IN 1692, A WAVE OF WITCHCRAFT ACCUSATIONS
ENGULFED SALEM AND NEIGHBORING
COMMUNITIES.  AS A LOCAL MAGISTRATE AND
CIVIC LEADER, CORWIN WAS CALLED UPON TO
INVESTIGATE THE CLAIMS OF DIABOLICAL
ACTIVITY.  HE AND JOHN HATHORNE PERFORMED
A NUMBER OF THE INITIAL EXAMINATIONS OF
ACCUSED WITCHES.  CORWIN ALSO SERVED ON
THE COURT OF OYER AND TERMINER, WHICH
ULTIMATELY SENT NINETEEN TO THE GALLOWS.  
ALL MAINTAINED THEIR INNOCENCE UNTIL THEIR
DEATHS.
