Description
McKnight refused to waive extradition and filed with the district court his petition for writ of habeas corpus, alleging that he is and has been for the past eleven years a resident and citizen of Denver, Colorado, and is not and has not been a fugitive from justice from Nebraska and was not in said state at the time of the alleged crime. The testimony, upon hearing on said writ, discloses without conflict that McKnight left Nebraska some eleven years prior thereto, had not been in Madison county, Nebraska, for seven or eight years, and had paid support money as required for some years after leaving Nebraska. He relied solely on the fact that he was not a fugitive from justice. Thereupon the Court concluded that the extradition in fact was sought under section 6, chapter 117, S.L. 53, although nowhere in the record does it appear that he was charged in the extradition proceedings "with committing an act in this state, or in a third state, intentionally resulting in a crime in the state whose Executive Authority is making the demand," as required for extradition under said section.
