Dear Sir

We enclose you the affidavit of J F Jones with the view to obtain a requisition on the Governor of Indiana for the body of Charles Wheeler who is guilty not only of the offense specified in the affidavit, but likewise of disposing of the [...] notes [receipted] to other parties by like fraudulent representations, and who besides is a Convicted horse thief and Counterfeiter — This is his reputation & in this matter of the sale & transfer of the notes a grosser swindle was never perpetrated — We suggest the names of Mr [Sweetheimer] & Wade H. Moore, both of whom were victimized by him as proper persons to receive him from the Custody of the Authorities of Indiana —

Indiana

Requisition for Cha^s. Wheeler

Submitted to Judge James for his opinion whether this Affdt presents proper case for requisition

J F Robinson

I am of opinion the crime of obtaining property under false pretenses, as denounced by §2 Art. 13 Chap 28. Rev St. Vol 1 p. 392 — is sufficently set forth in the affidavit dated — sworn to 30^th May 1863. And being a felony a proper case is presented for a requision for the fugitive under the act of congress — 1 S. R. S. p. 71.
