D e f e n s e W itnesses / 101 The FBI also showed me pictures of typewriters and asked if any of them was like Mrs. Hiss's typewriter. I said I didn't know nothing about typewriters. Then Mr. Chambers came in. He asked me about furniture and a red rug. I said I had never seen a red rug on the floor. But there was a red rug rolled up in the playroom on the fourth floor. That rug is now on the floor of the Hisses' present house. Then he said he had slept at 30th Street overnight. I told him he didn't because they only had two bedrooms. The front bedroom, where [Hiss's stepson] Timmy slept, was just big enough for a single bed and a table. The Hisses slept in the back bedroom in a double bed. I never made up any other beds, and I took care of everything like that. The prosecutor chose not to cross-examine Catlett. Be the Jury Why didn't Catlett see Chambers if he visited frequently?
