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

Opinion:
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.
