Head Matter:
Albert Overton v. The State.
No. 8659.
Delivered April 8, 1925.
Rape — Evidence Held Sufficient.
But one bill of exception appears in this record, and that complains of tbe insufficiency of the evidence. There was no defensive testimony introduced, and finding the evidence sufficient to sustain the judgment the cause is affirmed.
Appeal from the Criminal District Court of Travis County. Tried below before the Hon. Jas. R. Hamilton, Judge.
Appeal from a conviction of rape; penalty, five years in the penitentiary.
The opinion states the case.

Opinion:
LATTIMORE, Judge.
Appellant was convicted in the Criminal District Court of Travis county of rape, and his punishment fixed at five years in the penitentiary.
Winona Carrington testified that she was fourteen years old, and that appellant had carnally known her in Travis county within the period of limitation. She further testified that of this connection a child was born. The only evidence introduced in behalf of appellant was that his sister testified that he had never been convicted of a felony or charged with any offense prior to the instant charge. The facts seem sufficient to support the judgment.
But one bill of exceptions appears which was taken to the refusal of a new trial sought because of the lack of sufficient testimony. Same shows no error.
The judgment will be affirmed.
Affirmed.
