Peine forte et dure was used at least as late as the Salem witch trials,
in 1692, when one Giles Cory was pressed to death. According to The
Devil in Massachusetts, ”It must have been supposed when the ordeal
began that after a certain number of rocks had been placed on Cory’s
chest he would break down and consent to giving testimony. But Giles
Cory had endured, his only recorded utterance--and it is tradition which
records it--being an occasional gasp, ’More weight.’ ”
