Mosley v. State

GARDNER Chief Justice.

The appeal- is from a conviction for the offense of rape with penalty fixed at imprisonment for a period of twenty-five years. Defendant, a young man about twenty-three years of age,- met the prosecutrix, a young woman nineteen years of age, on one Sunday night in Eutaw at what is known as the Snack Shack Inn, where there was eating, drinking and dancing. Neither defendant nor the young woman, however, were shown to have been engaged in drinking or dancing, though they appear to have been eating together with others at the same table.
