    Next day the man visited the bank, and said that he had been robbed. "I told you so" said the bankman. The man looked out through the window, and saw Freney outside. He was astonished and said aloud, "I could swear that he is the man who robbed me last night," and he pointed towards Freney. Freney heard him and he walked into the bank.
