1. ““When the deputy commissioner made his findings of fact he was confronted with this conflicting evidence which as a whole is about as contradictory as comes before us. But the Deputy Commissioner, not this Court, must resolve such conflicts, and his findings will be sustained if there is ‘competent, substantial evidence, which accords with logic and reason, to sustain them.’ United States Cas. Co. v. Maryland Cas. Co., Fla., 55 So.2d 741, 745 ; Town of Crescent City v. Green, Fla., 59 So.2d 1 . In the more recent case of Wilson v. McCoy Manufacturing Co., Fla., 69 So.2d 659, 665 , this Court held that it would determine whether or not the proceedings accord with the essential requirements of law and if found to meet that test it would determine whether or not there is ‘ “substantial competent evidence * * legally sufficient to support the findings * * ’ We further held in that case that we could not ‘gauge the “probative force of conflicting testimony” but [would] confine our examination to the nature of the evidence relied upon to sustain the order’.””
