"You say this is the man who entered the bank on the morning of last October 17?"
"Yes—yes, sir.... It is!"
Jake nodded understandingly.
"Suppose," he continued, "we look at it another way for a moment: Is the man who entered the bank on the morning of last October 17 the same man who now appears as defendant in this trial?"
The young woman bit her lip, smearing some of the lipstick on her large front teeth. She hesitated, thinking through the question, then nodded firmly.
"Yes—of course!"
"How do you know?"
"Why—he—he looks the same!"
"Exactly the same? I suggest you look him over carefully before you answer."
