    The Personal Diary of Rev.

    Hale

    Entry 1
    Elizabeth Proctor had been taken tonight for the charge of
    witchcraft and attempted murder of Abigail Williams. So have Rebecca
    Nurse and Martha Corey. These arrests have shaken me. I tried to defend
    the court as these times are new. We cannot flinch to those who accuse,
    as the devil is alive in Salem. We all know that Rebecca is the brick of
    this church and Martha is the woman closest to God within this entire
    unstable town. These women are innocent, and the courts will find them
    innocent, but after what John had said, I don’t know if they will. Nobody
    is truly clean in this world and the accusers are not always right. These
    are a very stressful time, and I pray the courts find none of those women
    guilty, if they are then this town has already fallen to the devil and soon
    the world.

    Entry 2
    I met with the women in jail the night I quit the court, to see for
    myself if they were truly with the devil. Through my examination of
    them, they were all in the light of God. Most of these women are kind
    ones, they know not of the devil and haven’t signed his book. The court
    has taken to believing the hateful pleas of wild children and a whore.
    These accusations had even a man such as John Proctor say God is dead
    in a fit of rage. These children are ruining Salem by passing blame out
    like its water. Abigail Williams certainly won’t get what she wants. I
    believe she is to blame here for the continuation, her entourage might be
    doing it for their own gain or to protect themselves. Could this have
    been Abigail’s plan from the start, or is she just taking of this situation
    that’s been handed to her on a silver platter.
    Dear your excellency,
    I beg of you to release those accused and who have denied any
    relation with the devil. They have done nothing wrong, and yet you
    spare the lives of those who confessed and wish for mercy. All of them
    wish for mercy, believing those wicked children has given the town a
    taste for blood. Why do you look for confessions? Those who haven’t
    confessed have done nothing wrong. Your excellency, I beg please do
    not kill those who haven’t confessed. If you won’t pardon them or given
    them an extension, then I will come of my own volition to try and save
    them with their confession if that’s what you desire from these people. I
    am not coming to rejoin your court, but in the name of the people to save
    those accused.

    -Rev. Hale
