Abstract of the Decision.
1. Criminal law, § 371 —what constitutes a variance between information and judgment. Under an information charging that defendant, being the parent of a certain child, “did unlawfully, wilfully and knowingly encourage, aid, cause, abet, connive to the dependency and delinquency to said child, contrary to form of the statutes, etc, a judgment, based on a plea of guilty, reciting that “said defendant is guilty of contributing to the delinquency” of said child is erroneous as not responding to the averments of the information.
Error to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Rufus F. Robinson, Judge, presiding.
Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1913.
Reversed and remanded.
Opinion filed February 17, 1914.
