“The word ‘embracery’ … has tended to disappear. It is included in some of the codes but the tendency has been to divide this common-law offense into two parts, placing that which is appropriate thereto in sections on bribery and the remainder in provisions dealing with obstruction of justice.” Rollin M. Perkins & Ronald N. Boyce, Criminal Law 552 (3d ed. 1982).
