1Opinion of the CourtAnderson, J.

Appellant was indicted and convicted in the circuit court of Alcorn county of an attempt to rape Gladys King, and sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of five years. Prom that judgment he prosecutes this appeal.

Appellant contends that he was entitled to a directed verdict on the ground that the evidence was insufficient to sustain the conviction. It would answer no good purpose to set out the evidence upon which the conviction was had; it was amply sufficient to sustain the charge. In addition to the testimony of the injured female, there was other evidence strongly corroborating hers.
