"The man on trial in early 1805 was Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase, the first and only member of the high court ever to be impeached. The man presiding over that trial was Vice President Aaron Burr, who was dodging charges in New Jersey for fatally shooting Alexander Hamilton in a duel the previous summer. "Formerly it was the practice in courts of justice to arraign the murderer before the Judge, but now we behold the Judge arraigned before the murderer," wrote one Boston newspaper under the headline: "The World Upside Down." Unlike President Donald Trump, who declined to testify at his second impeachment trial, Chase decided to speak on his own behalf."

"Yet another form of 'evidence' sought was the Devil's mark or witch mark. People believed that when a person agreed to serve the Devil he kissed or bit them. That left a mark on the person's body. Any mole, birthmark or abnormal growth could be seen as a witch mark. Obviously most people have a mole or birthmark somewhere. Anyone accused of being a witch was likely to be stripped and examined. People believed that if any unusual mark or growth was pricked but did not bleed it was evidence you were a witch. (Unlike 'spectral evidence', which was highly unusual looking for witch marks was common in the 17th century)."
