The defendant was convicted of murder, and excepted to the overruling ‍‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‍of his motion for a new trial. The motion contained the general grounds and several special grounds based upon alleged newly discovered ‍‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‍evidence; but it was stated in the bill of exceptions and also in the brief filed in support thereof that the general grounds ‍‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‍were expressly abandoned in the trial court. It does not appeaT that the judge abused’ his discretion in refusing to grant a ‍‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‍new trial upon the grounds relating to the alleged newly discovered evidence. No other question being presented, the judgment must be affirmed.
