There were so police in the

Thousands Of people watched

Perjury Defendant
Remuins Calm as
Fate Is Debated
By kewboId koyes, Jr.,
ond Robert K. Welsh
sior Stoff Correspondents

NEW YORK, July 8-The jury
celebrating the fate of Alger Hiss
on perjury charges in Federal
Court here today asked Judge
Samuel H. kaufman to repeat
part of his charge concerning
"corroborative and circumstantlal
evidence" The 10 men and 2
women gave no indication OF
reaching an early verdict. how
ever.
The jury that received the case
at APO pm. yesterday had been
in the jury room itself total OF
more than eight hours when it
prepared to go to lunch at l pm.
today. From 10:30 o'clock last
night until they resumed delibera-
ton at $50 am. today, the jurors
stayed at a hotel.
On receiving a note at 11:4O
am. requesting a restatement OF
a portion of the charge, Judge
Kaufman read again his instruc-
tons of yesterday dealing with
Federal law provisions as to proof
of perjury either by testimony OF
two independent witnesses or by
the testimony of one witness and
corroborative evidence.
The Government relies on the
testimony of Whitaker Cham
bers. former Communist courier.
and what it called solid, silent
witnesses" such as exhibits OF
handwritten and typewriter
copies of State Department secret
documents. The Government con-
tends that Mr.. Hiss, while in the
State Department, gave that con-
ndential material to Mr.. Cham
bers In 1888.
The issue for the jury to decide
in this trial is whether Mr.. Hiss
committed perjury last December
when he told Federal grand jury
here that he never gave secret
documents to Mr.. Chambers and
never saw him after January /,
1887, until last summer.
Speculation swept through the
spectators in the courtroom today
when the jury filed in to hear
Judge Kaufman re-read excerpts
from his charge. The jurors, how
ever. listened impassively. but gave
no sign as to the drift of their
deliberations up to this point, or
as to the reason why they appar-
emily wanted clarification of the
meaning and significance of cor
roborative and circumstantial
evidence.

Head Of Syrian Party
Executed in Lebanon

BEIRUT, Lebanon, July g.
Anton Saadeh, president OF the
outlawed Syrian National Party
was executed by a firing squad
this morning, after peing sen
fenced in a secret court-martlal
last night.
Saadeh was arrested early yes
terday as Syrian and Lebanon

stamp out guerrillas of the Ma
tional Party who have terrorized
outlying areas for more than a
month.

porating Lebanon, Syria. Trans
Jordan and Arab Palestine.
The local press has been pre-
vented from reporting Saadeh's
execution abroad.
