The judgment ‍‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‍in this case must be affirmed, under the rule of practice acted on by this ‍‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‍court in the case of Gillespie v. Gillespie, 28 Mo. 598. The evidence, is conflicting, and ‍‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‍indeed the decision of the case depends entirely upon the credibility of the witnesses — ‍‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‍a matter in which this court must necessarily defer to the opinion of the court ‍‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‍which granted the divorce.
