the first week of the re-trial,
that Mr.. Murphy will build his
new case mainly around this
documentary evidence. It is a
sound bet, as the case goes for
ward, that the prosecutor again
and again figuratively will throw
the typewriter and the docu-
ments in Mr.. Hiss face.
Mr.. Chambers May Not Testify.
This time, he will try to create
an atmosphere in which the jury's
ultimate decision is based, not SO
much on a decision between Mr..
Hiss and Mr.. Chambers, as on
one as to whether Mr.. Hiss has
been able to get around the stern
fact of the documentary evidence
against him.
The Governments attempt to
play down the Importance of Mr..
Chambers personality in the pro-
ceedings may have an interesting
effect on the part that his wife,
Mrs. Esther Shemitz Chambers,
is called on to play.
At the end of the first trial. a
number of jurors mentioned the
unfavorable impression Mrs.
Chambers made on them as a wit
ness. This. together with the fact
that Mr.. Chambers himself has
testified this time to much Of the
material formerly reserved to his
wife, has caused considerable
speculation along the line that
Mrs. Chambers may not be asked
to take the stand in the present
trial.

the jury, one way or the other
is in the style and manner of the
opposing attorneys. The contrast
between Claude B. Cross. the new
defense attorney. and Lloyd Paul
Stryker. Mr.. Hiss lawyer in the
first trial. already has caused
much comment. Mr.. Cross is as
mild and diffident as Mr.. Stryker
was loud and dramatic.
But more remarkable yet is the
metamorphosis of Mr.. Murphy
When he was opposing Mr.
Stryker, the giant government
lawyer underplayed his role all
the way through, never showing
his power until. on the last day OF
the trial, he astonished observers
with the eloquence of his summa-
ton. Until that moment. he
seemed unsure of himself, and
slow footed in comparison with
his nimble opponent.
This time, spectators, in the
Foley Square courtroom are seeing
a different Mr.. Murphy in action
The situation is completely re-
versed from the one prevailing
last spring. The prosecutor now is
as tough and belligerent as the
rules Of legal etiquette will permit
him to be.
While Mr.. Murphy privately ad-
mits he has high respect for Mr..
Cross ability. he publicly never
misses chance to show scorn for
the defense lawyer. He bullies
him numerically. snarls, bellows
and demands that Judge Henry
W. Goddard "admonish" Mr.. Cross

Changes in Tactics
Mark Second Trial
OF Hiss Perjury Case
By NewboId Noyes, Jr.
Stor StoH Correspondent

NEW YORK. Nov. 26.-It is a
strange phenomenon that, for
those who are interested enough
in trials to follow them closely,
the second Alger Hiss trial is turn
ing out to be more interesting than
the first one.
Warmed-over news is q re-
porter's nightmare. But the press
corps assigned to the second
round courtroom battle of Mr..
Hiss and his arch foe. Whitaker
Chambers, is finding it is no more
a simple re-hash of last spring. S
drama than. say, the second
Dempsey-Tunney fight was re-
hash of the first one.
The impact of this deadly con-
f1ict between two prominent and
intelligent men is not lessened by
the knowledge that they fought
to a draw before. This meeting
has all the fascination of the last
one-plus that of observing subtle
changes in attack and defense
growing out of the lessons of the
first trial.
These changes may prove to be
of great Importance when the jury
finally sits down to decide whether
Mr.. Hiss did in fact smuggle secret
documents, before the war. out of
his State Department Office for
Mr.. Chambers, an admitted ex-
Communist agent who later be-
came senior editor of Time naga-
zine.
Murphy Shifts Tactics.
The most obvious tactical shift
so far observable results plainly
from a lot Of serious thought on
the part of the prosecutor, Assist
ant United States Attorney Thorn
as F. Murphy. In the first trial,
which ended with a hung jury last
July 8. Mr.. Murphy at the ou:/t
staked him whole case on the
credibility of his star witness, Mr..
Chambers.
This was coldly deliberate.
The 250-pound prosecutor told
the jury fatty in his opening
statement that the Government
had no case unless the members
believed Mr.. Chambers. This was
technically true, but Mr.. Murphy
went further. He urged the jurors
to concentrate their attention on
Mr.. Chambers demeanor on the
stand, and challenged the defense
to subject him to the most search
ing cross examination possible.
In short, he deliberately fos-
tered an attitude in the jury that
the entire case hung on the ques-
ton whether Mr.. Chambers OF
Mr.. Hiss looked more like a man
telling the truth.
Documentary Evidence.
This time it is evident that Mr..
Murphy feels it was a tactical
error to put his eggs in the one
basket of Mr.. Chambers credi-
bilitly. For there are, Of course,
other witnesses in the prosecution
case - mute, impersonal wit
nesses, much harder to cross
examine than is Mr.. Chambers,
not so easily discredited even in
the most suspicious mind.
These are 46 copies OF the
stolen State Department papers,
and an old typewriter of the
Kisses on which, according to the
experts in such matters, the copies
were made.
There was every indication, In
