In "The Crucible," Danforth is unwilling to postpone the executions because he believes it would cast a shadow of indecisiveness on his court. It's important that his court keeps the respect of the Puritans, because he knows that based on all the stories that have been told on good citizens and Puritans in Salem, any doubt associated with the court would mean the end of him.
