“". . . `If there is but a single act of force proved as an essential element of the crime of robbery, then such act of force cannot be availed of as constituting the separate crime of assault, but the rule is otherwise where the existence of the distinct elements as realities is established, as where the force relied on to establish assault occurred after the robbery had been accomplished.'"

We think under this section the substantive offense is the assault. The intent with which it was committed characterizes it, and determines its degree of criminality. . . . ” (Emphasis added.)”
