NEW YORK, June 11 - After entering a plea of not guilty and sitting through a trial which lasted two days, James E. Foye, formerly a clerk at the Biltmore Hotel, finally changed his mind late yesterday and pleaded guilty to theft of $350,000 worth of jewelry from Mrs. Regina V. G. Millhiser while she was a guest at the hotel. Foye at first admitted disposing of the jewels, but claimed they had been given him by a young woman whose good name he wished to shield. The case was just on the point of going to the jury when the prisoner decided to admit hie guilt. He will be sentenced June 12. All but $30,000 worth of the jewelry has been recovered.
