Fish, J.

¶1The evidence was sufficient to support the verdict; the alleged newly discovered evidence was either merely cumulative or impeaching; and even if the sentence imposed had been excessive, it would not have been a good ground for granting a new trial. Burgamy v. State, 114 Ga. 852.

¶2Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concurring, except Lumpkin, P. J., absent, and Candler, J., not presiding.
