Popis: We report evidence for the existence of a new meson, which we call the $M(953)$, with mass 953 \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{} 2 MeV and width 10 MeV, produced in the final state ${K}^{\ensuremath{-}}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}p{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{M}^{0}$ at incident momenta 3.9 and $4.6\frac{\mathrm{GeV}}{c}$. These results are based primarily on a signal of 68 \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{} 12 events in the decay mode $M\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ where the $\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}$ system does not show a ${\ensuremath{\rho}}^{0}$ signal, in sharp distinction to the ${\ensuremath{\rho}}^{0}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ decay mode of the ${\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath{'}}(958)$.
