According to years, the statistics work out as follows : In 1898 sentences amounting to 19 months ; in 1899 to 4 years 4 months and 28 days ; in 1903 to 22 months and 8 days ; in 1904 to 26 months and 26 days ; in 1905 to 2 years and 14 days ; in 1906 to 13 years 7 months and 11 days; in 1907 to 12 years 7 months and 20 days ; and in the first three months of 1908 to 40 years and 8 months. During the years 1900 — 1903, while the Széll Cabinet was in power, some attempt was made to treat the Nationalities as human beings, arid the persecution ceased. The Coalition Cabinet has thrown all such scruples to the winds.
