On appeal from an order made on affidavits involving a decision of a question of fact, the appellate court stated in Fuller v. Lindenbaum, supra, 29 Cal.App.2d at page 230, 84 P.2d at page 157, that '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.'

Although Section 2009 of the Code of Civil Procedure permits the use of affidavits on motions, other evidence is also admissible. Perez v. Perez, 111 Cal.App.2d 827, 829, 245 P.2d 344.
