Check Treatment

The ingredients of the offense here charged have been so often stated by this court as not to require restatement here. If the defendant at the time testified to assaulted the girl, Ida Allen, with the intent forcibly to ravish her, he would be guilty as charged. That he assaulted the girl is well established by the evidence. Was it with the intent and would he have accomplished his purpose but for her resistance or outside interference? This was a question for the jury under the evidence, and hence the court did not err in refusing the general charge.

The remark of the solicitor to which exception was reserved does not come within the class of argument condemned by this court as being erroneous and unfair. The foregoing is an answer to the brief filed by counsel, but we have gone further and examined each exception taken, and in the rulings of the court find no prejudicial error.

There is no error in the record, and judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
