how many women have been arrested for witchcraft?

Depends on what part of the play you are taling about Early it is just 2 as they begin to get the "riff raff" off the streets and out of the ditches. As the numbers of "crying outs" and arrests increase. In all 19 people were killed because of a conviction of witchcraft, although Giles Corey only died of contempt of court when he was pressed to death.
