ord was caused by the fact Crawford
had begun to weep even as he was
denying his guilt, and then had sud-
denly broken down completely for sev-
eral minutes before confessing.
Testimony that Crawford had boasted
during an argument in Boston on
October 20, 1882, that he had killed
two white women in Virginia and "did
not mind killing a Negro woman in
Massachusetts,, was introduced by the
commonwealth late yesterday.
Robert Hutchings of Newark. N. j.
colored, a Federal narcotic agent ani
former Army captain, told the jury
Crawford went under the name of VIII
liam Harris. He said he had first met
the defendant after he heard an argu-
ment between the accused and Ionia
Daugherty, colored, Of Boston, in the
room next to his.
Going in as peacemaker, he said
he saw Crawford with his hands in his
pocket as though he were going to
draw a gun. adding:
Crawford said he had killed T..
white women in Virginia and didn,
mind killing Negro woman in Massa
chusetts."
Informs Authorities.
Later, Hutchings testified, he learned
about the murder of Mrs. Ilsley and
her maid. and while on a trip to
Richmond he notified Assistant At
torney General Gibson and, subse-
quently, Commonwealth Attorney
Galleher, of Crawfords presence in
Boston
A scrap OF torn note paper bearing
writing which an expert witness testi-
ned was the hand of Crawford be-

links in the chain of evidence against
the accused colored man. It bore the
inscription. Mr.. Nokes, Box 81, Hern-
don," and Dennis j. Murphy, WASH
ington policeman and former member
of the homicide squad. testified it had
been found in Mrs. Ilsley's automobile.
which the State contends Crawford
used to make his escape.
Hammond and RastuS Nokes colored
residents of the section near Herndon,
had testified earlier that Crawford had
paid them visit two nights before the
double murder.
Following the brief adjournment, the
commonwealth put on again its Boston
witnesses in order that the jurors might
hear all that had been brought out in
the confession hearing.
4LLo IlAIic, lOAtNeT, hIduS READ IN
open court the text of the confession in
which Crawford described how he and
another colored man had broken into
the 1lsley cottage intent upon robbery
and killed Mrs. Ilsley during the crime
that netted them nothing much"
He could identify his accomplice only
as Charlie Johnson" who he said
lived in the 1000 block of Third street
in Washington. Police checking up on
this address were unable to locate the
house number or any one by the name
Crawford gave them
The confession said Crawford stood
watch outside while johnson went in
the house. A few moments later John
son came running back and said MAN
They grabbed me-" Crawford stated. He
said johnson had brick in his hand
when he went in the place and he
thought it was used to kill Mrs. Ilsley
Crawford said they escaped from the
house together, went down and took a
car from the garage beneath the cottage
and drove to Arlington County near
Hoover Airport. He received IS as his

Hugh S. johnson, addressing the con-
ference inaugurated at the White House
today on consumer protection under the
recovery programs price raising en-
deavors, urged consumers organizations
to be on the alert against "extortion."
but not to object to justified price ad-
vances.
Consumers have been asleep at the
switch" he told the representatives of
organizations and the Government on
hand, recalling that recently a public
hearing to consider unwarranted price
advances, which have been scheduled
br the N. r. A., had to be postponed
because no consumers appeared to mARy
objections.
- Articulate Consumer Topic.
How to make the consumer articu-
late in the N. r. A. regime was the
crux Of the discussion in which Govern
ment officials and representatives Of
national organizations participated.
The tWo-day conference was called
jointly by DR.. Fred C. Howe, consumers
counsel of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, and Mrs. Mary H.
Rumsey, chairman of the Consumers
Advisory Board of the n r. A. A hun
dred attended, two-thirds Of them be-

sion, held at the White House by in
vitation of Mrs. Roosevelt, included
Secretary Wallace. DIR. Howe, and w.
H. Davis, N. r. A. national compliance
director.
First Pooling of Efforts.
It was the first time the two con-
sumers' agencies had pooled their ef-
forts actively in an attempt to promote
consumer distributor relations designed
to stimulate purchasing and at the
same time insure to the purchasers
their moneys worth.
Scheduled for open discussion was
the question of the best method of OBJ
tanning adequate consumer representa-
ton at local public hearings on mar
keting agreements and other matters
affecting prices. Government officials
pointed to the numerous scheduled
hearings on milk distribution as offer
ing field where such representatives

Balance of sI.Ol2,0OO, 600.

The latest Treasury statement showed
a balance in the general fund OF ST.
012,000 900. Today's operations were ex-
pected to increase it by $4,000 900 and
ordinary receipts for the remainder of
the month by S185, 100000. Expendi-
lures for the balance of the month were
estimated at 1856, 900 900.
Thus the Treasury would start the
new calendar year with a balance of
nearly ST 060 100000.
Soon afterward. public works expen-
ditures are expected to increase greatly,
running to more than S1,700000 900 in
the ensuing six months. The rate OF
expenditure is expected to increase as
the days pass, throwing the bulk Of this
outlay into the months of April, May
and June.
With ordinary receipts swelling the
general fund. officials believe the flo
tation of a special bond issue can be
postponed until March Is with a single
operation suficing for this and for
the conversion of securities maturing

tion Finance Corporation. told report

to give the extent of gold purchases
in foreign markets. A week ago he
said they had been extremely negli-
gible.
He denied reports that the daily

Blanket Codes to Die
After Christmas,
Experts Say.
BY PAUL MALLON.

practically and legally impos-
i sible to keep the Blue Eagle
blanket agreement alive after
New Year day
The contract he made with employees
expires then. What to do?
Under the law he cannot merely issue
another executive order. The millions
of employers would have to agree in
dividually, because a contract cannot be
renewed without consent of the party OF
the second part. That would be too
big a job even for Gen. johnson.
The only thing left to do is for the
President to issue a public appeal to
all employers, asking them to continue
to respect and obey the battered old
bird. even when it is dead.
Prosecutions Impossible.
The dscision is not official yet. but it
will be soon.
What it means is that no one can
be prosecuted for violations. However,

The matter is important because there
are about 750 codes yet to be signed.
About $50 now are in effect. Those
without codes are generally working
under the blanket agreement. OF course
the first $50 now in effect do represent
the bulk of industry.
But if officials wanted to be ruth
full. they would confess their suspicious
that the blanke+ agreement is not even
nov being very widely observed.
No one can proue it, but the
hints are strong that lot OF
little employers haze found it too
burdensome aud haze quietly
dropped the idea without re-
porting.
Only a few of the major effective
codes have to be renewed within two
years. In this class are steel and auto
mobiles. Steel already has signlhed It's
