When Mr.. Murphy noted that
the title transfer certificate bore
only the name of Mr.. Hiss. the
defendant explained that this is
the customary procedure in the
District.
But wouldn't it appear to q

MIR. Murphy was still hammerins
at the defense's story but ap-

his testimony or his composure.
The witness seemed almost to be
enjoying himself. Several times
he angered Mr.. Murphy by cor
recting his grammar or picking
the prosecutor up on minor mis-
statements Of fact in hts ques-
tons.
Taking over the witness at ll:15

asking whether Mr.. Hiss wished
in anyway to change or amplify
the story he has told at his per-
jerry trial here. that he knew his
accuser. Whitaker Chambers.

Mr.. Hiss said he had nothing
to add, and the prosecutor then
embarked on the cross-examina-
ton which is expected to take at
least two days and which may pro-
foundry influence the jury in its
ultimate decision as to whether
Mr.. Hiss is guilty or innocent.

into details in describing the bat

He said that on August Is he

Mr.. Chambers had denounced him

the Government in Washington.
Mr.. Hiss took the witness stand

Questioned About Shapiro.
Advancing toward the witness
for cross-examination. Mr.. Palmer
shouted: "You know Harold Sha-
piro. don't you?"
Mr.. Foley said he had lived in
the same boarding house with Mr..
Shapiro for few weeks last year.
The prosecution objected to furth-

cause his name had not been men,

Mr.. Foley was followed on the
witness stand by Nathan B. Len
win, an attorney in the Foreign
Agents Registration Section Of the
Justice Department who shared
an office with Miss Coplon for q
month before her arrest. Miss
sCoplon had testified she had cop-
...fided to Mr.. Lenvin that aslae Us
seeing q member Of the United
Nations secretariat in New York
when he asked her If she had a
boy friend there.
Mr.. Lenvin said he asked why
she was making so many trips to
New York.
She specifically denied" Mr..
Lenvin said, that she had boy
friend In New York. but said she
was making the trips up there to
ind a job"
Careful With Money.
Mr.. Palmer asked why Mr.. Len
win was interested in finding out
II Miss Coplon had a boy friend
In New York and he replied:
Because Judy was pretty care
full with q dollar. I knew all those
trips to New York were expensive
and since we were friends, was
interested in knowing why she was
going up there"
Mr.. Palmer then asked Mr.. Len
win if he was friendly with Mr..
Shapiro. Mr.. Lenvin said he knew
MIR. Shapiro, but Mr.. Kelley
blocked any further questions on
that subject.
The final Government witness
was Harold Koffsky. an attorney
in the internal security section
of the Justice Department. who
said he was "a friend" of Miss
Coplon. He said he also was a
friend of Mr.. Shapiro and had
played squash with him.
Miss Coplon had testified that
she had confided to Mr.. Koffsky
that Mr.. Foley had shown her a
"top-secret" FBI report on Soviet
intelligence and Communist Party
activity in the United States.
Miss Coplon never mentioned

Koffsky said today.
