    Statement of the Case.
    Prosecution "by the People of the State of Illinois, plaintiff, against William De Joy, defendant, for pandering. From a judgment of guilty, defendant brings error.
    Reynolds, Macy & Clarke, for plaintiff in error.
    Maclay Hoyne, for defendant in error; Edward E. Wilson, of counsel.
    
      Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Criminal law, § 409
      
      —when question of sufficiency of information may not he raised on appeal. Where defendant’s attorney goes to trial without objection to the information and it is suggested that the information is insufficient in that it charges several offenses in the alternative and does not describe the place of the offense, and such defects do not go to the question of guilt or innocence, it is too late to object to them in the Appellate Court.
    2. Prostitution, § 3a*—when information for pandering charges only one offense. The words “inducing” and “persuading” in an information for pandering are practically synonymous and charge only one offense. •
    3. Prostitution, § 3a*—what is sufficient description of place in information for pandering. A charge that the offense of pandering happened in the City of Chicago, at 671 Milwaukee avenue, is sufficient description of the place of the offense.
    4. Criminal law, § 497*—when execution of written jury toaiver presumed on appeal. Where the record in a criminal case recites the execution of a jury waiver in writing it imports verity in that regard, and a waiver in the record is not impaired as to its integrity because defendant signed by making his mark.
