[No. 17769.
    Department One.
    March 8, 1923.]
    The State of Washington, Respondent, v. Frank A. Johnson, Appellant. 
    
    Appeal from a judgment of the superior court for King county, Tallman, J., entered June 3, 1922, upon a trial and conviction of rape.
    Reversed.
    
      H. S. Frye, for appellant.
    
      Malcolm Douglas and Bert C. Ross, for respondent.
    
      
       Reported in 213 Pac. 1119.
    
   Per Curiam.

— The defendant was charged with the crime of having carnal knowledge of a female child under the age of eighteen years. He has appealed from the judgment based upon a verdict of the jury finding him guilty as charged.

It could not possibly serve any useful purpose for us to make a recitation of the facts. Suffice it to say that a very careful consideration of the record convinces us that the trial court should have granted appellant’s motion for a new trial.

The judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded for a new trial.
