In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," Cheever and Herrick, who are officials in the Salem witch trials, arrive at the Proctor house with a warrant to arrest Elizabeth Proctor. They are executing the orders of the court, which have been influenced by Abigail Williams' accusations. Cheever, as the clerk of the court, carries out the arrest, while Herrick, the jailer, assists in the process, reflecting the law's enforcement amidst the hysteria of the trials.
