His testimony in this respect was material to the issue then being tried. He insists even now it is a case of mistaken identity. Hence his trial on the charge of perjury centered around the issue of identity and that issue has been resolved against him.\nThe charge of the court construed in the light of the admissions made by defendant is without error. Defendant\u2019s other exceptions fail to disclose cause for disturbing the verdict. The judgment must stand.\nNo error.",
