Subornation of perjury is the offense of procuring another to take such false oath as constitutes perjury in the principal.50

In order to convict one of subornation of perjury it must appear that the accused induced another to commit perjury, knowing that the other person as well as himself was aware of the falsity of the testimony; they both must know it was false.51
