survivors.} *** James Howe and Elizabeth Jackson had the following children: (1) JAMES2 HOWE (son of James Howe and ElizabethPage 12 of 112

Nationality, English; Ethnicity, English; Citizenship England; Known for Salem witch trials; Religion, Puritan; Spouse, James Howe, Children, 6; Parents, William and Deborah Jackson Elizabeth Howe was one of the accused in the Salem witch trials. She was found guilty and executed on July 19, 1692. Background: Elizabeth Jackson Howe was born circa 1635 in Yorkshire. She was born to William and Deborah Jackson. Elizabeth married James Howe in April 1658; the couple had six children, and resided in Topsfield, Massachusetts. Topsfield was a Puritan community. They were a deeply pious society,Page 29 of 112

with an extreme religious focus not only as a community but also on an individual basis. They believed firmly in the devil, and felt that he was not only an enemy to mankind, but to the Puritans specifically. The devil, as envisioned by the people of Salem, was a short, black man with cloven feet who stood about as high as a walking stick. The fight against the devil was viewed as an individual religious responsibility. Accused of witchcraft: The Perely family of Ipswich, Massachusetts, was among the chief accusers of Elizabeth Howe. They had a ten year old daughter they claimed was being afflicted by Howe. The child complained of being pricked by pins and sometimes fell into fits. In their testimony against Howe, on June 1, 1692, the Perelys quoted their daughter as saying, I could never afflict a dog as Good Howe afflicts me. At first the parents did not believe their daughters accusations. They took the child to several doctors who told them she was under an evil hand. Her condition continued for two or three years, until she pined away to skin and bones and ended her sorrowful life. Elizabeth Howe was accused of afflicting several other girls within Salem Village. The identities of the girls Elizabeth Howe was accused of afflicting are recorded in the transcript of her examination: Mercy Lewis was nineteen years old during the Salem trials. When her entire family was killed in an Indian attack she was sent to be a servant in the house of Thomas Putnam. Mercy Lewis acted as key player in the accusation of Elizabeth Howe, as well as many other individuals in Salem Village. Mercy Lewis was a major contributor of spectral evidence in the examination of Elizabeth Howe. She threw herself to the floor in a fit as soon as Howe entered the meeting house. Mary Walcott played a significant role in the Salem trials,Page 30 of 112

being one of the original girls to become afflicted. Her name not only appeared on the arrest warrant served to Elizabeth Howe but also appeared in one of two indictments. Interestingly, her cousin Ann Putnam was one of the most active accusers. Ann Putnam was one of the afflicted girls. She was one of the most aggressive accusers, her name appearing over 400 times in court documents. Ann was twelve years old at the start of the trials. She accused nineteen people and saw eleven of them hanged. This is a significant amount when one considers the fact that only nineteen people total hanged because of the accusations against them. In 1706 Putnam retracted her actions; she was the only afflicted girl to do so. Ann Putnam: Abigail Williams was eleven or twelve in 1692. She was one of the most well-known afflicted girls in the Salem witch trials. Her name appeared on the arrest warrant for Elizabeth Howe. She was the niece of Reverend Samuel Parris, reverend of Salem Village and was one of the first two girls to become afflicted. Mary Warren was twenty-one when the trials began. She was employed as a servant in the house of John Proctor of Salem Village. Warren participated only a little in the afflicted girls accusations. Warren was eventually tried for being a witch herself, but escaped conviction by accusing her employer and his wife of certain deeds, although she hesitated to call them a witch and a wizard. This safely placed Mary Warren back on the accusing side of the line. Warrant for arrest: On May 28, 1692 a warrant was released for the arrest of Elizabeth Howe by John Hathorne and Jonathan Corwin. She was to be apprehended and taken to the home of Lieutenant Nathaniel Ingersolls. She stood charged with Sundry Acts of Witch-craft done or (committed) on thePage 31 of 112

(bodies) of Mary Walcott, Abigail Williams, and others of Salem Village. She was apprehended by Ephraim Wildes, constable of Topsfield, on May 29, 1692. A copy of her original warrant can be read below. This transcript was taken from The Salem Witchcraft Papers. To the Constable of Topsfield Your are in theyre Majestyes Names hereby Required to Apprehend & bring before us Elizabeth Howe the wife of James Howe if Topsfeild Husbandman on Tuesday next being the thirty first day of may about Ten of the Clock forenoone att the house: of Leut Nathaniell Ingersollsof Salem Village, Whoe stande Charged wth Sundry Acts of Witch-craft done or Committed on the bodyes of Mary Walcott, Abigaill Williams & others of Salem Village, to theyr great hurt, in order to hir examination, Relating to the above sd premises. & hereof you are nott to fayle.

