Your support of the author s rights is 1692 nineteen men and women and two dogs were convicted and hanged for witchcraft in a smallvillage in eastern Massachusetts. By the standards of our own time, if not of that, it was a minorevent, a spasm of judicial violence that was concluded within a matter of months. The bodies wereburied in shallow graves or not at all, as a further indication that the convicted had not only forfeitedparticipation in the community of man in this life, but in the community of saints in the next.

8 Just howshallow those graves were, however, is evident from the fact that the people buried there were noteradicated from history: their names remain with us to this day, not least because of Arthur Miller, forwhom past events and present realities have always been pressed together by a moral logic. In hishands the ghosts of those who died have proved real enough even if the witches they were presumedto be were little more than fantasies conjured by a mixture of fear, ambition, frustration, jealousy, andperverted 1957 the Massachusetts General Court passed a resolution stating that No disgrace or cause fordistress attached itself to the descendants of those indicted, tried, and sentenced.

9 Declaring theproceedings to be the result of popular hysterical fear of the Devil, the resolution noted that morecivilized laws had superseded those under which the accused had been tried. It did not, however,include by name all those who had suffered, and it was not until 1992 that the omissions wererectified in a further resolution of the court. It had taken exactly three hundred years for the state toacknowledge its responsibility for all those who was the long-delayed end of a story whose beginnings lay in the woods that surrounded thevillage of Salem when, in 1692, a number of young girls were discovered, with a West Indian slavecalled Tituba, dancing and playing at conjuring.

10 To deflect punishment from themselves they accusedothers, and those who listened, themselves insecure in their authority, acquiesced, partly because itserved their interests to do so and partly because they inhabited a world in which witchcraft formed apart of their cosmology. Their universe was absolute, lacking in ambivalence. There was only onetext to consult, and that text reserved only one fate for should it have taken so long to acknowledge error? More significantly, why offer apology atall for an event so long in the past? Perhaps because the needs of justice and the necessity forsustaining the authority of the court have not always been coincident and because there will always bethose who defend the latter, believing that by doing so they sustain the possibility of the because there are those who believe that authority is all of a piece and that to challenge itanywhere is to threaten it was not the first such apology.
