        "text": "Mr. Justice Kiley\ndelivered the opinion of the court.\nThis is a writ of error to review the conviction of a defendant prosecuted under a faulty information and sentenced under the wrong statute. The State has confessed error in the sentencing, but seeks to sustain the information and asks for remandment for proper sentence.\nThe information alleges a violation of par. 327 of the Criminal Code [chap. 38, Ill. Rev. Stat. (1953)] [Jones Ill. Stats. Ann. 37.257] in that defendant did unlawfully \u201cdirect, transport . . . persons . . .\u201d to a house kept for \u201cprostitution . . .\u201d with knowledge of the character of \u201cthe persons house of plate (sic).\u201d The statute provides: \u201cIf any one shall, through invitation or device, prevail on any person to visit any room, building . . . kept for . . . prostitution . . . .\u201d\nIt is plain that the information does not charge defendant with prevailing upon anyone to visit the room. Our courts have not construed this statute, but a similar statute has been construed in California.\nThere it was held that essential elements of the crime described are that the defendant \u201cprevail on\u201d persons to \u201cvisit\u201d the room. People v. Chase, 117 Cal. App. Supp. 775, 1 P.2d 60; Ex parte Chase, 119 Cal. App. 432, 6 P.2d 577. The charge against defendant is consistent with merely telling a person whose mind is made up where the house is; or, the less likely event, transporting a sightseer who merely wants to see where the house is. The intent of the legislature is to prevent prostitution, fornication and gambling. We think the California decisions correctly construe the statute.\nSince the elements of the crime were not alleged, the information was void. People v. Sowrd, 370 Ill. 140.\nFor the reasons given the judgment is reversed.\nJudgment reversed.\nFeinberg, P. J. and Lews, J., concur.",
