46 / THE ALGER HISS TRIAL
the parking lot of a restaurant on the highway to Washington and gave him the rug. I have seen this rug rolled up in a closet in Mr. Hiss's apartment. We worked together until April 1938, when I left the party.
Q* Did you see Mr. and Mrs. Hiss socially? A* Yes. Shortly after I met Hiss, he was moving to a furnished house. I needed an apartment in Washington. Hiss offered me his old apartment for free. The day we were supposed to move in, the van with our furniture didn't come, so we stayed with the Hisses in their new place for a few days.
When we moved to New York City, they visited us in June or July 1935. It was miserably hot. Hiss showed me an ad for a cottage in Long Eddy, New York. I went with them in their Ford to see it. The cottage wasn't good. My wife and I rented a cottage in Smithtown that summer.
Hiss and his lawyer looked up in surprise.
