Jails approached capacity and the colony "teetered on the brink of chaos" when Governor Phips returned from England. After months of trials, the governor of Massachusetts finally decided to put an end to the trials with the last trials being held in May of 1693. The governor pardoned the rest of the accused and they were released from jail. At least 20 people were put to death during the trials. Over 150 more were jailed and some people died due to poor conditions in jail.
