There was a conflict in the testimony.- The testimony on -the part of the State, if true, showed enough to sustain the verdict, whilst that offered on the part of the defendant tended strongly to prove a good defense.
There was testimony offered to impeach the statements of the prosecuting witness, and some in her support.
