The witness did not reply to this question, and upon its being repeated, still preserved silence. Admonished by the judge, and ordered to reply, he said:
"Yes, I have attempted to embrace her."
"On more than one occasion."
"Only on one occasion."
"Did she permit the embrace?"
"No."
"She resisted you?"
"Yes."
"There must have been a struggle. Did she strike you?"
"She scratched my face."
