    The first deposition is brought in by Giles Corey in which he states that he got information from a man who, on the day that Ruth Putnam accused George Jacobs of witchcraft, overheard Thomas Putnam say that his daughter had given him a great gift of land.

    The second deposition is brought in again by Giles Corey along with Francis Nurse, and it is a list of 91 people who give their good opinion of Martha and Rebecca and swear that they never saw them have any dealings with the devil.

    The third deposition is the one that Proctor forces Mary Warren to sign stating that the girls have been lying, that Mary had never seen any sign of witchcraft and that she too was lying to the court.
