2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“In the instant case, extrinsic evidence showed when, where, and under what circumstances the negative (and the enlargement thereof) was taken, and that it accurately portrays the subjects illustrated; and the trial judge, obviously, decided it was sufficiently accurate to be helpful to him in deciding the case.
