The defendant admits that he had intercourse, with the woman, but claims that it was in the latter part of July, 1922. Both the woman and the defendant are corroborated. The woman’s testimony shows a normal menstrual period commencing June 1, 1922, and lasting until June 6, 1922. The question of guilt was one of fact for the jury subject to the control of the trial court.
