By the WHOLE COURT.

O’NIELL, C. J.

This case was remanded to the ‍‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‍district court for a trial and determination of the question whether certain alleged newly discovered evidence, referred to in a ‍‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‍motion for a new trial, was in fact newly discovered. 153 La. 414, 96 South. 15. After hearing testimony on the subject, ‍‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‍the district court ruled that the alleged newly discovered evidence was not newly discovered. The court, therefore, overruled the motion ‍‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‍for a new trial and resentenced the defendants. The record does not contain a bill of exceptions to the ruling, ‍‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‍and there is no apparent error.

The verdict and sentence are affirmed.
