ADMITTED BEING
SPECIAL AGENT
After Confession to RObberies
Witness Was Employed
by Express Company
(Hy The Associated Press). .

MACON, Ca, March 22.-During his
cross examination today in the trial
of SO persons accused of conspiracy to
steal express shipments from the Unit
ed States government, w. A. Hughes
admitted that, after he had confessed
to express robberies, he was employed
as a special agent of the American
Railway Express company Ito obtain
evidence to back my testimony
Wallace Miller, leading cousel for
the defense, put Hughes through a
rigid cross-examination and had not
concluded when court recessed until
tomorrow morning.
AS to his testimony connecting all
but two of the accused persons with
the alleged conspiracy, Hughes de-
clared that he was not having daily
|rehearsals with attorneys for the gov
ernment or with any one else. He de-
clared that he recalled from memory
the information that he had given.
AT different times. he said, he had
reduced to writing the story of the
transactions in which he had figured,
and he said that he had used this in
formation on two occasions.
He admitted that he knew when he
was testifying before the federal grand
jury he was making out a conspiracy
case.
did not Supt. r. II. Mays tell you
to continue stealing and to persuade
others to steal" asked Miller.
He said if got orders for goods
from the men to take them and he
would furnish me the goods to send
them"
Hughes said that when the company
announced that it would return to the
pre-war system of checking there was
a protest from all the messengers.
The witness declared that he could
not estimate the total value of the
shipments he had stolen, nor their
number. The only records that he kept
were of what people owed him, he said.
Just before Hughes finished his di-
rect examination at the morning ses-
sion of court, he said Eugene Stovall
suggested that l open q store and he
told me that there are 110 Of Us, who
can supply the goods"
Numerous alleged thefts and sales
OF stolen goods were enumerated by
the witness before his arrest, and sew
eral alleged transactions following his
arrest, one a harness which he said
he had sold to Captain Smith (con-
ductor), were recited by the witness.
"This harness." he said, was ordered
before my arrest" He said that Su-
perintendent Mays suggested that he
go through with the deal.
In his testimony Hughes named spe-
cific transactions with all but two of
the accused men.

Cabinet in Two Hours Session
Discusses International Affairs

1t was said that the study was only
informative in character, Mr.. hughes
making no recommendations and the
cabinet attempting no decisions on spe-
cific subjects. Exhaustive consideration
was given to no particular phase of the
general picture, the purpose being mere
ly to put all the facts at the disposal or
Mr.. Harding's official family so that di-
rections to be made in the future may
be made with comprehensive knowledge
OF collateral issues.
Thus it was understood that in con-
sidering the league of nations and other
considerations involved in the European
situation, the president and his cabinet
made no effort to canvass details OF pol
icy but merely availed themselves OF all
the latest official information IN prepa-
ration for the decisions yet TO be made.

been passed over with a general survey

BOTH SIDES HAVE
MADE CONCESSIONS
Conference Will Be Continued
With Mediators
Today.

WASHINGTON, March 24-Pros :
poets of peace in the packing industry
We're understood to be brighter to-
night than at any time since Secretary
Davis, acting at the direction of Pres
ident Harding and with the assistance
of Secretaries Hoover and Wallace be-
gan his efforts at mediation in the dis
pute between the big five packers and
their union employees.
The principal events of the day in
cluded conference between Secretary
Davis and representatives of the en-
ployes. consideration of the matter at
the regular cabinet meeting and sep
arate conferences between Mr. Davis
and the packers representatives and
between the labor secretary and the
employees delegates AT the close of
the last conference Secretary Davis
announced that he would continue mis-
meeting with the employees representa-
tives at $3.50 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing.
AS the matter stood tonight it was
believed that the employees had agreed
in a general way to the wage reduce
ton put into effect March z, and that
in turn the packers had agreed 10
the extension of the war time Alschu-
Ter agreement for submission of differ
ences between them and their en-
ployes to permanent mediation. The
matter of hours, it was believed, would
be solved by the adoption of a weekly
maximum base don an eight hour day
to meet the peculiar conditions OBJ
tanning in the packing industry. The
question of hours was considered be-
nor difference, but it is understood
now that the question involves the
consideration of a mass of technical
data.
After comforting with the packers
representatives last night and with
employees delegates this morning, the
labor secretary indicated before he at
tended today's cabinet meeting that
he hoped for an early settlement, and
so informed the cabinet. Similar opti-
mism was reflected in other quarters.
Returning to the department of la
Dor from the cabinet meeting for
joint meeting which had been ar
ranged for o'clock and for which
both sides had arrived, Secretary Da-
Wis called Carl Meyer and G.. Gregory
Condor for the packers in his office
for an hours session. Later he was
closeted with Dennis Lane and Red
mond S. Brennan, representing the
employees, and then announced a con-
tinuation of this conference fer tomor-
row morning.
