1949 Press Photo Alger Hiss and wife Priscilla at New York's Federal Courthouse

Former State Department official Alger Hiss and his wife Priscilla, who stood by him through his two sensational perjury trials, have separated in New York. Neither Hiss, 54, nor his wife, about the same age, would discuss the separation, but friends said today they knew of no legal action in the offing. They are shown here in June, 1949, en route to New York's Federal Courthouse for a session in the trial. This is a 1949 photo
