160 / THE ALGER HISS TRIAL
Be the Jury
The jury began its deliberations. They had to decide:
• Did the prosecutor prove Alger Hiss guilty of perjury beyond a reasonable doubt P
• Count 1: Did Hiss lie when he said he did not pass Chambers these documents dated January—March 1938 P
• Count II: Did Hiss lie when he said he did not see Chambers after January 1, 1937P
Go over what each prosecution witness said. Did you believe the witness? Did the cross-examination prove the testimony was false or unreliable?
