the trial for slander of Sarah Bridgman, who had called Mary parsons a witch, and in the course of the proceedings George Alexander and Samuel Allen were called upon to testify about an ox which had been bitten by a rattlesnake, it was alleged, through the witchcraft of Mary Parsons. Both Alexander and Allen said that they saw "nothing but what might com to passe in ye ordinary way and they killed the rattle snake." In the course of time Alexander apparently became more credulous as to the power of witches, for in 1691 he was one of the accusers of Mary Randall, whose offense was "familiarity with the devil."
