some ways that some of the witches were killed was that they were hung and one specific character was pressed to death meaning that you are literally pressed by putting a large amount of bricks on to your body until you confessed of being a witch or until you died because of the pain

How did the accused avoid hanging-The Crucible?

They usually didn't have any witch signs like warts, deformations, and ugliness in general. They also would ask them to recite the lord's prayer because it was said that witches sold themselves to the devil and if they could recite it they were not a witch. Even so most of them were killed anyway.
