No uniform answer is possible under existing statutes. Under some of the provisions bribery is one offense and references to (1) giving or offering a bribe, or (2) to receiving or soliciting a bribe, are merely factual statements in regard to the guilt of one party or the other. Under another plan 'bribery' is employed as a generic term to cover two different offenses: (1) giving or offering a bribe, and (2) receiving or soliciting a bribe. A third plan uses the word 'bribery' to indicate the offense of the briber and 'receiving a bribe' for the other side of the transaction." Rollin M. Perkins & Ronald N. Boyce, Cr
