1. ““An assignment of error that the court erred in finding certain facts is not sufficient to raise the question of alleged error in admitting incompetent evidence to prove these facts. The only question which such an assignment raises is the sufficiency of the evidence to support the findings; and in determining this we cannot assume to separate the competent from the incompetent evidence, but must consider all of it as being in the case without objection, no error being here assigned in its admission.””
