No. 21,195.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nError to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. John R. Cavebly, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1915.\nReversed and remanded.\nOpinion filed December 21, 1915.\nStatement of the Case.\nProsecution by the People of the State of Illinois against E. Robinson, defendant, in the Municipal Court of Chicago, charging defendant with obtaining money by false pretenses. The complaint charged that defendant \u201cdid unlawfully and fraudulently with intent to cheat and defraud by certain false representations or pretenses, obtain from one G-us Schreiber the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100) lawful money,\u201d' etc. To reverse a judgment of conviction, defendant prosecutes this writ of error.\nBenjamin E. Cohen, for plaintiff in error.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. False pretenses, \u00a7 28 \u2014when information insufficient. In a prosecution charging defendant with money by false representations or pretenses, an information wherein it is not alleged that such representations were made, the nature of them, that defendant knew they were false, and that the person defrauded believed them to be true, or wherein all such facts are included in or expressly implied from other averments in the information, is fatally defective for the reason that all such facts are essential elements of the offense charged.\n2. False pretenses, \u00a7 28 \u2014when information insufficient. An information under section 6. of division 11 of the Criminal Code (J. & A. U 4105), charging that defendant \u201cdid unlawfully and fraudulently with intent to cheat and defraud\u201d obtain money from a person named, by false representations, held fatally defective in that such complaint omitted the word \u201cknowingly\u201d as provided by the statute, and used no equivalent word therefor, the words of the information being insufficient to allege scienter.\nMaclay Hoyne, for defendant in error; Edward E. Wilson, of counsel.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
