The governor of Ala. may extradite criminals from other states or be asked to return criminals found in Ala. to other states. This process may also be referred to as requisition. This series consists of two affidavits: a letter from Thomas G. Stewart, ex-officio justice of the peace from Fort Payne, Ala.; and an envelope noting the date Governor O'Neal approved the requisition and the date the requisition was issued in the office of C.C. Langdon, secretary of state. All of the documents pertain to the extradition of George Cooper from Tenn. Cooper attempted to aid in the escape of two prisoners from the DeKalb Co., Ala. jail.
