Lead Opinion

The evidence in this case has been read and though in some of its aspects it is conflicting, sufficient proof appears to warrant a verdict of guilty.

The motion for new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence was properly denied because substantiated only by the affidavit of defendant. Jones v. State, 35 Fla. 289, 17 South. Rep. 284; Johnson v. State, 135 Fla. 65, 184 South. Rep. 653.

The judgment is affirmed.
