72 / THE ALGER HISS TRIAL
The Hisses had moved four times from 1935 to 1938. Mrs. Chambers testified that she had visited all four residences. She also said that the FBI men had taken her and her husband to see the outsides of all these houses and had shown her floor plans of the insides of the houses.
Mrs. Chambers said that the houses on 30th Street and Volta Place were painted white outside. She said the living room at 30th Street was pink. She gave many details about wallpapers, room colors, and furniture. She insisted she had not been inside these houses since 1938.
Q. Did you visit them at their 30th Street apartment?
A* Yes. Twice. The second visit was that New Year's Eve party my husband testified about. We drank port. That is indelibly impressed on my mind because my husband was violently sick after it. Q. Did you visit their Volta Place house? A* Yes, shortly after they moved in. The four of us had a little housewarming party. They served us little sandwiches that they had served that afternoon to other guests.
Mrs. Chambers noted at least twenty times she had been with the Hisses, but she couldn't give any specific dates.
