TO HIS EXCELLENCY, The Governor of the State of Kentucky

It appears by the annexed papers, duly authenticated according to the laws of our Stateo, that John Hoffer or Hooper stands charged by indictment (was Convicted and sent to the states Prison) with the crime of Grand Larceny and it has been represented to me that he has fled from the justice of this State and has taken refuge in the State of Kentucky

Now Therefore, I O. P. Morton Governor of the State of Indiana, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Laws of the United States, do, by these presents, demand that the said John Hoofer or Hooper be apprehended and delivered to D W Miller who is hereby authorized to receive and convey him to the State of Indiana, that he may abide his trial for the crime with which he stands charged "The State will pay no part of the expenses of the execution of this Writ."

In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the Seal of the State, at the City of Indianapolis this Sixteenth day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty=three, the forty eight year of the State, and of the Independence of the United States the Eighty Eighth.

BY THE GOVERNOR, O. P. Morton. James S. Athon Secretary of State.
