How were witches tested and their guilt decided in the Salem Witch Trials?
To ways that people (mostly women) were tested was: 1. A lake would be blest, the the person who was accused would have there hands and ankles tied together then lowered into the lake, if the person floated and lived he/she would be a witch then killed, but if he/she drowned she would be dead then proved that he/she wasn't a witch. 2. The person accused would have to carry a peace of hot coal around the town two times, when finished if the persons hands were burnt then they would be let go, but if they where fine they would kill you. EDIT: During the Salem Trials, the accused were not given the benefit of a fair test. The Touch Test, the afflicted's testimony and the Witch's Teat were the only evidence or tests employed. The Touch Test, in which the accused would touch the bewitched while in a fit and if the fit ended the agent to cause it had returned to the accused witch by touch, could be rigged because the afflicted could choose to recover if they were faking, which is the most supported theory. The afflicted could have easily lied. And the Witch's Teat, a blemish that would not bleed or cause pain is pricked, was ALWAYS fake. The examiners used dull pins.

Why did Matthew Hopkins kill over 300 women?
He was a 'witch hunter'. He designed tests to find out if women were witches or not, but most, if not all of his tests led to death either way. This meant that whoever was accused of being a witch, no matter how stupid the reason, the were killed in whatever test the 'witch hunter' chose to use.
How did people 'prove' that you were a witch back in the time?
Basically, by killing them. One test they used to determine wether someone was a witch or not was to tie up the accused person to a chair, and throw them into a body of water. If the person was a witch, they would free themselves and escape death. If not (which was invariably the case), they would drown. Most tests were like this; if they're a witch, they'll survive this for sure death sentence; if not, they're not a witch and they'll die. EDIT: There was no way to prove an accused witch's innocence in Salem. Witch tests like those detailed above were considered barbaric and the evidence of witchcraft and nonexistance of such were used to decide by the judges to decide on a verdict.
