Alger Hiss to Seek Coram Nobis Clearing of Conviction
Alger Hiss says he will file a Coram Nobis appeal in a New York federal court to erase his 1950 conviction for lying to the House committee. He plans to prove via FBI files obtained under FOIA that prosecutors knew Whittaker Chambers was lying, and his aim is legal vindication not public speaking. He is 73, formerly a State Department official, now a salesman, and was released from prison in 1954 after a 44 month term.
