Ragsdale v. The State.
Decided May 9, 1922.
Conviction of manslaughter; from Fulton superior court — Judge Humphries. January 14, 1922.
Harwell, Fairman & Barrett, Frank A. Hooper & Son, for plaintiff in error.
John A. Boykin, solicitor-general, E. A. Stephens, contra.

Opinion:
Luke, J.
Ragsdale was convicted' of voluntary manslaughter. He made a motion for a new trial upon the usual general grounds and upon the ground of newly discovered evidence. The evidence authorized the conviction. As to the ground of newly discovered evidence a counter-showing was made by the State. Upon a careful examination of the record this court cannot say that it was error to overrule the motion for a new trial. The newly discovered evidence was not, in our opinion, such as would likely produce a different result upon another trial.
Judgment affirmed.
Broyles, C. J., and Bloodworth, J., concur.
