1. ““This court is only allowed to review an order denying a challenge to a juror upon the ground of actual bias when the evidence upon the examination of the juror is so opposed to the decision of ihe trial court that the question becomes one of law, for it is only upon questions of law that this court has appellate jurisdiction. * * * The evidence of each juror was contradictory in itself. It was subject to more than one construction. A finding by the court either way upon the challenge would have support in the evidence, and under such circumstances the trial court is 1he final arbiter of the question; for under such conditions the question presented to this court by the appeal is one of fact, and our power to hear and determine is limited to appeals upon questions of law alone.””
