Rereabins denied April 20, 1917.

Opinion:
Fish, O. J.
1. Even if proper diligence were shown, the alleged newly discovered evidence was merely impeaching and cumulative, and was not of such character as would likely produce a different result on another trial.
2. - The evidence was sufficient to support the verdict. None of the grounds of the motion for new trial show cause for a reversal.
Judgment affirmed.
