927 THE ALGER HISS TRIAL
Cross-Examination by the Prosecution
The prosecutor showed Sayre the four handwritten documents. He hoped to prove that these long memos were different from Hiss's usual memos, suggesting that Hiss intentionally summarized them to steal them.
!$• Do you remember seeing these memos?
A* I cannot testify that I saw them or that I did not
see them. I have no specific knowledge.
CJ. Are they different from Mr. Hiss's usual memos?
A* Yes, they are quite different. Most of his memos
were a few phrases. These four memos are summaries.
Q« Do you know why these four memos are neatly
creased down the middle?
A* I can offer no knowledge.
Be tlie Jury
Why were Hiss's memos so detailed?
Why were the memos neatly folded instead of crumpled up?
