The Hungarian Trials

SIR,—You say, in commenting on the Hungarian " treason " trials, " How the confessions are extracted is a matter of speculation, and there it must be left." But is that so ? Cannot the victims of the " Vickers" trials enlighten us ?—I am, Sir, yours faithfully, HERBERT R. BARTON.
