(1) The information, which was duly verified, is in proper form and contains the necessary averments. It states the court and the trial of the cause in which the perjury is alleged to have been committed; the nature of the action then pending; the fact that defendant was sworn by an officer duly authorized the substance of his evidence; and the further allegation that the same was false, and that defendant knew at the time that the same was false.
