They tell me you are wicked and I believe them, for I have seen your painted women under the gas lamps luring the farm boys/ And they tell me you are crooked and I answer: yes, it is true I have seen the gunman kill and go free to kill again.?

c. People are literally dying rather than lying about committing a crime that would save their life, in order for them to save their “eternal lives” (martyrs in a sense)
d. John did not accuse other people to simply save himself
e. When Elizabeth’s faith/morals are questioned by Danforth, she lies to protect John
f. Danforth has the choice between possibly wrongfully convicting people if he ignores possible evidence, or hearing out this new evidence and take the chance of being wrong and destroying his name.
