1267 THE ALGER HISS TRIAL
A* I never thought about the possibility. Q. And after he used this car for a while and then told you he couldn't keep it anymore, you just agreed to be responsible for taking care of it during the winter? A. Yes.
The prosecutor tried to show that Hiss had associated with other Communists.
Q« Did you ever know people who were Communists?
A* I have never known anybody whom I knew to be a Communist. I knew some people at law school and in the government who it was said were Communists.
Hiss was asked about many specific men, all of whom had been accused by Chambers of being Communists. Hiss said that he knew them all.
The prosecutor showed check stubs for the storage of the Oriental rug for nine months, including three months after the Hisses had moved into Volta Place. The prosecution believed the rug was stored because it incriminated Hiss.
