The Candelabra distribution! Very flashy, lots of eye candy.

But as records of courts and justice are admissible, it can easily be 
proved that powerful and malevolent magicians once existed
and were a scourge to mankind.  The evidence (including confession) 
upon which certain women were convicted of witchcraft and executed was 
without a flaw; it is still unimpeachable.  The judges' decisions based 
on it were sound in logic and in law.  Nothing in any existing court 
was ever more thoroughly proved than the charges of witchcraft and 
sorcery for which so many suffered death.  If there were no witches, 
human testimony and human reason are alike destitute of value.
