Indiana

Requisition for Chas. 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 ยง2 Art. 13 Chap 28. Rev St. Vol 1 p. 392 -- is sufficently set forth in the affidavit dated -- sworn to 30th 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.
