Text: As Judge McWilliams put it for the Court in Blank v. Dubin, 258 Md. 678, 267 A.2d 165 (1970), in speaking of a trial judge in a non-jury case: He was the trier of facts; he saw the witnesses; he heard them testify. Rule 886 a requires us to give `due regard' to his `opportunity    to judge    [their] credibility.' We cannot say his election to believe Dubin was clearly erroneous. Styka v. Styka, 257 Md. 464 (1970). Id. at 680-81. A careful review of the record persuades us that there was evidence from which Judge Turner could properly have made the findings he made. Accordingly, there was no error.
