(405 ILCS 10/4) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 124)
Sec. 4.
Whenever the executive authority of any state demands of the
executive authority of this state, any fugitive within the purview of
section 3 and produces a copy of the commitment, judgment or other judicial
process and proceedings, certified as authentic by the Governor or chief
magistrate of the state whence the person so charged has fled, with an
affidavit made before a proper officer showing the person to be such a
fugitive, it shall be the duty of the executive authority of this state to
cause him to be apprehended and secured, if found in this state, and to
cause immediate notice of the apprehension to be given to the executive
authority making such demand, or to the agent of such authority appointed
to receive the fugitive, and to cause the fugitive to be delivered to such
agent when he shall appear. If no such agent appears within 30 days
from the time of the apprehension, the fugitive may be discharged. All
costs and expenses incurred in the apprehending, securing, maintaining and
transmitting such fugitive to the state making such demand, shall be paid
by such state. Any agent so appointed who receives the fugitive into his
custody shall be empowered to transmit him to the state from which he has
fled. The executive authority of this state is hereby vested with the
power, on the application of any person interested, to demand the return to
this state of any fugitive within the purview of this Act.
