He probably didn't. To explain, his main objective was not to offer knowledge of an event, but to satirize the McCathyists' hunt for communist in Congress. The Salem panic fit his purpose. Also, the sheer number of inaccuracies about the trials in the play suggests he didn't care enough about the trials themselves to do much research.
