The appellant appeals from a conviction of forcible rape alleg'ed to have been committed on his daughter Eita Sneed, on or about September 2, 1928, in Pima county. No complaint was made against the appellant by the prosecutrix until early in March, 1931, about two years and six months after the alleged act. Appellant was informed against by the county attorney on March 4th, and was tried, beginning April 20, 1931, found guilty April 22d by a jury, and thereafter sentenced to serve a life term in the state prison.