Dated May 31st 1692 Imprisonment: Conditions while awaiting trial were harsh for those accused of witchcraft. The supposed witches were, bound with cords and irons for months, subjected to insulting, unending examinations and excommunication from the church. In Marion L. Starkeys The Devil in Massachusetts it says, . . . they were periodically subjected by prison officials, especially by the juries assigned to search them for witch marks. Yet while Elizabeth Howe was imprisoned in these difficult conditions she was able to rely on the support of her family. Her daughters, and occasionally her blind husband, would take turns in making regular trips to Boston. StarkeyPage 32 of 112

said they would bring her country butter, clean linen, and comfort. Trial: Chaos in the Courtroom: Court conditions verged on the point of ridiculous during the Salem witch trials. There are many pauses in court records because of the chaos that surrounded trials of the supposed witches. For instance, afflicted girls would throw themselves on the ground in hysterical fits, and when the examinant moved their body the afflicted individuals would cry out in pain. Magistrate Samuel Sewall of Boston recorded his observation about the conditions he found in the meeting house. His diary reads, Went to Salem, where in the meeting house, the persons accused of witchcraft were examined . . . twas awful to see how the afflicted persons were agitated. Such was the case of Elizabeth Howes trial which began on May 31 of 1692. The following is a true account of the examination of Elizabeth Howe as witnessed by Samuel Parris. This account is taken from The Salem Witchcraft Papers, Transcripts of the Legal Documents from the Salem Witch Trials. When Elizabeth Howe was brought in for examination Mercy Lewis and Mary Walcott, two of her main accusers, fell into a fit. She was accused by Mary of pinching and choking her in the month of May. Ann Putnam added her accusations to these by saying she had been hurt three times by Howe. When asked how she pled to the charges made against her, Elizabeth Howe boldly responded, If it was the last moment I was to live, God knows I am innocent of any thing of this nature. Actual examination: The examination of Eliz: 31. May. 1692 Mercy Lewis & Mary Walcot fell in a fit quickly after the examinant came in Mary Walcot said that this woman the examinant had pincht her & choakt this month. Ann Putnam said she had hurt her three times. What say you to thisPage 33 of 112

charge? Here are them that charge you with witchcraft If it was the last moment I was to live, God knows I am innocent of any thing in this nature Did not you take notice that now when you lookt upon Mercy Lewis she was struck down? I cannot help it. You are charged here; what doe you say? I am innocent of any thing of this nature. Is this the first time that ever you were accused? Yes Sr. Do not you know that one at Ipswitch hath accused you? This is the first time that ever I heard of it You say that you never heard of these folks before Mercy Lewis at length spake & charged this woman with hurting & pinching her: And then Abigail Williams cryed she hath hurt me a great many times, a great while & she hath brought me the book. Ann Putnam had a pin stuck in her hand What do you say to this? I cannot help it. What consent have you given? Mary Warren cryed out she was prickt Abig: Williams cryed out that she was pincht, & great printes were seen in her arm. Have not you seen some apparition-- No, never in all my life Those that have confessed, they tell us they used images & pins, now tell us what you have used. You would not have me confess that which I know not She lookt upon Mary Warren, & said Warren violently fell down. Look upon this maid viz: Mary Walcot, her back being towards the examinant Mary Warren & Ann Putnam said they saw this woman upon her. Susan: Sheldon saith this was the woman that carryed her yesterday to the Pond Sus: Sheldon carried to the Examinant in a fit & was well upon grasping her arm. You said you never heard before of these people Not before the warrant was served upon me last Sabbath day John Indian cryed out O she bites, & fell into a grevious fit, & so carried to her in his fir & was well upon her grasping him. What do you say to these things, they cannot come to you? Sr. I am not able to give account of it Cannot you tell what keeps them off from your body? I cannot tell, IPage 34 of 112

Jurat Evidence in the court and witnesses against Howe: There were many different types of evidence that were used to convict a supposed witch. These were confession, supernatural attributes, the witchs teat or witch's mark (any small skin growth or abnormality found on the body of the accused), anger followed by mischief, and probably most importantly spectral evidence defined by The Witches of Early America as the supernatural phenomena thought to occur when a vision or spectre of an accused witch appeared to a witness.Page 36 of 112

Witch examination: Anger followed by mischief is one form of evidence that was brought against Elizabeth How. The Perely family, who had also accused her of afflicting their ten year old daughter (see Elizabeth How Accused of Witchcraft), blamed the sudden illness of the familys cow upon her. This was due, they claimed, to the fact that they had thwarted Elizabeth Howes chance of becoming a member of the Ipswich Church. Samuel Perley stated it this way in his testimony against Elizabeth: the above said goode how had a mind to joyn to iPswich Church thai being unsatisfied sent to us to bring in what we knew thai se cause to Put a stoP to her coming into the Church. Samuel then went on to explain a few days afterwards his cow suddenly went mad and ran into a pond drowning herself. Spectral evidence played a key role in the Salem Witch Trials. The Witches of Early America defines spectral evidence as, the supernatural phenomena thought to occur when a vision or spectre of an accused witch appeared to a witness. The accusation of the Perelys is not a direct example of a when an accused witch appeared to a witness. However, they did bring forth spectral evidence with the story of their daughter. Apparently she told her parents that when she went near fire or water, this witch (pulled her) in. Another accusation of anger before mischief was raised against Elizabeth How by her own brother-in-law. From his account we learn that she asked John Howe to go with her to Salem farmes. He told her that had she been accused of any other thing he would go with her, but because the accusation was witchcraft he would not for ten pounds, he continued, If you are a witch tell me how long you have ben a witch and what mischeve you have done and then I will go with you. His report explains that she semed to be aingry with me. JohnPage 37 of 112

