Latest version.
  • If  from  the  examination  before the local criminal court it appears
      that the person held is the person charged  with  having  committed  the
      crime  alleged,  and,  except  in  cases arising under section 570.14 or
      570.16, that he has fled from justice, the local criminal court must, by
      a warrant reciting the accusation, commit him to  the  county  jail  for
      such  a  time not exceeding thirty days and specified in the warrant, as
      will enable the arrest of the accused to be made under a warrant of  the
      governor on a requisition of the executive authority of the state having
      jurisdiction  of  the offense, unless the accused gives bail as provided
      in the next section, or until he shall be legally discharged.
