1. “One seeking relief on motion for new trial on the grounds of newly discovered evidence has the burden of establishing that his failure to produce such evidence at the trial was not due to lack of diligence on his part. Failure to make inquiry of persons likely to know the facts constitutes lack of diligence... . There must be a showing that the party with reasonable diligence could not have discovered the evidence in time to produce it at the trial of the case... . [T]he request is discretionary with the court and its denial of the request will not be disturbed in the absence of an abuse of discretion.”
