2. Here the evidence authorized a finding that there was a free and voluntary confession; and the confession was corroborated, not only by proof of the corpus delicti, but also by other circumstances among which was the identification, by the victim of the assault with intent to rape, of the defendant as the person who committed the same upon her.
