Giles Corey
(Jim Spake)
in makeup.
Giles was a very old man;
stage makeup has to be a bit severe to give the proper appearance to the
audience.
This picture was taken before some softening touches were added.
The line I remember about Giles was:
"More weight,
he said,
and died." Stones were piled on him in an attempt to make him confess
(off-stage, of course).
Since he died rather than confess one might presume he was innocent
–
such was Puritan justice!
