THE GEORGE JACOBS HOUSE, DAN-
VERS, MASS. This is a rear view of the old George
Jacobs house, the master of which was hanged for witchcraft
on Gallows Hill, Salem, August 19, 1692. The house stands
in a field, at the foot of Gardners Hill, on the road from North
Salem at the edge of Danversport. His remains were buried
in the field between the house and the street. Salem receives
the unenviable historical notoriety for the mad delusion, be-
cause the trials were held in her courts, but Danvers, which
formed a part of Salem until the year 1752, really was the
originating point. The first accusers were children. Nine-
teen persons were hanged and one man. Giles Corey, pressed
to death in the six months, March to September, 1692.
