Description
In this case a writ of habeas corpus was sought and issued by the district court preventing the interstate extradition of
the accused, R. L. Norton. After certain preliminary proceedings which are not questioned herein a hearing was held upon said
writ and thereafter the writ was quashed. Petitioner appeals from that order and we affirm. Norton was charged by an information with the crime of embezzlement in Oklahoma. A fugitive warrant was issued and when Norton
was found residing in Rigby, Idaho, a warrant for his arrest was issued in Idaho. While confined to the Bannock County jail
in Idaho, Norton sought and obtained the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus by the district court. At a hearing thereon Norton
sought to prove that he was not present in the state of Oklahoma at the time of the commission of the alleged crime by presenting
evidence accepted by the trial court which consisted of certain motel and motor vehicle repair receipts which might tend to
show his presence in Albuquerque, New Mexico on the date in question. The accused also sought to question the motivation for
the extradition by asserting that the proceedings were an attempt to collect a private debt through criminal process, but
the trial court refused to accept evidence on this contention. Following the hearing the writ of habeas corpus was quashed
and Norton was ordered to surrender himself for extradition. From these orders Norton appeals.
