Answer:

If only one of these statements is true, #17 robbed the bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

1st Scenario: #26 tells the truth

If #26 is telling the truth, that means #14 is guilty and, consequently, lying. However, that would also mean that #17 is telling the truth and then more than one statement would be true.

2nd Scenario: #17 tells the truth

If #17 is telling the truth, #17 is innocent, but then again either #26 or #14 are lying and two statements would be true.

3rd Scenario: #14 tells the truth

If #14 is telling the truth, #14 is innocent and, consequently, #26 is lying. That leaves us with #17 claiming innocence, but since only #14 can be telling the truth, #17 is lying and robbed the bank.
