"The Crucible" setting (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">the crucible setting</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for salem that I've seen before include "Massachusetts city, scene of witch hunt" , "trial scene" , "Capital of Oregon, USA" , "Source of witch-hunt" , "Location of US witch trials" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Penny Press, the USA Today and the King Feature Syndicate.
