Abstract
"The law in the case of rape is that the woman must resist with all of her power and make an outcry. The evidence of Mrs. Nestelle was to the effect that when she went into Jennings' room to make his bed he assaulted her. She made no outcry and when she went into the kitchen immediately after she said nothing to the two women who were there. The evidence developed that she continued to harbor the defendant in her house, although he had afflicted her with a loathsome disease, made his bed as usual, accompanied him to church and in horseback riding and invited him to dinner after the return of her husband from San Francisco. Nothing was said about the rape until seventeen days after Jennings had left when Nestelle accused his wife of imparting the disease to him."
