commission of the alleged crime, and that thereafter he fled from the state, and
accompanied by a copy of an indictment found or by 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 thereupon; or by a
copy of a judgment of conviction or of a sentence imposed in execution thereof, together
with a statement by the executive authority of the demanding state that the person claimed
has escaped from confinement or has broken the terms of his bail, probation or parole.
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;