owned a sow with six small piglets. Around sunset he recounted the sow leaped up about (three or four feet high) and (turned about) and gave one (squeak) and fell (down dead). He went on to say that he cut off the ear of the sow and the hand he used to do this became numb and full of pain for several days after. All of this he blamed upon his sister-inlaw Elizabeth How. Witnesses on behalf of Howe: Having witnessed a conversation between Samuel Perleys little girl and Elizabeth Howe. Reverend Phillips of Rowley, Massachusetts was able to testify in her defense on June 3, 1692. This testimony is taken from the Salem Witchcraft Papers: The testimony of Samuel Phillips aged about 67, minister of the word of God in Rowly, who sayth, that mr payson (minister of gods word alsoe in Rowley) and my self went, being desired, to Samuel pearly of ipswich to se their young daughter who was viseted with strang fitts & in her fitts (as her father & mother affirmed) did mention good wife How the wife of James Howe Junior of Ipswich, as if she was in the house & did afflict her: when we were in the house the child had one of her fitts but made noe mention of goodwife how; & when the fitt was over & she come to herself, goodwife How, went to the child and took her by the hand & askt her whether she had ever done her any hurt And she answered no never and if I did complain of you in my fitts I know not that I did soe: I further can affirm upon oath that young Samuel Pearly, Brother to the afflicted girle looking out of a chamber window (I and the afflicted child being without dores together) and say to his sister say goodwife Howe is a witch, say she is a witch & the child spake not a word that way, but I lookt up to the window where the youth stood & rebuked him for his boldness to stirr up his sister to accuse the said goodw: How where as she hadPage 38 of 112

cleared her from doing any hurt to his sister in both our hearing, & I added noo wonder that the child in har fitts did mention Goodwife Howe, when her nearest relations were soe frequent in expressing theire suspicions in the childs hearing when she was out of her fitts, that the sayd Goodwif How, was an Instrument of mischief to the child. A colleague of Phillips, Payson of Rowley, was also present at this encounter between Elizabeth and the Perleys daughter. He added his testimony as a second witness saying, their afflicted daughter, upon something that her mother spake to her with tartness, presently fell into one of her usuall strange fitts, during which, she made no mention(as I observed)of the above sd How her name, or any thing relating to her some time after, the sd how came in. In her defense, Elizabeth Howes father-in-law testified to her good nature. He said that she, (set) a side humain infurmitys as (become) a Christion with Respact to (himself) as a father very dutifully & a wifife to (his) son very carfull loveing obedient and kind Considering his want of eye sight. He concluded his witness by saying, now desiering god may guide your honours to se a difference between predigous and Consentes I rest yours to Sarve. Execution: Public execution was considered the most severe punishment of the time in Puritan Massachusetts. It is logical then that this severe punishment would come upon those convicted of a most severe crime: witchcraft. Convicted witches were hanged on Gallows Hill. Elizabeth Howe was hanged on July 19, 1692, along with Rebecca Nurse (her sister-in-law), Sarah Good, Sarah Wildes and Susanna Martin. The execution methods in New England were very similar to those used in England. The condemned would ride to the execution spot with a minister. He would then elaborate on thePage 39 of 112

saving grace of Jesus Christ and repentance. The minster would also preach a sermon to the crowd that had gathered to watch the execution. Historian Louis P. Masur wrote, The ritual of execution day required that condemned prisoners demonstrate publicly that they were penitent, and the execution sermons repeatedly pounded the chord of penitence. In an ideal situation the convicted would confess to their crime, alleviating worry from the community that they were sending an unprepared soul to the next life. Conclusion: Elizabeth Howe, Rebecca Nurse, Sarah Good, Sarah Wildes and Susanna Martin were hanged on July 19, 1692, and buried in a crevice on Gallows hill. Giles Cory Nineteen people were hanged for witchcraft during the Salem witch trials, and one man, Giles Cory, was pressed to death because he refused to attest to the indictment against him. In 1709, many were encouraged to join in a petition with Phillip English; they began with approximately twenty-one accused witches and children of the accused; although, later many others added their sentiments. Among these were the daughters of Elizabeth How. They requested that their good names be restored and also wanted financial compensation for their losses during the trials. It was not until 1711 that a sum of approximately 598 pounds was distributed among the survivors.
