78 / THE ALGER HISS TRIAL
Witness: Ramos Feelian
Feehan, a laboratory agent for the FBI, was an expert witness. Expert witnesses are sometimes police officers or handwriting experts. Expert witnesses may interpret evidence and give opinions.
Feehan had examined the typewritten documents. He explained that all documents, except Exhibit 10, had been typed on the Hisses' Woodstock typewriter. Enlargements of the typed documents and of letters typed by Mrs. Hiss on the Woodstock stood on two easels. Feehan stood on a platform and used a pointer to show similarities and convince the jury that the stolen documents had been typed on the Hisses' typewriter.
