Description
The respondents appeal from convictions of the crime of rape and also present exceptions to certain rulings of the presiding Justice. The Appeals The State contended that the crime was committed during the evening of February 22, 1942, in the town of Norway in Oxford County. Its testimony in support of the charge came almost wholly from Violet L. Poland, eighteen years old. According to her story she and her friend, Mr. Smith (not the respondent), were at Mac's Roller Skating Pavilion in Oxford. About nine o'clock in the evening she went across the road to call upon her friend, Ann Mayberry. She said: ""And when I came out of her house there was a car parked beside the road, and, as I went around the car, the man went ahead and grabbed me and put me in the car. . . . He put his hand over my mouth and pushed me in the car."" She said there was another man in the car (respondent Smith) who was in the driver's seat. She had never seen either of them before. They had a gallon of old cider in the car, a part of which had been drunk, and on their way to Norway they continued to drink and tried to get her to drink with them. Before reaching Norway she testified that respondent Poirier ""forced"" her ""by the cement bridge,"" that they then continued on to a vacant space ""behind Jo's restaurant, in Norway,"" where she testified, ""They both forced me."" Later in the evening, she said, they took her ""up by South Paris, in the woods there somewhere, on a cross road,"" where Poirier forced her again. They finally left her on Pigeon Hill in Oxford and from there she walked home, a distance of two miles. Upon arrival she immediately got in touch with State Trooper Haskell, to whom she related what had taken place. She claimed injuries to her shoulder from being held ""against the door in the car"" and to her wrist, ""where they would hold on it so tight.""
