Weatherby v. The State.
Decided July 11, 1922.
Indictment for manufacture of liquor; from Haralson superior court — Judge Irwin. April 5, 1922.
Griffith & Matthews, for plaintiff in error.
J. R. Hutcheson, solicitor-general, contra.

Opinion:
Broyles, C. J.
1. The alleged newly discovered evidence upon which the amendment to the motion for a new trial was based is merely cumulative and impeaching in character, and is not such evidence as would probably cause a different verdict upon another trial of the case.
2. The verdict was amply authorized by the evidence, and the court did not err in refusing to grant a new trial.
Judgment, affirmed.
Luke and Bloodworth, concur.
