Mr. Maule was stubborn in the defense of his property, but at last he was' executed for witchcraft. comdcmned to this cruel fate by the majesterial harshness of Colonel Pyncheon. After Colonel Pyncheon had secured the. 131111 by his wicked deed he erected a beautiful house with seven gables. The house completed, the Colonel invited all the people of the town to a feast, At this feast he was V found dead. but the cause of his death was never known. Alter two centuries had passed 211111 the beautiful house was all tattered and torn with the curse of Mathew Maulc upon it a descendant of Colonel Pyncheonis was murdered. Clifford Pyncheon. the dead manls nephew, was ' sent to prison for the crime.
