He seems to be a folk healer who was implicated by Katherine Mitchell and others for some reason.The prosecution inferred his pact from his healing activities. He jeopardized people's baptismal covenants, and lured others into a tacit pact.Dug up two corpses at Muckhart. Was being paid in kind for healing animals and people.He cured ale problems with verbal formula. Folk healer who was being paid pretty large sums in money and kind. Most of the accusations are for straight healing, except a few where he takes revenge for not being paid enough or on time. (English)
