–550– -550§ 5032. Confinement in jail when necessary The officer or persons executing the Governor's warrant of arrest, or the agent of the demanding State to whom the prisoner may have been delivered may, when necessary, confine the prisoner in any jail in the Canal Zone; and the keeper of the jail shall receive and safely keep the prisoner until the officer or person having charge of him is ready to proceed on his route, the officer or person being chargeable with the expense of keeping. The officer or agent of a demanding State to whom a prisoner may have been delivered following extradition proceedings in another State, or to whom a prisoner may have been delivered after waiving extradition in the other State, and who is passing through the Canal Zone with such a prisoner for the purpose of immediately returning him to the demanding State may, when necessary, confine the prisoner in any jail in the Canal Zone; and the keeper of the jail shall receive and safely keep the prisoner until the officer or agent having charge of him is ready to proceed on his route, the officer or agent being chargeable with the expense of keeping, if the officer or agent produces and shows to the keeper of the jail satisfactory written evidence of the fact that he is actually transporting the prisoner to the demanding State after a requisition by the Executive Authority of the demanding State. The prisoner is not entitled to demand a new requisition while in the Canal Zone. § 5033. Arrest prior to requisition When a person within the Canal Zone is charged on the oath of a credible person before a judge or magistrate of the Canal Zone with the commission of a crime in another State and, except in cases arising under section 5026 of this title, with having fled from justice, or with having been convicted of a crime in that State and having escaped from confinement, or having broken the terms of his bail, probation or parole, or when complaint has been made before a judge or magistrate of the Canal Zone setting forth on the affidavit of a credible person in another State that a crime has been committed in the other State and that the accused has been charged in that State with the commission of the crime, and, except in cases arising under section 5026 of this title, has fled from justice, or with having been convicted of a crime in that State and having escaped from confinement, or having broken the terms of his bail, probation or parole and is believed to be in the Canal Zone, the judge or magistrate shall issue a warrant directed to any peace officer commanding him to apprehend the person named therein, wherever he may be found in the Canal Zone, and bring him before the same or any other judge, magistrate or court who or which may be available in or convenient of access to the place where the arrest may be made, to answer the charge or complaint and affidavit, and a certified copy of the sworn charge or complaint and affidavit upon which the warrant is issued shall be attached to the warrant. § 5034. Arrest without a warrant The arrest of a person may be lawfully made also by any peace officer or a private person, without a warrant upon reasonable information that the accused stands charged in the courts of a State with a crime punishable by death or imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, but when so arrested the accused must be taken before a judge or magistrate with all practicable speed and complaint must be made against him under oath setting forth the ground for the arrest as in section 5033 of this title; and thereafter his answer shall be heard as if he had been arrested on a warrant.
