You mean the story about the woman with the chestnuts, right? The witches were able to make her husband's life miserable, but were unable to kill him. The incident shows that they can be vindictive and punish someone far beyond the seriousness of the offence.

Who is second to blame for Macbeth dowmfall?
There's no right answer. You have to decide for yourself who was responsible, which is what is so great about literature. There's either Lady Macbeth, the witches, or Macbeth himself. I believe Lady Macbeth was first to blame for her manipulation on Macbeth, then Macbeth because he chose to do the things he did under Lady Macbeth's word. The witches meerly told him what was going to happen in Macbeth's life.
