Alger Hiss
Alger hiss was a soviet spy in 1948
Alger Hiss was implicated in espionage primarily through the testimony of Whittaker Chambers, a former communist who claimed that Hiss had been a member of the Communist Party and had passed classified documents to him. The most significant piece of evidence was the discovery of microfilm containing State Department documents, known as the "Pumpkin Papers," which Chambers claimed Hiss had given him. Additionally, the timing and nature of Hiss's interactions with Chambers, along with inconsistencies in Hiss's own testimony, contributed to the perception of his guilt. Despite his conviction for perjury, Hiss maintained his innocence throughout his life.
Alger Hiss was accused of espionage by Whittaker Chambers, a self identified communist, in 1984.
Alger Hiss was accused of being a soviet (communist) spy in 1948 and convicted of perjury in connection with this charge in 1950.
