Per Curiam.

The affidavits proving or tending to prove that contradictory statements were ‍​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‍made by the witness Woodbury, while not sufficient in themselves to require a new trial, were, none the less, of such importance ‍​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‍that the cause of justice would be promoted by causing Woodbury to be produced as a witness and subjected to the test of ‍​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‍cross-examination.

Following the practice in People v. Shilitano (215 N.
