60 / THE ALGER HISS TRIAL
Wednesday, November 30, 1949 Witness: Nathan Levine
Direct Examination by the Prosecution
Levine was Chambers's nephew by marriage. The prosecution believed his evidence confirmed that Chambers had hidden away the documents. Levine's testimony was circumstantial: He testified to circumstances surrounding the crime, and the jury drew conclusions from these circumstances.

of the linen closet.
Q. When did you next see it?

him.
Q« Had you ever looked inside this envelope?
A. No.
