Giles Corey arrives and announces that his wife and Rebecca Nurse have been taken to jail. After Abigail
claims Elizabeth Proctor’s spirit stuck a needle in her, the rag doll with a needle stuck in it is discovered, and Elizabeth is
arrested. Angrily, John tears up the warrant for his wife’s arrest. Mary says that if she tells the court she gave Elizabeth the doll with the needle stuck in it that Abigail will charge John Proctor with lechery.
