Folmar v. State
217 Ala. 410
Ala.
1928
Check Treatment

The Court of Appeals held that the defendant did not bring himself within the rule so as to entitle him to a new trial because of newly discovered evidence, for the reason that he did not allege or prove that said evidence was unknown to him at the time of the trial. This fact is, of course, essential, and the finding of same by the Court of Appeals will not be considered or disturbed by this court. Postal Telegraph Co. v. Minderhout, 195 Ala. 420, 71 So. 91.

The only other complaint against the holding of the Court of Appeals relates to a point which seems not to have been treated in the opinion of the said court. If the record presents point, it would, of course, be the duty of the Court of Appeals, under the statute, to consider same; but we only review said court upon questions decided, and not ones that are not treated.

The writ is denied.
