Most-quoted passages

““ ‘In considering the affidavits used upon the said motion this court is bound by the same rule that controls where oral testimony is presented for review. “If there is any conflict in the affidavits, those in favor of the prevailing party must be taken as true, and the facts stated therein must be considered established.” (McKenzie v. Barling, 101 Cal. 462 [ 36 Pac. 8 ] ; Doak v. Bruson, 132 Cal. 18 [ 91 Pac. 1001 ] ; Henderson v. Cohen, 10 Cal. App. 585 [ 102 Pac. 826 ].)’ (Sourbis v. Rhoads, 50 Cal. App. 98, 100 [ 194 Pac. 521 ] ; see, also, Smilie v. Smilie, 24 Cal. App. 420, 424 [ 141 Pac. 829 ].) ””
