*421 OPINION
This is an appeal from an order in a ha-beаs corpus proceeding remanding apрellant to custody for extradition to the State of Washington.
This is the second time that the matter is before the Court. Appellant was ordered released from custody in the opinion reported in
Afterwards, the State of Washington made anothеr request for extradition. This appeal is from the order based on the second warrant of thе Governor of Texas.
The warrant recites thаt appellant stands charged by information, supporting affidavit and warrant before the prоper authorities with the crime of first degree forgery in the State of Washington.
The supporting papers, containing statutes of the State of Washington were introduced, and they show that the crime of first degree forgery could be proseсuted in that state by information. The supporting papers included an affidavit made before a magistrate and copies of the warrant. This wаs held sufficient in Ex parte Green, Tex.Cr.App.,
Appellant contends that the affidavits are insufficient.
The amended information is sworn to by Philip H. Faris, the prosecuting attorney for Whitman County, Washington. He makes positive averments of seven different counts of forgery, and the jurat of the affidavit recites that he had read the foregoing information, knows thе contents thereof, and believes the same to be true. There is another affidavit made by L. F. Rice referring to the information which recites thаt the affiant has personal knowledge of thе facts, and the jurat shows that it was sworn to and subscribеd before a judge of the superior court.
Article 51.13, Section 3, Vernon’s Ann.C.C.P., permits extradition upоn an information “supported by affidavit.” It is not necessary that the information be based upon аn affidavit where, under the laws of a demanding statе, prosecution could be instituted on an information alone. An information together with an affidavit sworn to subsequently to the date of the information is sufficient to authorize extradition. Ex parte Pеairs,
The Executive Warrant of the Governor of Texas, the requisition and the supporting paрers were sufficient for the judge conducting the hearing to conclude as he did arid remand appellant for extradition.
The judgment is affirmed.
