alleged crime, and that thereafter he fled from the state, and accompanied by a copy of an
indictment found or by information supported by affidavit in the state having jurisdiction of the
crime, or by a copy of an affidavit made before a magistrate there, together with a copy of any
warrant which was issued thereupon or by a copy of a judgment of conviction or of a sentence
composed in execution, together with a statement by the executive authority of the demanding
