Syllabus

<p>Criminal Law — Arrest oe Judgment — Grounds — Insufficiency of Information. A motion in arrest of judgment on account of insufficiency of the information may he made after trial, although there was no demurrer to- the information, in view of Rem. & Bal. Code, § 2183, authorizing a motion in arrest of judgment on the ground that the facts stated in the information do not constitute a crime.</p> <p>Sodomy — -“Attempt”—Information—Sufficiency. Since an “attempt” to commit sodomy does not necessarily imply a physical act and is punishable whether by assault or solicitation, an information charging an attempt to commit sodomy is insufficient where it does not set forth the acts constituting the crime so that the accused may know the charge he is called upon to meet.</p>
