Both the magistrates and the people seemed to be very much instructed by the remarks of these two godly ministers.
That "pious and excellent young man," Jethro Sands, here came forward and testified as follows: He had been at one time on very intimate terms with the accused; but her conduct on one occasion was so very singular that he declined thereafter to keep company with her.

Hearing one day that she had gone to Master Joseph Putnam's, he had walked up the road to meet her on her return to the village.

He looked up after walking about a mile, and saw her coming towards him on a furious gallop.

There seemed to have been a quarrel of some kind between her and her familiar, for it would not stop all she could do to it.

As she came up to him she snatched a rod that he had cut in the woods, out of his hand, and that moment the familiar stopped and became as submissive as a pet dog.
