Notes
[[127]]
As to Bridget Bishop see also pp. 249, 356, below. She
was of Salem Village, where she kept a sort of wayside tavern, but had long lived
in the town, and still held property there. She was the first witch to be tried (June
2) and executed (June 10) — perhaps because she had so long been under
suspicion. The records of her case are printed in Records
of Salem Witchcraft, I. 135-172.

Supposed, of course, by her accusers to be such “images”
as witches were alleged to make of their victims, for the sake of torturing them
by proxy. (See above, p. 163, note 1, p. 219, and below, p. 440, note 1.)
