I just read that book :)
Proctor in Act III Scene I presents a petition to Judge Danforth. This petition was signed by several members of Salem stating that they knew Sarah Good, Goody Proctor, and the others to be good Puritan women.
Consequently, these petitioners were all arrested for questioning because Parris accused them of trying to undermine the court.
Mary Warren says the girls are lying when Proctor brings her to speak with Judge Danforth.
They ended up arresting Proctor shortly after he read the list.
They hang him because he refused to give judge Danforth the testimony that he had signed stating his confession.
Danforth is Deputy Governor of the Province; in the book, he serves the purpose of chief judge (Hathorne, the other judge, has no influence over him).

Judge Danforth
Because She Didnt Want Him to Get In Any Trouble And Have His Name Shame Put Out For Everyone to see...We Are Reading It Now and its HELLA GOOD Hope This Helps..:)
Parris gives Danforth the news that Abigail and Mercy Lewis have run off with Paris's money. Danforth is the deputy governor of Massachusetts and the presiding judge at the witch trials.
because then that would mean he would have to confess to meeting with Abigail in private which would evidently confirm the fact that he had had an affair with her.
hathorne is the judge that sits next to danforth in the courtroom scene
that she is the one who made that poppet, that she was the one who stuck the needle in the stomach and tell judge danforth that she was just pretending and that she was never under any spell of witchcraft and that nobody actually sent out their soul to harm her or the other girls and that they are all just pretending.
