Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

—Watson was convicted of the statutory offense of having carnal intercourse with an unmar*17ried female under the age of eighteen years and took writ of error.

As there is no evidence whatever that the female was unmarried, an essential element of the crime is not proven, therefore the judgment is reversed.

All concur.
