94 / THE ALGER HISS TRIAL
Cross-Examination by the Prosecution
The prosecution showed that extra carbons often accompanied memos to other departments.
{$• You said when memos were sent to other divisions, carbons did not go with the original. But there was no rule against secretaries attaching carbons? A* I do not know of any rule against it. Q* Do you know whether or not a carbon was attached to this memo? A. No, sir.
Q« Did you see what your secretary sent to other divisions after you signed the memo? A. No.
The prosecutor focused on two cables that did not go to the Trade Agreements Division, where Wadleigh worked.
Q. Have you ever seen these cables before?
A* I have no real way of knowing, but based on the
subject matter, I don't think they came to us.
Q« If I told you that the Records Branch said that
there was no check-off for you, would you presume
you did not see it?
A. Yes.
