629.03 DEMAND IN WRITING.
No demand for the extradition of a person charged with crime in another state shall be
recognized by the governor unless it alleges in writing, except in cases arising under section
629.06, that the accused was present in the demanding state at the time of the commission of
the alleged crime, and that the accused subsequently fled from the state. The demand shall be
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 court there,
together with a copy of any warrant which was issued on it; or by a copy of a judgment of
conviction or of a sentence imposed in execution of it, 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 bail, probation, or parole. The indictment, information, or affidavit made
before the court must substantially charge the person demanded with having committed a crime
under the law of that state. The copy of the indictment, information, affidavit, judgment of
conviction or sentence must be authenticated by the executive authority making the demand.
