Day 5

Day 5
Proctor
This shall be my last journal entry it seems, unless I confess to those dogs of a crime I did not commit.  Ever since we went into that court everything went wrong.  Not only did the opposite of Giles getting the judge to see sense he himself got accused of being a wizard and is going to be tried later all because of me..... and then Abigail and her wenches scared the life out of Mary to where she begged for Abigail's forgiveness and turned on me saying that I made her do it and that I was the Devil's Man and made her say unrighteous  things from an unholy book and that i would take her down with me should we fail to rescue my wife.  
            Tomorrow I will hang unless I confess that I was a servant of the Devil and rebuke my sins, but I am innocent of these accusations just like all of the others that were accused and all of those who lost their lives because of these stupid stupid children.  "Crazy children that are jangling the keys of the kingdom" who know no the suffering they will cause, only the power they feel and the false sense of victory.  I heard that Abigail left the town and stole all of the money that Parris had saved.  The fool, at least i get a small sense of victory from that, but I know that the real culprit in these crimes has escaped, but I know that soon she will be punished for her endeavors and her wickedness and I will be there to watch.  
          Giles is dead so I've heard apparently they couldn't get the old coot to confess, the last thing he told them as they tried to make him talk by putting boulders on him to crush the truth from his bones was "more weight!", I guess the old man won his victory after all, though he is gone his sons and family still have the farm and need not worry about it being taken away.  
          It seems my time has come nigh, I hear footsteps approaching my cell and I know they must be coming for me, oh God whatever I decide please forgive me and take care of my family and those who have done no wrong.  May this be my last wish.
