>> how 'bout being "pressed" like the puritans used to do to "the
>> witches of Salem"
For the sake of historical accuracy, only one "witch" was pressed, and that was Giles Corey. He wouldn't confess to being a witch, even though it meant he would live, because he would then be a "criminal" and his estate would be forfeit to the court. He wanted his sons to keep his farm, so he withstood having a wooden door placed on his body and stone after stone added to it.
His only comment was "more weight".
