“(1) ... the evidence is such as will probably change the result if a new trial is granted, (2) ... it has been discovered since the trial, (3) ... it could not have been discovered before the trial by the exercise of due diligence, (4)... it is material to the issue, and (5)... it is not merely cumulative or impeaching.”
