                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

FORM OF DEMAND (§ 19.2-87)

No demand for the extradition of a person charged with, or convicted of, crime
in another state shall be recognized by the Governor unless in writing alleging,
except in cases arising under § 19.2-91, that the accused was present in the
demanding state at the time of the commission of the alleged crime and that
thereafter he fled from such state, and accompanied: (1) by a copy of an
indictment found, (2) by a copy or an information supported by an affidavit
filed in the state having jurisdiction of the crime, (3) by a copy of an
affidavit made before a magistrate in such state together with a copy of any
warrant which was issued thereupon, or (4) 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; and the copy of the indictment, information, affidavit,
judgment of conviction or sentence must be authenticated by the executive
authority making the demand.
