The deposition of Mary Warren aged 20 years, she testifieth. I
have seen the apparition of John Proctor Senior among the witches
and he hath often tortured me by pinching me and biting me and
choking me, and pressing me on my Stomach till the blood came out
of my mouth and also I saw him torture Miss Pope and Mercy Lewis
and John Indian upon the day of his examination and he hath also
tempted me to write in his book. and to eat bread which he
brought to me, which I refusing to do, John Proctor did most
grievously torture me with variety of tortures, almost ready to
kill me.
Mary Warren owned the above written upon her oath before and unto
