Judge+Hawthorne


 * The Journal of Judge Hawthorne**

Today i am Judge Hawthorne and i am covering pages 83-105

Today i saw Martha Corey accused of witchcraft with solid evidence and her denying it. I Also saw Giles Corey who screamed that said "thomas putnam is reaching out of land." and said he had evidence of him accusing people for their land. Thomas putnum also showed up and tried to give evidance that the girls were lieing, and he got Mary Warren to say she lied in court and that there never were any spirits. I have heard that the girls may be frauds but i do not beleive it, and i think that they are just trying to destroy the court and they infact may work for the devil.

I said that these men are guilty of contempt and should be arested multiple times, i asked Giles corey for the name of a person who gave him information that thoms putnam was a murderer and he would not give it to me so i charged him with contempt.

People said that i wasnt the nicest judge and that they didnt like me not directly but i knew they were thinking it they also said to me inderectly that i am making horrible mistakes condeming these people to be arresed and jailed and maybe even hanged.

One thing i wish i said was that John provtor and Giles could not be trusted to tell the truth and that we should charge them of trying to destroy the court which is a symbol of god because it kills witches the devil controls.

I bet tommorrow that the girls will be found innocent of lieng and that john proctor and giles will eithier be tried of witchcraft or will be jailed.J.S.
