III. In the closing argument of the case to the jury, Judge Crozier, of counsel for the state, used the following language: “It is said here that the idea of rape would never have been1 thought of, if it had1 not been for some hounds in Marion county, who got this up because they did not like French, and I state to you that the record in the case -shows- that the transaction occurred on -the sixth day of June, and this prosecution was commenced on the seventh day of June, so that there was not much time for them to have manufactured the case.” The language was objected to at the time, “because the information was not introduced in evidence.” The abstract shows no action of the court whatever as to the objection. We are not able to say but that the statement, in argument, had full support in the record, in some ways, for, as has been before -said, the abstract is not-one of all the evidence. The judgment is affirmed.
