Hiss Seeks Third Trial Over Alleged Forged Typewriter
Alger Hiss’s appeal for a third trial was denied in federal court. Judge Henry W. Goddard ruled no newly discovered evidence could lead to acquittal, keeping Hiss in Lewisburg Prison serving a five-year term. The case centers on claims of forged correspondence linked to Whittaker Chambers and prewar secrets.
