12. Testimony of Elizabeth Hubbard v. Tituba

The deposition of Elizabeth Hubbard, aged about seventeen years, who testifies that on the 25th February 1692, I saw the apparition of Tituba Indian, which did immediately most grievously torment me by pricking, pinching, and almost choaking me, and so continued, hurting me most grievously by times hurting until the day of her examination, being the first of March, and then also at the beginning of her examination, but as soon as she began to confess, she left off hurting me, and has hurt me but little since.
