Ex Parte Melvin Lane Powers

This is an appeal from an order entered in a habeas corpus proceeding by Honorable Wendell A. Odom, Judge of Criminal District Court No. 2 of Harris County, remanding appellant to custody for extradition to the State of Florida. At the hearing, the respondent introduced in evidence the executive warrant issued by Governor John Connally, of this state, which authorized the arrest of appellant and his delivery to the agents of the State of Florida for return to that state. The warrant recites that it has been made known to Governor Connally that appellant stands charged by affidavit and warrant before the proper authorities in the State of Florida with the crime of murder in the first degree; that he has taken refuge in this state; and that demand has been made for his arrest and delivery to the agents of the State of Florida for return to that state.
