Opinion:
Mr. Presiding Justice Gary
delivered the opinion of the Court.
The controversy in this case is whether the appellee pit id the collector of the appellants for a car load of potatoes. Either the appellee or the collector perjured himself, and it is impossible that we should know which did. The court without a jury found for the appellee, whose version was in keeping with the fact that he had the collector's receipt, and such finding is conclusive.
The judgment is affirmed.
