Dora, >The presentation on Christian Trask's suicide and Hale's testimony in one of >the Trask web sites contains the following statement tacked on after John >Hale's signature, presented in such a way that it appears to be part of the >original document (sworn statement by JOhnHale on May 20, 1692), but I can't >be sure. It says: The phrase is also tacked on to the deposition given by John HALE 20 May 1692 in _The Salem Witchcraft Papers_, Vol. 1 pg 97; the pages dealing with Bridget BISHOP in Boyer and Nissenbaum's verbatim transcripts. This appears to have been at that same time and contains the same names that you noted. Below it is noted a source: (Essex County Archives, Salem - Witchcraft Vol. 1 pg. 39) Kathy Buffington Willett [email protected]
