How the witch hysteria of Salem finished

On October 12, 1692, the General Court Massachusetts held a meeting to consider what to do with the situation. They decided to prohibit others from prison witchcraft.

On October 26, 1692, the church leaders of Massachusetts held a day of fasting throughout the state, hoping that God gives the answer to the problem witch.

Despite accusations yet arrived, the defendants were now on bail, instead of throw in prisons already overcrowded. People began to see the mistakes that were made, and now the leaders tried to find a way to stop it. They are between the hammer and the anvil. They could not very well forgive all witches and admit 20 (including Giles Corey) innocent people to death, but could not in good conscience allow further testing. The questions continued for four months, while 150 of the defendants behind bars. Finally, in May, all persons accused of witchcraft were released and could be released from prison, where and when prison costs have been paid.

After many requests, in October 1710, the General Court reversed the convictions of all cons family who had to ask. Bridget Bishop, Susan Martin, Alice Parker, Ann Prudeator, Wilmott Redd and Margaret Scott are not allowed because they have no family name to the petition.

On December 17, 1711, families of executed witches were offered the sum of 578 pounds and 12 shillings to be distributed among 24 relatives of people accused of witchcraft.

The family of John Procter, the richest of those hanged, he was given 150 pounds.
The family of George Jacobs him £ 79.
The family of George Burroughs, the minister said that the 50 perfect "Our Father", was given books.
The family of Elizabeth Howe, who was very rich, he gave 12 pounds.
Sarah Good's husband, William, was given 30 pounds.
Abigail Hobbs was allocated 10 pounds.
