Of course it is not sufficient that the facts charged constitute a crime only in the foreign jurisdiction, for we do not undertake to enforce the laws of other states. The offense in its completed form must also be a crime under the laws of this state. People v. Botkin, 132 Cal. 231, 64 Pac. 286, 84 Am. St. Rep. 39.
