More Info on the 1692 Salem Courthouse: Connection to the Witch Trials This was the place were those accused of witchcraft were tried and condemned to death. To sum up, there were nineteen people sentenced to death by hanging by the Court of Oyer and Terminer. The best known of the trials was the one of Giles Corey who refused plead “guilty or innocent” and thus was pressed to death with heavy stones. The executions ended in September of 1692. Shortly after, Governor Phips dissolved the Court of Oyer and Terminer. However, as more than 50 of the accused were still in jail, additional trials were held during 1693. Three of the convicted were actually still found guilty but all of them were reprieved by Phips.
