1Opinion of the CourtSullivan, C. J.
The defendant was indicted and convicted of the crime of statutory rape and sentenced to an indeterminate term of imprisonment of from five to ten years in the state penitentiary. A motion for a new trial was denied and this appeal is from the judgment and order denying a new trial.
Fifteen errors are assigned which go to the admission of certain evidence, the refusal of the court to give certain requested instructions, and in permitting the prosecuting attorney to make certain statements during his argument to the jury, the insufficiency of the evidence, and the impeachment of the prosecutrix.
