    The first person to start the accusations is Abigail, Betty Parris's cousin, who, ironically enough, had already stated that she would kill anyone who breathed a word of what had happened in the forest with Tituba.  Abigail, pleasant young lady that she is, has been engaging in the funky spells as well as drinking chicken blood to try to kill Elizabeth Procter, the wife of the man with whom she once had an affair.  After Abigail accuses Tituba of being a witch, the frightened Tituba professes her faith in God and then accuses the Goodwives Good and Osburn of witchcraft.  Then Betty wakes up from her stupor, and she and Abigail proceed to provide a list of persons they claim to have seen with the Devil.
