The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““It is contended that the sworn statement of the warden of the Ohio penitentiary made to the Governor of that State, in regard to the crime, conviction and flight of relator and incorporated in the application for a requisition for his return was not authenticated as required by the Federal statutes. (3 Fed. Stat. Ann. Sec. 905, p. 212, Sec. 907, p. 220.) [U. S. Comp. St. §§ 1519, 1521.] This contention is based on a misinterpretation of the meaning and purpose of these statutes. They refer, when properly construed, to the authentication, for evidentiary purposes, of legislative and judicial records and proceedings and of records kept in offices not pertaining to courts. Papers incorporated in the application at bar which came within the purview of these statutes were authenticated as therein required. The warden’s statement belonged to none of these classes; and it was sufficiently authenticated by the certification of the Governor of Ohio as being ‘authentic and as having been duly authenticated in accordance with the laws of that state.’ (Section 5278, p. 285, 3 Fed. Stat. Ann.) [U. S. Comp. St. § 10126.] The United States Supreme Court in construing Section 5278, supra, has held that in the certification by the demanding Governor of the authenticity of the indictment or other formal charge, that the person named is a fugitive from justice, embodies the essentials necessary to call for action on the part of the Governor of the asylum state.
