    Hutchins vs. The State of Georgia.
    1. The evidence in this case demanded the verdict.
    2. Where nearly six months elapsed between the time when it was charged that the crime was committed and the trial of the defendant therefor, that evidence of persons present at the time of the occurrence is discovered after the trial, furnishes no ground for new trial, in the absence of all explanation or reason for not producing such witnesses on the trial.
    3. Newly discovered evidence, to be a ground for a new trial, must be pertinent to the issue on trial.
    4. Where the discovery of a new witness is made a ground of a motion for new trial, it should be shown, not only who the new witness is, but where he resides, what is his character, and who are some of his associates, or the persons acquainted with him. 56 Ga., 403.
    Judgment affirmed.
    April 24, 1883.
   Craweord, Justice.
