No good purpose would be served by setting forth in detail the circumstances of such assault.\nDefendant testified and offered evidence tending to establish an alibi; and, on this appeal, he contends that the State\u2019s evidence was insufficient to identify defendant as the perpetrator of the crime.\nDefendant\u2019s said contention is plainly without merit. The State\u2019s evidence was amply sufficient to warrant a finding by the jury that defendant was the man who committed the alleged criminal assault. Apart from other evidence tending to identify defendant, a State\u2019s witness -testified that, in a conversation with defendant concerning the alleged criminal assault, defendant stated: \u201cWell, I did it; I am the one.\u201d\nNo error.\nPARKER, J., not sitting.",
