1Opinion of the Court
Adams, Oh. J.
The evidence shows beyond controversy that the prosecutrix, Ohloe Rhodes, while traveling along the highway, in company with her sister and another girl, was approached by the defendant, a stranger to all of them, knd was ashed by him to be allowed to have sexual intercourse with her; that she promptly refused him; and that thereupon he assaulted her, threw her down in the road, and attempted to accomplish his purpose, and desisted only when the other girls approached, and the prosecutrix’s resistance was such as to render it evident that his efforts would be ineffectual.
