Hiss Indicted On Charges Of Passing Secrets
The indictment accuses Hiss of denying before a Federal grand jury that he fed Chambers government secrets to spies or that he met Chambers after 1937. The defense used servant testimony to support his denial. Mrs. Claudia Catlett testified about a toy typewriter connected to the Hisses and about Chambers visiting Hiss’s Washington home.
