Objectivism is a philosophy that stresses the external rather than the internal. They believe that most things exist outside of what people know or feel and that the truth especially exists beyond what people know.
The phrase "clear sight and clean soul" supports this belief because in order to see things that are outside of yourself you need to have clear sight, the ability to see things beyond what you already know and believe. You also need to have a clean soul in order to look at things with a fresh perspective.
In order to put pressure on Corey to give an answer, the courts tortured the man, placing large stones on his chest to force him to say something. Despite the horrific pain, Corey refuses to incriminate himself or any of his friends and neighbors, simply asking for "more weight" before he dies from the crushing burden of the stones. This leaves the community, and the Proctors in particular, with the impression that Corey was "a fearsome man." He is respected for his strength and courage in the face of the court's insane practices. Being a landowner in this time, was seen as having power. It was something sought after by many men and they would stop at nothing to get what they wanted. Putnam wanted more and more land and Corey Giles owned land.
