Hiss Perjury Case To Go to Jury Thursday
The defense wraps up its case in the Alger Hiss perjury trial as the jury of ten men and two women nears deliberation. Lloyd Stryker finishes witnesses and the defense rests, followed by government summation and the judge's charge. Prosecution sought additional testimony and reconsideration of prior rulings on Hede Massing and a 1929 Ford roaster, while Hiss claims he only lent the car to Whittaker Chambers in 1936. Conviction could bring up to 10 years in prison and a $4,600 fine.
