1. ““It is settled by many decisions of this court that a defendant may be convicted of rape upon the uncorroborated testimony of the woman. In a prosecution for rape by force overcoming resistance upon a woman above the age of consent, where the corroboration of the use of force is extremely slight and the testimony of the prose-cutrix somewhat inconsistent and unsubstantial, this court will scrutinize the record with care. The age, surroundings, circumstances, situation, and conduct of the parties will be considered. Where no threats nor use of force are made to intimidate the female, where she is in easy call of others, if an outcry is made, and none is made, and no complaint is made for several hours, it appears improbable that any rape occurred, but rather that the intercourse was voluntary.
