1. “"The question at issue in the present case is whether there was carnal knowledge of the prosecutrix by the appellant without her consent. Upon such an issue experience demonstrates that the evidence of the prosecutrix demands careful scrutiny. Unexplained failure to make outcry and delay in making complaint tend to show consent. The absence of visible evidence of injury to the prosecutrix by the alleged assailant or the spoiling or disarray of her garments are of probative value; and where the concealment of the alleged transaction extends to a time when circumstances render it impossible to hide it longer, its potency as against the idea of force is enhanced. See Ruling Case Law, vol. 22, p. 1187, § 19; also, page 1181, § 12; Brown v. State, 127 Wis. 193 , 106 N. W. 536 . 7 Ann. Case. 258; Undersill’s Crim. Ev. (3d Ed.) p. 847, § 614.””
