Judge Hathorne desired the children, all of them, to look upon her and see if this were the person that had hurt them, and so they all did look upon her and said this was one of the persons that did torment them. Presently they were all tormented. H: Sarah Good, do you not see now what you have done? Why do you not tell us the truth? Why do you thus torment these poor children? G: I do not torment them. H: Who do you employ then? G: I employ nobody. I scorn it. H: How came they thus tormented? G: What do I know? You bring others here, and now you charge me with it. H: Why who was it? G: I do not know, but it was someone you brought into the meeting house with you. H: We brought you into the meeting house. G: But you brought in two more. H: Who was it then that tormented the children? G: It was Osburne. H: What is it you say when you go muttering away from persons’ houses? G: If I must tell, I will tell. H: Do tell us then. G: It is the commandments. I may say my commandments, I hope. The testimony went on for a while longer. Sarah Good continued to be a very uncooperative witness, but finally Judge Hathorne finished with her and called Sarah Osburne to the stand. HATHORNE: What evil spirit have you familiarity with? OSBURNE: None. H: Have you made no contract with the devil? O: No, I never saw the devil in my life. H: Why do you hurt these children? O: I do not hurt them. H: Who do you employ then to hurt them? O: I employ nobody. H: What familiarity have you with Sarah Good? O: None. I have not seen her these two years. H: Where did you see her then? O: One day a-going to town. H: What communications had you with her? O: I had none, only, how do you do or so. I did not know her name. H: What did you call her then? [_At this point Sarah Osburne had to admit that she had called her Sarah._] H: Sarah Good saith that it was you that hurt the children. O: I do not know if the devil goes about in my likeness to do any hurt. Mr. Hathorne desired all the children to stand up and look upon her and see if they did know her, which they all did, and every one of them said that this was one of the women that did afflict them and that they had constantly seen her in the very habit that she was now in. The evidence continued. In a feeble effort to gain sympathy, she said that she “was more like to be bewitched than that she was a witch.” Mr. Hathorne asked her what made her say this. She answered that she was frightened one time in her sleep and either saw or dreamed that she saw a thing “like an Indian all black which did prick her in the neck and pulled her by the back part of her head to the door of the house.” Mr. Hathorne asked her if she had seen anything else. She replied that she had not. At this point, however, some of the spectators said that Sarah Osburne also had heard the voice of a lying spirit.
