Description
It appears from the evidence that the prosecuting witness, who was 13 years of age, awoke on the night of April 23, 1967 to find appellant standing nude by her bed. He raped her under the threat of using a knife which he held in his hand. Failing in his attempt to get her to agree not to tell, appellant struggled with the prosecutrix and inflicted cuts upon her with the knife. He then forced her out of the house and into his car. Finally the car became stuck in some mud along a rather deserted road. Appellant then raped her again. He forced the prosecuting witness out of the car and into a nearby woods. She insisted on being taken to the hospital. Appellant insisted that she make up a story that would conceal his identity. When they reached a spot in the woods where there was a tree cut down he stopped and said: "Diane, I hate to do this to you but I am not going back to prison no more and youre going . . ." Under threats of death she agreed to tell the story made up by the appellant.
