10660.
    Oglesbee v. The State.
    Decided October 14, 1919.
    Conviction of manslaughter; from Tattnall superior court— Judge Sheppard. April 29, 1919.
    
      H. II. Elders, Oliver & Oliver, for plaintiff in error.
    
      J. Saxton Daniel, solicitor-general, contra.
   Broyles, G. J.

1. The alleged newly discovered evidence upon which the special ground of the motion for a new trial was based is both cumulative and impeaching in its character, and is not such evidence as would probably produce a different result if a new trial were granted.

2. There was ample evidence to authorize the verdict, and the court did not err in overruling the motion for a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

Luke and Bloodworth, JJ., concur.
