Giles reveals that Goody Corey and Rebecca Nurse have been arrested.
Giles Corey was arrested during the Salem witch trials in 1692 for witchcraft. He was accused of being a witch due to his contentious relationships with neighbors and his outspoken nature. Despite being pressed to enter a plea, Corey famously refused, leading to his execution by pressing, a method of torture where heavy stones were placed on him. His case became emblematic of the hysteria and injustice of the witch trials.
Giles Corey has figured out the real reason for the witch hunt, which is to steal land. He delivers a signed petition from many people saying some of the accused witches are not witches, and that greed is a motivation for them to be arrested and /or executed. Fearing the truth will come out, he is expelled from court.
