“(Abigail Williams, that lives with her uncle Mr. Parris,
     said that she did see the same creature, and it turned into
     the shape of Goodie Osburn.)

     “What else have you seen with Osburn?—­Another thing, hairy: 
     it goes upright like a man, it hath only two legs.

     “Did you not see Sarah Good upon Elizabeth Hubbard, last
     Saturday?—­I did see her set a wolf upon her to afflict her.

     “(The persons with this maid did say that she did complain
     of a wolf.  She further said that she saw a cat with Good at
     another time.)

     “What clothes doth the man go in?—­He goes in black clothes;
     a tall man, with white hair, I think.

     “How doth the woman go?—­In a white hood, and a black hood
     with a top-knot.

     “Do you see who it is that torments these children
     now?—­Yes:  it is Goody Good; she hurts them in her own
     shape.

     “Who is it that hurts them now?—­I am blind now:  I cannot
     see.

Another report of Tituba’s examination has been preserved, and may be found in the second volume of the collection edited by Samuel G. Drake, entitled the “Witchcraft Delusion in New England.”  It is in the handwriting of Jonathan Corwin, very full and minute, and shows that the Indian woman was familiar with all the ridiculous and monstrous fancies then prevalent.  The details of her statement cover nearly the whole ground of them.  While indicating, in most respects, a mind at the lowest level of general intelligence, they give evidence of cunning and wariness in the highest degree.  This document is also valuable, as it affords information about particulars, incidentally mentioned and thus rescued from oblivion, which serve to bring back the life of the past.  Tituba describes the dresses of some of the witches:  “A black silk hood, with a white silk hood under it, with top-knots.”  One of them wore “a serge coat, with a white cap.”  The Devil appeared “in black clothes sometimes, sometimes serge coat of other color.”  She speaks of the “lean-to chamber” in the parsonage, and describes an aerial night ride “up” to Thomas Putnam’s.  “How did you go?  What did you ride upon?” asked the wondering magistrate.  “I ride upon a stick, or pole, and Good and Osburn behind me:  we ride taking hold of one another; don’t know how we go, for I saw no trees nor path, but was presently there when we were up.”  In both reports, Tituba describes, quite graphically, the likenesses in which the Devil appeared to his confederates; but Corwin gives the details more fully than Cheever.  What the latter reports of the appearances in which the Devil accompanied Osburn, the former amplifies.  “The thing with two legs and wings, and a face like a woman,” “turns” into a full woman.  The “hairy thing” becomes “a thing all over hairy, all the face hairy, and a long nose, and I don’t know how to tell how the face looks; is about two or three feet high, and goeth upright like a man; and, last night, it stood before the fire in Mr. Parris’s hall.”
