¶1OPINION

MORRISON, Judge.

¶3The warrant of the Governor of Texas reciting that appellant stands charged by information, supporting affidavit, warrant and supporting papers with the crime of murder in the State of Oklahoma was introduced into evidence. The warrant is regular on its face and is sufficient for extradition. The supporting papers found in the record do not overcome the prima facie case presented by the warrant.
