Tituba confesses because Abigail basically puts her in a corner and blames her for the entire evil practice performed in the woods. She confesses more in depth to her association with the Devil once she is threatened by her master, Reverend Parris, with being whipped to death, and by Putnam, who said that she should be hanged.
