Opinion of the Court
WALLER, Circuit Judge.

WALLER, Circuit Judge.

We are not triers of fact. The law, in its wisdom, does not authorize this, court to substitute the reactions as to the facts which it gains from a perusal of the cold, printed type for those of the lower court which saw and heard the witnesses, observed their demeanor on the stand, and thus was placed in far better position to know the true and false than this court; and where, as here, we cannot say that there was no substantial evidence upon which the verdict and judgment of the lower court was based, the verdict and judgment of the court below will not be disturbed.

Affirmed.
