Hathorne confronts Giles about storming into his courtroom, then Deputy Governor Danforth, Ezekiel Cheever, and the Reverend Parris enter. The narrator describes Hathorne as a big, remorseless man in his sixties. 
Reverend Hale tries to calm Giles down, and then Judge Hathorne enters.
Herrick carries Giles into the vestry room, and now we are privy to the scene. Danforth tells the Marshal to remove the man, and Giles wants to know why the court won’t hear his evidence. Giles speaks and says that Thomas Putnam’s greed for land is fueling these lies. Then we hear the voice of Giles, Martha’s husband, saying he has evidence for the court, and Deputy Governor Danforth’s voice telling the excited townspeople to keep their seats. Though we don’t see them, we hear Judge Hathorne in the courtroom questioning Martha Corey, who denies being a witch. The setting is the vestry room of the Salem church, which has been turned into a courtroom.
