“Once the governor has granted extradition, a court considering release on ha-beas corpus can do no more than decide (a) whether the extradition documents on their face are in order; (b) whether the petitioner has been charged with a crime in the demanding state; (c) whether the petitioner is the person named in the request for extradition; and (d) whether the petitioner is a fugi tive. These are historic facts readily verifiable.”
