EVIDENCE is TOO FLIMsY.
The following is the opinion Of
Judge Henderson, Of the Court Of
Criminal Appeals at Tyler, in the
case of Gus. Lawrence, appealed
from Bexar county, convicted Of
rape, and assessed ninety-nine
years in the penitentiary:
The state, in this case has failed
to prove that the prosecutrix was
under the age of consent. The
burden of proof rests upon the
state to prove this. The evidence is
Of entirely too flimsy character to
support the conviction. The judg-
ment is reversed and the cause re-
manded."
