While his wife, who was also accused, was put in a jail cell to rot, Corey refused to accuse anyone else of witch craft or wizardry. He plead for death, as opposed to confessing to a "crime" in which he was innocent, just to be certain that his farm that had been deeded to his two son-in-laws, wouldn't become state property after his death. Giles Corey was extremely courageous and honorable in the face of death. "
