““ * * * that such act of perjury has been established to your satisfaction beyond a reasonable doubt by more than one witness, or that the testimony of such witness has been corroborated upon that point by other facts and circumstances proved on the trial. In other words, the direct evidence of one witness alone is not sufficient to convict of the crime of perjury, unless corroborated by other facts and circumstances proved on the trial.’”
