A RAPE LAW,

Representative Owsley yesterday morn
ing in the House introduced bill dehn-
ing the offense of unlawful carnal inter-
course and affixing penalty thereto
and providing for the conviction there,
of in certain cases. The bill
provides first that unlawful in
tercourse is the carnal knowledge of
a female not less than II nor more than
10 years of age, with her consent, such fe-
male being other than the wife of the
person having such intercourse.
Second-Penetration only is necessary
to be proved upon trial for unlawful inter
course.
Third-No person under the age of IA
years at the time the offense is charged
to have been committed can be convicted
of unlawful intercourse.
Fourth-Whoever shall be guilty of I'M
lawful intercourse as above defined, shall
be punished by a fine of not less than $25
or more than $1,000 or Imprisonment in the
county Jail not less than one month nor
more than two years or by both such fine
and Imprisonment.
Fifth-If it appears on the trial of an
indictment for rape that the crime OF
rape was not committed, but that the de-
PENDANT has committed the offense of I'M
lawful intercourse, the jury may find him
guilty of such offense and afix the pun
ishment as above prescribed.
