Opinion
March Term, 1901.
Judgment and conviction affirmed. Held, First. That the crime of rape may be shown by circumstantial evidence the same as any other fact. Second, That the facts and circumstances disclosed by the evidence in this case fully justified the jury in rendering the verdict of guilty as charged in the indictment; and, third. That none of the exceptions to the admission or exclusion of evidence present such error as, under the circumstances of this case, require a reversal of the judgment and conviction. All concurred, except Laughlin, J., who dissented, upon the ground that under the authority of People v. Kennedy ( 164 N.Y. 449) the exceptions to the reception of evidence as to the conversation between complainant and the police officers present reversible error.
