This account fails to furnish any very conclusive evidence that either of the four other women was on that occasion consciously present with Tituba and the man; it need only indicate the probability that he drew properties from each of them, wherever located, whether in the Village, in Boston, or elsewhere, which enabled him to present their apparitions to Tituba as helpers, and to effect rapport with and get power over the children. When his immediate purpose had been accomplished, no one but the man could be seen by her. He perhaps left the female apparitions to dissolve when his further need of their properties ceased. There is no evidence that Good and Osburn were conscious of being present where Tituba saw them, and therefore the other two female forms may have been purely apparitional--mental fabrics of "the man." But important points are clear. The man's controlling will, and subjugated Tituba's conscious self, were there. "_Q._ Did he ask you no more but the first time to serve him? Or the second time? _A._ Yes, he ask me again if I serve him six years; and he come the next time and show me a book. _Q._ And when would he come then? _A._ The next Friday, and showed me a book in the daytime, betimes in the morning. _Q._ And what book did he bring, a great or little book? _A._ He did not show it me, nor would not, but had it in his pocket. _Q._ Did he not make you write your name? _A._ No, not yet, for my mistress called me into the other room. _Q._ What did he say you must do in that book? _A._ He said write and put my name to it. _Q._ Did you write? _A._ Yes, once, I made a mark in the book, and made it with red like blood. _Q._ Did he get it out of your body? _A._ He said he must get it out. The next time he come again, he gave me a pin tied in a stick to do it with; but he no let me blood with it as yet, but intended another time when he came again. _Q._ Did you see any other marks in his book? _A._ Yes, a great many; some marks red, some yellow; he opened his book, and a great many marks in it. _Q._ Did he tell you the names of them? _A._ Yes, of two; no more: Good and Osburn; and he say they made them marks in that book, and he showed them me. _Q._ How many marks do you think there was? _A._ Nine. _Q._ Did they write their names? _A._ They made marks. Goody Good said she made her mark, but Goody Osburn would not tell. She was cross to me. _Q._ When did Good tell you she set her hand to the book? _A._ The same day I came hither to prison. _Q._ Did you see the man that morning? _A._ Yes, a little in the morning, and he tell me the magistrates come up to examine me. _Q._ What did he say you must say? _A._ He tell me tell nothing; if I did, he would cut my head off."
