Whether an extraordinary motion for a new trial, based upon the ground of newly discovered testimony, should be granted or refused rests largely in the sound discretion of the trial court; and this court is not inclined to interfere with the exercise of that discretion, where the newly discovered evidence is largely, if not entirely, im-. peaching and cumulative in character. Rogers v. State, 129 Ga. 589 (59 S. E. 288).

Judgment affirmed.

Wade, 0. J., and Luhe, J., concur.
