““. . . The petition for a writ of error coram nobis is heard by the court without a jury, the' same as a motion for a new trial is heard. Counter affidavits may be filed and the strict rule of excluding hearsay evidence is not adhered to so closely as in the trial of a cause. 22 Corpus Juris 185. if it be granted that some of the statements in the affidavits were hearsay, this alone would not be reversible error if such statements were not harmful to the appellants and the finding of the court did not depend on the incompetent evidence for its support.””

Scott““As to the first assignment, we think no error was committed by the court in overruling the petition for the return of appellants to testify.
