Before:
Oubiam

This was a motion which was refused by the following order of

Pee Oubiam.

The defendant ‍‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‍in this case having been convicted of murder, and having perfected his appeal from the judgment of the Circuit Court, now moves to suspend the appeal ‍‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‍for the purpose of enabling him to move for a new trial in the Circuit Court upon the ground of after-discovered evidence. Under the well settled practice ‍‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‍of this court, it is necessary that the appellant should make such a prima facie showing as would satisfy this court that this was a proper case for the ‍‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‍granting of the motion submitted by the appellant. After a careful consideration of the affidavits upon which the motion is made, we cannot say that such ‍‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‍a showing has been made. It is, therefore, ordered, that the motion be refused.
