Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion

By the Court:

The indictment we think good in substance, though not so well drawn as to become a valuable precedent in criminal pleading. But the evidence falls wholly short of establishing the crime charged upon the defendant. There was no resistance upon the part of the woman, or if there was any, it was of such equivocal character as to fairly suggest actual consent, or at most not a very decided opposition upon her part.

Judgment reversed and cause remanded for new trial.
