November 23, 1955, defendant (appellant) was accused by information of the prosecuting attorney of the infamous crime against nature, alleged to have been committed in Ada County, State of Idaho, on the 1st day of January, 1955.

[78 Idaho 362] On November 29, 1955, the defendant appeared with his counsel. The information was read to defendant and a copy was given him. On defendant's motion further arraignment was continued to December 9th. On December 9th defendant and his counsel again appeared and upon request of defendant's counsel 'the court continued further hearing herein until' December 16, 1955. December 14, 1955, the prosecuting attorney, with defendant and his counsel, appeared before the court 'to plead to the information', and, upon arraignment by the court, the defendant pleaded guilty as charged. The prosecuting attorney made a statement for the information of the court, and counsel for defendant made a statement on his behalf. Nine witnesses were sworn and testified for the defendant. The court then continued 'further proceedings' until December 23, 1955.

December 23, 1955, the prosecutor, with the defendant and his counsel, appeared. Defendant's counsel moved that the record be extended to include a medical report submitted in writing by Dr. Dale Cornell, and a telegram from one McKee of Eugene, Oregon, offering employment to the defendant. Defendant's counsel also moved that the court withhold judgment on the ground that the defendant had received further

The court granted the motion to extend the record, and denied the motions to withhold judgment and grant probation. These denials are assigned as error.

From the clerk's transcript and the notice of appeal, it appears these motions were made...
