<p>The evidence does not support the verdict.</p>

Relies on Rushton v. State · Hunter v. State · Clark v. State

Judgment reversed · Decided 1915-06-18

Per Curiam.

¶1A careful reading of the testimony convinces us that the crime of assault with intent to rape, of which the-plaintff in error was convicted, has not been made out.

¶2We shall not set out this testimony. We think our prior decisions in Rushton v. State, 58 Fla. 94, 50 South. Rep. 486; Clark v. State, 56 Fla. 46, 47 South. Rep. 481, and Hunter v. State, 29 Fla. 486, 10 South. Rep. 730, lead us to a reversal of this judgment.

¶3Judgment reversed.

¶4Taylor, C. J., and Cockrell, Whitfield and Ellis, JJ., concur.

¶5Shackleford, J., dissents.
