"The Crucible” setting (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'the crucible setting' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(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 Wall Street Journal, the King Feature Syndicate and The New York Times.
