PER CURIAM.
The plaintiff in error was convicted in the criminal court of Cook county of rape, and sentenced to the penitentiary for two years.
The complaining witness, Mamie Hanson, a girl 15 years old, testified that she was a stenographer employed by plaintiff in error at his paint store, 2007 North Halsted [241 Ill. 395]street, Chicago, Ill., the last two weeks of December, 1908; that thereafter, on January 9, 1909, she asked the plaintiff in error, over the telephone, for employment, and was told that he had some contracts to write; that she thereupon called at his place of business about 5 o'clock p. m. on that date, and worked for him an hour, and also the next day and the following Monday, January 11th, the date on which the assault is alleged to have

Plaintiff in error testified that he was 30 years of age, married, and was a painting contractor.
