WAS FORCED TO TELL UNTRUTH Boy Witness's Life
 Threatened. NEW TRIAL FOR G00LSBYS Lou Robinson Says He Was Paid
 to Testify. Breaks Down Before Judge Jones and Says Tobe Mitchell Had
 Threatened to XIII
NEW TRIAL FOR eooLsBYs

That he was forced to testify against the Goolsbys in the conspiracy case in the United States Court, by threats against his life and by promises of pay, was the confession of Lon Rob- ertson, a I3-year-old boy, to Judge Jones. in chambers. yesterday morn- ing.
 Two of the Goolsbys and Elem Rich- ards had been convicted, largely. 1t is thought, on the testimony of the boy, and the confession had its effect in the concession of Judge Jones to grant the convicted men a new trial.
 Eben and Bud Goolsby, with their father and Elem Richards, were charged with conspiracy. to intimidate Tobe Mitchell, their neighbor, and a resident Of Covington County, that he would not testify to revenue agents of an alleged Illicit still. which they operated.
 It is alleged that the four beat Mitchell severely, breaking his arm, and cutting him.
 In the trial, which came to an end on May 2s. Bud and Eben Goolsby and Elem Richards were convicted. and the elder Goolsby acquitted.
 In the trial the boy. Lon Robertson, 1[14nk G0 th0t thC NAVOAobJ0 A6A tAAA S@s~ ened his life, in case he testified against them, and that he had heard Bud Goolsby threaten Mitchell.
 The attorneys for the convicted men asked for a new trial. In taking tes- timony on the proposition, Judge Jones examined the mother and sister of Lon Robertson. the boy who had been 6 witness against the Goolsbys The mother wsas a bitter enemy of Mitchell, while the girl was apparently devoted to young Mitchell, the son of the man who was beaten. He found from their evidence that salient points in the tes- tiEnony of Lon Robertson did not tally.
 He sent for the boy. who was brought to him yesterday, in the care of an officer. Lon broke down in the Judges office, and. in tears, declared that his testimony. when he told that Bud Goolsby had threatened him, was not true.
 EEa confessed that Tobe Mitchell had threatened to kill him. if he did not speak against the Goolsbys; that Mitchell had given him @ watch, and had promised him $25 if he would say that tie Goolsbys had threatened him.
 The boy. only 13 years old. and un- able to read or write, was treated Kindly by Judge Jones and by the oficers who had him in their care. He was greatly conscience-smitten after his confession, and sobbed out that he wanted to give away the watch; that he did not want to have another thing to do with <he matter; that he wanted Go go home and be good.
 There is yet some doubt of the boys stoay. because of his widely different statsments on the stand and in the Judges chamber, but it may be that an snvestfgation will be made of the very serious charge of tampering with United f5tas&aa rz4fTaeseas
