““As to the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the verdict of the jury, the testimony of the witnesses was heard by the jury. The jury had an opportunity of seeing them and observing their demeanor, on the stand, and it was their peculiar province to weigh their testimony and believe or disbelieve it. They believed the prosecutrix and did not’ believe the defendant’s witnesses. The verdict has. been approved also by the judge of the criminal court who also had the advantage of seeing the witnesses and observing their manner.””
