                                  CHAPTER 45
                        PROCEEDINGS AGAINST FUGITIVES
                                 FROM JUSTICE
    19-4503.  FORM OF DEMAND. No demand for the extradition of a person
charged with crime in another state shall be recognized by the governor unless
in writing and accompanied by a copy of an indictment found or by an
information supported by affidavit in the state having jurisdiction of the
crime, or by a copy of an affidavit made before a magistrate there, together
with a copy of any warrant which was issued thereon. The indictment,
information, or affidavit made before the magistrate must substantially charge
the person demanded with having committed a crime under the law of that state;
and the copy must be authenticated by the executive authority making the
demand, which shall be prima facie evidence of its truth.
