The opinion of the court was delivered by Raymond R. Gonzales was convicted by a jury of the offense of rape (K.S.A. 21-3502 [a]). His motion for new trial was denied, he was sentenced and now appeals. His points on appeal involve the admission of evidence of other offenses committed by him and the instructions relating thereto. The state's evidence showed the following: On the evening of March 16, 1974, the prosecutrix, Ms. R, her male companion Rodriquez and appellant drove in an automobile from Scott City to Leoti to locate another female. After considerable searching in and around Leoti they were unable to find her and the trio commenced the return trip to Scott City. Ms. R was seated between the driver Rodriquez and appellant. An argument developed between Rodriquez and appellant concerning advances appellant was making toward Ms. R during the trip. Upon Rodriquez' instructions Ms. R got into the back seat of the vehicle. As the group neared Scott City appellant leaped into the back seat and held an object against the neck of Ms. R. Rodriquez stopped the car and ran into a field. Appellant left the car and engaged in conversation with Rodriquez. Rodriquez refused to return to the car. Appellant reentered it and drove away.
