Defendant appeals his conviction by a jury of assault with intent to commit rape. CLS 1961, § 750.85 (Stat Ann 1962 Rev § 28.280).

Defendant’s sole contention on appeal is that the trial court abused its discretion in failing to grant defendant a continuance in order that another attempt might be made to locate 2 proposed witnesses for the defense. The trial court made diligent inquiry on the record to determine what steps had been taken to find the 2 sought-after witnesses, and what reasonable possibility there was that they might be located. The trial court concluded the defense counsel had failed to make a sufficient showing that *752the witnesses conld be located and produced at trial within the foreseeable future.

We find no abuse of discretion in the trial court’s ruling.

Affirmed.
