20773.
    Shepherd v. The State.
    Decided November 11, 1930.
    
      William B. Kent, for plaintiff in error.
    
      W. B. Gibbs, solicitor-general, contra.
   Broyles, C. J.

1. The record fails to show an abuse of discretion on the part of the trial judge in denying the defendant’s motion for a continuance of the case.

2. The verdict was amply authorized by the evidence, and the grounds of the motion for a new trial based upon alleged newly discovered evidence were properly overruled, as the evidence was cumulative and impeaching in its nature. The refusal to grant a new trial was not error.

Judgment affirmed.

Luke amd Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
