Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Information — Assault with Intent to Commit Rape — Sufficient. An information for assault with intent to commit rape is sufficient without containing the word “assault” where it states acts constituting an assault followed by averments that they were done with intent to commit rape.</p> <p>2. Criminal Trial — Conduct of Attorney. Statements in the argument of a prosecuting attorney directing the special attention of the jury to an instruction relative to the defendant’s failure to testify considered and criticised, but held in view of all the evidence not to justify a reversal.</p>
