Carlisle v. State

Conviction in district court of Mills county of assault to rape; punishment, 5 years in the penitentiary.

There are six bills of exception and in their discussion will appear enough of the facts. The indictment is not subject to the attack made upon it; viz., that it stated the age of the assaulted female as being under 15 years, appellant contending that the allegation should have been under 18 years. This is settled against appellant in the cases of Young v. State, 89 Tex. Cr. R. 230, 230 S. W. 416, and Tinker v. State, 95 Tex. Cr. R. 143, 253 S. W. 531.
