136 / THE ALGER HISS TRIAL
Witness: Henrikas Rabinavicius
Rabinavicius, a former Lithuanian diplomat, testified that Hede Massing had lied on the stand. He explained that Hiss and Noel Field were not at the State Department at the same time, so Hiss could not have tried to recruit him then. He described his conversation with Mrs. Massing at Eugene Lyons's party:
I said, "During your conversation with Hiss, did he tell you he was a Communist or a spy?" She said, "No. He didn't tell me. I knew he was." I asked her, "How could you know if he didn't tell you?" And she said, "You don't understand. One spy recognizes another spy."
