      Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Appeal and error, § 1475
      
      —when admission of incompetent hearsay evidence harmless error. Admission of hearsay evidence in an action for money loaned, though incompetent, being merely cumulative of other evidence which the trial court believed, held insufficient to justify a reversal.
    2. Appeal and error, § 1414*—when findings of trial court not disturbed. Where the record on appeal presents merely a question of credibility of witnesses and the story accepted by the trial court is not improbable, its findings will not usually be disturbed.
