how did townspeople with misgivings about the Salem witch trials attempt to put an end to them? How successful were they?

Testified on their behalf

Explanation:

From evidence in The Crucible about the Salem witch trials, it is shown that there were indeed people who doubted the testimony of the girls making the accusations and the whole situation and so they tried to do their part in saving the accused.

They testified on behalf of some of the accused and defended them saying that they were of good character and would not be involved in witchcraft. They even testified that some of the girls may be lying because they had heard one say that she had accused a person simply because she felt like it.

They were not very successful however because there was so much hysteria surrounding the situation that those who wanted to believe the girls making the accusations outnumbered those with misgivings. This, coupled with the hysterical reactions of the girls making the accusations made it difficult to acquit an accused person.
