When on the trial of an indictment for rape the State depended for a conviction solely upon the evidence of the alleged victim of the crime, and there was evidence strongly tending to impeach her and no evidence whatever of any facts or circumstances in any manner tending to corroborate her, it was erroneous to charge upon the subject of corroboration. Such an error in- such a case requires the granting of a new trial. Judgment reversed.
All the Justices concurring.
