Certiorari to Superior Court, Beaufort County; Frizzelle, Judge.
Habeas corpus proceeding in behalf of Charles Edward Hubbard. To review a judgment refusing the writ to discharge petitioner from custody, petitioner brings certiorari.
Reversed.
J. S. Smith made the following affidavit in the state of Virginia:
Upon this affidavit Charles H. Addison issued the following warrant:
There were three other warrants of the same character and verbiage.
The several warrants and the affidavit upon which they were issued were certified to the Governor of Virginia, who thereupon issued a requisition demanding for the reasons therein stated the extradition of the petitioner. Acting upon this requisition, the Governor of North Carolina ordered the arrest of the petitioner; and after being taken into custody the petitioner sued out a writ of habeas corpus, which was heard on August 28, 1931. His honor held that the affidavit and the warrant charged the petitioner with a violation of the criminal law of the state of Virginia of the grade of felony and that the petitioner is a fugitive from justice, and adjudged that the petitioner be held in custody to the end that he be taken to Virginia and delivered to the proper officers of the law. The petitioner applied for a certiorari, which was granted. Pending the hearing in this court, he is in the custody of the sheriff of Beaufort county.
Ward & Grimes, of Washington, N. C, for petitioner.
Dennis G. Brummitt, Atty. Gen., and A. A. F. Seawell, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
A person charged in any state with treason, felony, or other crime, who shall flee from justice and be found in another state, shall on demand of the executive authority from which he fled be delivered up, to be removed to the state having jurisdiction of the crime. Constitution of United States, arte 4, § 2. This section includes every offense punishable by the law of the state in which itwas committed and gives the right to demand the fugitive; and the right to demand implies the correlative obligation to deliver the fugitive without regard to the nature of the crime or the policy or laws of the demanding state. Kentucky v. Dennison, 24 How. 66, 103, 16 L. Ed. 717, 728.
There is no express grant to the Congress of legislative power to execute this provision, but in the opinion delivered in the case just cited Chief Justice Taney said that upon this body devolved the duty of providing by law the regulations necessary to carry the compact into execution. These regulations embrace the several statutes pertaining to the extradition of fugitives from justice, one of which is in the following words: 18 USCA § 662.
When, pursuant to this statute, the executive authority of a state demands any person as a fugitive from justice, of the executive authority of another state, the requisition may be challenged by the writ of habeas corpus issuing from a state court; the Congress not having undertaken to invest the judicial tribunals of the United States with exclusive jurisdiction to issue writs of habeas corpus in proceedings for arrest of fugitives from justice.
