In his deposition during the Salem witch trials, Giles Corey alleges that his wife, Martha Corey, is being accused of witchcraft by several townspeople, including the Putnams, who he believes have ulterior motives. He also claims that the accusations against her are based on personal grievances rather than any legitimate evidence of witchcraft. Corey's testimony highlights the manipulative nature of the trials and the dangers of mass hysteria in the community. Ultimately, his deposition reflects his determination to defend his wife despite the overwhelming pressures of the court.
