- Then Proctor reads from a statement made by Giles Corey, who claims that Thomas Putnam urged his daughter, Ruth Putnam, to bring charges against George Jacobs so that Putnam could take possession of Jacobs' property.Giles is arrested for contempt of court and his accusations are thrown out because he won't say who gave him this information.
- Finally, Proctor provides Mary Warren's written admission that she and the other females were lying to Danforth.Danforth brings the girls in from the courtroom to question them.Mary has accused Abigail, which she refutes.
