his sister of eleven years, with a playmate of eight years, came and
told him how some unknown man had attempted to do them violence. L.
led the children to a deserted house and attempted coitus with the
younger child, but let her go because no emission occurred, and
because the child cried out. On the way home he promised to marry her
if she would not say anything. At the trial he thought that by
marriage he could right the wrong he had done.[119]
